Maxsa AI pricing, free plan and limits

Last updated: 2026-10-29

In late October 2026 Maxsa AI lists 22 image models and 27 video models in one anime, manga and cartoon studio, all drawn from a single credit balance. It covers anime art, photo conversion, character sheets, storyboards, comic pages and short clips, and runs entirely in the browser.

About Maxsa AI

Maxsa AI is a browser-based studio for anime, manga and cartoon art. It sells access to image and video models made by other companies through one shared credit balance, and wraps them in task pages for anime images, cartoon characters, photo conversion, character sheets, comic pages, storyboards and short clips. Its public pages name no founders, founding year or funding, and its LinkedIn page lists a very small team, so treat it as a young product. The interface runs in English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.

Each task page asks for a description or an uploaded image file, then a model and a frame shape. The credit cost shows on the Generate button before anything starts. Agent is the planning layer: after you confirm one total quote, it generates each shot and assembles a downloadable video plus the individual clips. Output is silent unless you pick a video model that offers audio.

The image catalogue includes GPT Image 2 from OpenAI, Nano Banana from Google DeepMind, FLUX.3 from Black Forest Labs, Seedream from ByteDance, Grok Imagine from xAI and Ideogram. On the video side it lists Kling, Veo, Seedance, Wan, MiniMax H3, PixVerse, Vidu and LTX from Lightricks. Credit cost swings widely by model: a basic draft model and a premium one can differ many times over on the same page.

It suits hobby artists, fan creators and small social accounts that want anime-specific starting points without separate subscriptions. It is the wrong pick for webcomic makers who need lettering, because comic pages come out as one image with no speech bubbles. If a daily free allowance matters more, weigh SeaArt against Krea; a single signature art style points to Midjourney; video-first work points to Higgsfield or Runway. The wider field is listed under AI image generators.

Prompts and reference photos leave the site. They go to the outside providers that run each model, and the privacy policy says those providers apply their own retention and any model-related use. Output rights are not guaranteed either: the terms say copyright, exclusivity and third-party rights depend on the law, the model's licence and your inputs. The service is intended for adults, including the kids' story tool, which helps adults plan stories rather than offering a child account.

Pricing

New eligible accounts receive a one-time grant of 50 credits that lasts 30 days. Paid plans: Starter $12 a month with 1,500 credits, Creator $29 with 3,600, Studio $59 with 7,500, each with higher credit steps at higher prices; yearly billing is 20% lower. Subscription credits refresh monthly and unused ones expire.

A $5 pack adds 600 credits valid for 12 months with no subscription. Basic rates are 2 credits per image, 6 and up per photo conversion, 12 per short clip and 8 per Agent delivery; the priciest listed image model costs 80. Prices are in USD with taxes added at checkout.

The plan shape differs from Midjourney, which bills by GPU time, and from Krea, which meters compute units.

Key Features

• Photo to Cartoon: Turns an uploaded photo (JPG, PNG or WebP) into one of 18 anime, cartoon and art looks, with three likeness settings and four background options.
• Character sheets: The anime character tool outputs a portrait, a full-body design, a front, side and back turnaround or a six-expression sheet from a description or a reference image.
• Comics and storyboards: Storyboard sheets offer 4, 6 or 8 panels and comic pages offer 3, 4 or 6, with a left-to-right or right-to-left reading choice for manga-style layouts.
• Agent video builder: Agent plans a multi-shot story and prices it as a single quote, then renders the shots and joins them into one video; direction itself is 8 credits on top of model and assembly costs.
• Upfront credit quotes: Every generation shows its credit cost before it starts, and the quoted credits are reserved, then returned if the task fails without a result.
• Animate an Image: Applies motion presets to an uploaded still; the default LongCat model makes clips of about 4.3 seconds at 480p, while other video models change length and resolution.

Pros

• Photo to Cartoon needs only a photo and a style, so a beginner gets a result without writing a prompt.
• The refund terms are specific rather than vague: a three-day window, and only for purchases that are barely used.
• Trying a different model never needs a new subscription, so the same idea can go through a budget model first and a pricier one next, with each cost shown beforehand.

Cons

• Comic pages come out as one image without speech bubbles or lettering, and character consistency across panels or generations is not guaranteed, so dialogue and continuity work happens outside the tool.
• Founders, founding year and funding are not published, and the Trustpilot page held no reviews in late October 2026, so there is little outside track record to judge it by.
• Prompts and reference photos go to outside AI providers; the privacy policy says Maxsa AI does not promise they delete inputs or never use them for improvement.
• Subscription credits expire at each monthly refresh, so a light month wastes the plan; only the one-time pack lasts a year.
