# Free Plan & Credits

## 3 free presentations

New users receive **60 credits**. Creating a presentation — from a topic, text, or a file — costs **20 credits**, so you can generate **3 full presentations for free**.

* Credits are only deducted when a generation **succeeds**. A failed or cancelled generation doesn't cost anything.
* No payment details are needed, and you can use your free presentations before signing in.
* Free presentations are capped at **7 slides** each.

## What's free vs. paid

**On the free plan:**

* Creating presentations with your free credits, up to 7 slides each
* 15 built-in templates
* The **Twistly Agent** chat

**Included in every paid plan (Starter, Pro, Team):**

* Unlimited presentation creation (no credits)
* Add Slide — AI-generated, blank and pre-designed sample slides (contacts, team, thank-you)
* Edit Text with AI
* Redesign
* Speaker Notes
* Images — searching stock and web images, and AI image generation
* The full template library. On the free plan, templates outside the free 15 are marked with a crown, and choosing one offers an upgrade. Any paid plan unlocks them all.
* Removing the "made with" badge

**Pro & Team only:**

* [Custom templates](/custom-templates-pro-and-team/upload-a-template.md)
* [API access](/plans-billing-and-team/api-access.md)
