Paid plans start at $49/mo.
Bannerbear’s listed plans start at $49/month for Automate, rise to $149/month for Scale, and start at $299/month for Enterprise. Those are monthly prices; annual rates are not published. The listed trial is 30 API credits, not a continuing free plan. The bigger issue is identity: the vendor's homepage URL describes Cool Text, a free text-image generator, while the pricing information is for Bannerbear. Verify you’re pricing the product you intend to buy before paying.
01Every plan, line by line
| Plan | Billed annually | Billed monthly | Built for |
|---|---|---|---|

| Scale | — | $149 | Teams needing higher monthly volume |
| Enterprise | — | $299 | Organizations with high-volume needs |
Add-ons and overages
- Overages are not billed per unit; upgrade to a higher plan when limits are reached.
02What the plan grid doesn't tell you
Team access starts higher
Automate includes one user; team members are not included. Scale includes team members and roles, so teams may need the $149/month tier.
Bandwidth is capped
Monthly bandwidth limits are 10 GB on Automate, 50 GB on Scale and 100 GB on Enterprise. Pricing for more bandwidth is not published.
More credits cost more
Scale includes 10,000 API credits for $149/month; 20,000 costs $198, 30,000 costs $247 and 40,000 costs $296.
Enterprise rates are partial
Enterprise starts at 50,000 API credits for $299/month. The listed price at 100,000 credits is $458; rates above that are not published.
03Which plan should you buy?
| If you are… | Get | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Single users automating images | Automate | The $49/month plan includes 1,000 API credits, 200 AI credits and 10 GB bandwidth, but no team members. |
| Teams needing more volume | Scale | At $149/month, it includes 10,000 API credits, 600 AI credits, 50 GB bandwidth, team members and roles. |
| Organizations with high volume | Enterprise | The $299/month plan includes 50,000 API credits, 1,250 AI credits and 100 GB bandwidth; higher-credit pricing is only partly published. |
04Is Bannerbear worth the money?
The listed prices may make sense if you need automated image generation and can work within the monthly API-credit and bandwidth limits. But the cost rises with volume, and overages are not billed per unit: the pricing information says to upgrade when limits are reached. We would hold off until the product identity is confirmed. The vendor's homepage is for Cool Text, not Bannerbear, so it does not verify that these plans belong to the product you’re evaluating.
Bannerbear pricing FAQ
Does Bannerbear have a free plan?
The published pricing information lists no free plan. It does list a trial of 30 API credits, but does not publish the trial duration or other terms. The vendor's homepage describes Cool Text as a free generator; that is a different product description and does not establish a free Bannerbear plan.
How much does Bannerbear cost per month?
The listed monthly prices are $49 for Automate, $149 for Scale and $299 for Enterprise. Higher credit volumes raise the price on some plans: Scale costs $198/month at 20,000 API credits, $247 at 30,000 and $296 at 40,000.
Does Bannerbear offer annual billing?
Annual billing prices are not published on the vendor's site. The listed prices are monthly: Automate at $49, Scale at $149 and Enterprise at $299. We would not assume an annual discount without a published rate or a direct quote.
What happens when I reach my API credit limit?
The pricing information says overages are not billed per unit; you need to upgrade to a higher plan when you reach a limit. It lists Scale as configurable up to 40,000 API credits and Enterprise up to 2,000,000, but does not publish all higher-volume prices.
