Is Artlist AI worth it?

Worth it if

• You use a licensed library every week: A licensed music, sound-effects and footage library with stems and Song Match, AI music on Google Lyria 3, a Studio with camera and lens controls, Flows, an Agent, and plugins for Premiere, After Effects and Photoshop.
• You want an agent that shows the model, settings and credit cost before each run.
• You work in Premiere, After Effects or Photoshop and want AI inside them.

Think twice if

• Credits reset every month and drop to zero when the subscription ends.
• Refunds within 14 days, and only if nothing was generated, downloaded or used.
• Its help center says that once a subscription expires you can't download the content you generated.
• "Unlimited" generation exists only on yearly plans of 40,000 credits or more, only on low-cost or low-resolution models, with daily limits. In August 2026 Artlist sold a year of unlimited Seedance 2.5 and withdrew it within about a week (CineD, 14 Aug 2026).
• A free account gets 1 video on a low-cost model, 2 images, 3 voiceovers and 2 songs, and free generations can't be downloaded.
