The easiest way to choose the wrong plan is to choose by team size.
That sounds sensible, but it misses the real variable.
TouchHue usage is driven more by production rhythm than by headcount. A small team running repeated launches may need more room than a larger team that only tests a few products each month.
So the question is not "How big is our team?" It is:
How often are we going to generate, refine, and extend results inside the workflow?
Start with the production rhythm, not the price tag
Think about the last 30 days, or the next 30 days you are planning for.
Ask:
- How many products need scene exploration?
- How many outputs need supporting crops or more shots?
- How often will we use retouch and style after the first result?
- Are we producing mostly one-off tests, or repeated launch assets?
Those answers point to the right plan faster than budget alone.
When Starter is the right fit
Starter is usually right when the team is still validating the workflow in paid use.
Typical signs:
- you are testing the first few products
- you do not yet need heavy retouch cycles every week
- the output pace is still selective
- you want the lowest-friction path from first image to first commercial result
Starter is not "small forever." It is the right entry point when the main goal is proving the workflow works for your products and team.
When Pro is the better baseline
Pro is usually the strongest default once the workflow becomes part of real production.
It fits when:
- you are launching repeatedly, not occasionally
- you expect to refine results, not only generate them once
- you need retouch, style, and more-shots as part of normal output
- the business wants a steadier weekly rhythm
This is often the right plan for teams that already know the first result is only the beginning.
When Growth becomes the practical choice
Growth fits teams that are no longer asking whether the workflow works. They are asking how to produce more with less friction.
Growth is usually right when:
- multiple products are active in the same period
- refinement loops are common, not exceptional
- the team wants more headroom for repeated generation
- higher-volume output is becoming normal
If the workflow is already part of how launches get delivered, Growth often becomes a production decision rather than an experiment.
When Top-up makes more sense than upgrading
Top-up is for overflow, not for replacing the monthly plan entirely.
Use it when:
- a launch spike temporarily pushes usage higher
- a campaign window needs extra room quickly
- the team needs temporary Growth access
- you want more credits without reworking the baseline plan immediately
If that heavier pace is happening every month, then a higher monthly tier is usually cleaner.
A simple way to choose
Use this rule:
- Starter if you are proving the workflow in paid use
- Pro if the workflow is becoming part of weekly production
- Growth if repeated output and refinement are already the norm
- Top-up if you need temporary overflow on top of the normal baseline
That is the practical lens most teams need.
Where TouchHue fits
TouchHue pricing is built around the real workflow, not just one-click output. That is why plan choice should reflect how far your team goes after the first result: scene creation, pack generation, retouch, style changes, more shots, and customer-facing previews.
