Monthly and Short-Term AI Plans: Try a Tool Before a Year
Short terms for testing a tool on real work: what each monthly listing includes, who it is for and what happens when the term ends.
A year is a long commitment for a tool you have not used. These short listings let you try one on a real project first. Many renew at the vendor's own price if you leave a card on file, so turn off auto-renew after you activate.
Build and present
- Lovable Pro, 1 month ($15.99): 100 credits for the month, private projects, custom domains, GitHub sync and code download.
- Gamma Plus, 1 month ($9.99) and Gamma Pro, 1 month ($16.99): AI presentations, documents and simple sites. Pro adds advanced models, custom fonts and custom domains.
Code
- Cursor Pro+ with Grok Bot, 1 month ($49.99): Cursor's top individual tier plus xAI's Grok Bot agents; checkout needs a live card. See Grok Bot explained.
- Cursor Pro+, 1 year ($399.99) if the month convinces you; it needs an account that never had a paid Cursor plan.
- Codex 50M tokens, 2 days and 100M tokens, 3 days for a heavy burst in Codex CLI or Cursor through a gateway.
Assistants and voice
- Google AI Pro, 3-month trial ($6.99): for a Google account that never had Google One or an AI plan; needs a payment method and must be redeemed within 7 days.
- ElevenLabs Creator, 3 months ($27.99): 121,000 credits a month, professional voice cloning and a commercial license.
- Muse AI account, 1 billion tokens ($1.99): a ready account for the Muse AI agent (email, calendar, bookings, image and video generation).
- ChatGPT for Teachers (K-12) ready account ($7.99): no warranty, can stop working at any time, and Codex needs a verified phone number. Read its page before buying.
Frequently asked questions
Will I be charged after the month?
Only if the vendor's checkout took a card and you leave auto-renew on. Turn it off in the vendor's billing settings.
Can I extend a monthly plan?
Buy the yearly listing when the month ends, if one exists for that tool.
