Three moves for this week.

Accuracy
If your company grosses over $1M a year, the terms require the Pro or Mega plan for commercial use. Check before you publish.
-
Privacy
Without Stealth Mode, your images are public. Stealth is only on Pro and Mega.

Cost
Plans auto-renew. Basic gives 200 Fast GPU minutes; unlimited Relax starts at Standard ($30/month).
Watch out: client work made on Basic or Standard is visible to everyone.
Power and Risk scores are editorial judgment for marketers and small-business operators, not laboratory tests or legal advice. Power = leverage (dangerous in a good way). Risk = what can go wrong (privacy, wrong answers, lock-in, cost surprises). Tools change; re-check pricing, privacy policies, and data controls before you adopt anything.
