Is Genspark Free? What the $0 Plan Covers and Where It Stops

Yes, Genspark is free to start. Every account opens on a Free plan at $0 with 100 credits a day, 1 GB of AI Drive storage and basic access to its models and agents.^[1] The daily refill is not endless, though. It runs only up to a lifetime cap on free credits, and once an account reaches that cap the refill stops, while the balance left over keeps working. Genspark's plan pages describe no free trial of Plus or Pro. So the Free plan is the trial: a fair way to test the product, not a home for steady weekly work.

How the 100 daily credits behave on a free account

Daily free credits expire after one day, so they never pile up for a bigger project at the weekend.^[2] Free also gets no weekly Free Quota and no credit-free 5-hour window for AI Chat or AI Image; both belong to personal Plus and Pro plans. On Free, every chat message and every picture is paid from the daily balance. That matters because Genspark meters work, not requests. Processing power, memory, model time, long context and high resolution all raise what a single task costs.

Genspark's help center gives some reference points. A Super Agent message in Standard mode typically costs 10 to 60 credits, while Ultra typically runs 50 to 500. A 10-slide AI Slides deck starts at about 100 credits on Standard. Regenerations and failed agent retries cost credits too, and every message in a long chat re-processes the whole conversation. That budget is thin.

Two more rules shape the free account. Text jobs show their cost only after the turn finishes, in your credit history, while new images, video and music ask you to confirm a price card first. Genspark does not print how large the lifetime cap is, so nobody can tell you in advance how many days of refills an account gets. Plan around it. If you later move to a paid plan, its monthly allocation replaces the 100 daily credits; Genspark does not give you both at once.

What a free account can build, and where each tool locks

The Free plan opens most of the workspace rather than a demo corner. The limits sit at the edges: exporting, hosting, watermarks and a few one-time allowances. Everything below runs on the daily credits unless the row says otherwise, and the right-hand column is what a paid plan unlocks for the same project. Read the table as a map of where a free project will stop, not of what it can start.

Exports are the real wall. A deck built on Free can be presented full screen and shared as a link, but it cannot leave the workspace as a PPTX or PDF file.^[3] AI Docs works the same way. For anyone who has to hand a file to a teacher, client or manager, that gate bites sooner than the credits do. Our AI Slides guide covers the modes and per-page costs in detail. The meeting allowance is one-off as well: those 60 free minutes never reset.

The community Skills library, with more than 100 reusable Skills from publishers including Anthropic, OpenAI and Genspark, needs only a free account. There is one trap. Skills do not work in Classic mode, and most free accounts start in Classic. Switch New Super Agent on from the plus menu before you go looking for a Skill: an open Classic chat shows no Skills row. The mode also sets your file limit. In New Super Agent, attachments on Free are capped at 500 MB a file and 5 GB a message; Classic stays at 100 MB a file.

Free downloads are not free usage

Several Genspark apps cost nothing to install, yet bill your credits the moment you use them. The Super App for macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows and Linux is a free download, and its usage follows your plan and credits. The Chrome extension is free to install and consumes credits when it works. The Word, Excel and PowerPoint add-ins activate with a free Genspark account. Claw can run locally on macOS or Windows with no subscription, using only credits, but only while the computer is on and the app is open.

A few pieces really are free. GenClipboard, a clipboard manager for Mac, Windows and Linux, needs no subscription and no credits. In GenTerminal, the terminal itself, terminal sharing and the Mesh device network cost nothing, while its bundled agent draws credits. Genspark says its AI Browser runs on-device AI locally at no cost. Two things look free and are not. Claw in the cloud needs a separate Cloud Computer subscription whose price the help center does not print, and SecondBrain Note includes 300 transcription minutes a month only because you bought the device.

Testing a paid plan without a trial

The only trial in the product belongs to Speakly. New users get an automatic 7-day trial of dictation, after which the Free limit of 4,000 words a week applies, resetting every Monday at 00:00 UTC. An invite reward gives both people 30 days once the new user makes a first voice input. Genspark's plan pages describe nothing similar for Plus or Pro, so the practical method is to run your real tasks on Free first and see how quickly the daily credits run out.

The safety net after that is the refund rule. US buyers of Plus, Pro or Cloud Computer on the web can ask for a refund within 72 hours of a charge if less than half the subscription or quota has been used. Genspark grants that refund once per customer; the Genspark pricing guide has the full terms. Do the heavy testing inside those first 72 hours. Leave room under the half-use line, too. Team is non-refundable for partly used periods, and purchases made through the App Store or Google Play are refunded through the store, not by Genspark.

Mobile buyers see a different list. The iOS app is free with in-app purchases, and Apple's in-app list shows Plus Monthly credit tiers at $24.99 (10K), $49.99 (21K), $74.99 (32K) and $99.99 (44K) a month. The same App Store list carries one-time credit packs at $19.99 and $39.99, without printing how many credits each holds. Apple bills and manages those purchases in the device's store settings. Only one billing platform can be active on an account at a time.

When the free credits stop being enough

On the web, Plus starts from $24.99 a month billed monthly, or $19.99 a month billed annually, which Genspark charges as $239.99 a year upfront. That entry tier carries 10,000 credits a month. Beyond the credits, Plus adds the weekly Free Quota for Standard-mode work, core AI Chat and AI Image models at no credit cost within a 5-hour window, 50 GB of AI Drive, exports and hosting. Flagship models always use credits. Monthly credits expire at the end of each period, with no rollover.

Billing choice is simple arithmetic. By our arithmetic, twelve months at the entry monthly rate come to $299.88, which is $59.89 more than the annual price. Monthly billing stays cheaper for up to 9 months ($224.91) and passes the annual price in the 10th month ($249.90). Those figures ignore the refund window, tier changes and taxes. Unsure the habit will stick? Start monthly. Commit to annual only when you expect at least ten months of use.

Pro starts from $249.99 a month for 125,000 credits, with a weekly Free Quota ten times larger than the one on Plus. That tier is for people who live in Ultra mode or run long agent jobs every day. Students weighing the free account against a paid plan have their own limits to consider, from the watermark to the export gate; our Genspark for students guide works through them. For most people the decision is narrower than it looks: Free until the cap or the export lock forces a move.

Who can stay on Genspark Free, and who will outgrow it

Free suits someone exploring the workspace: a few Super Agent tasks a week, a deck shared by link, a document read on screen, dictation under 4,000 words a week. It does not suit anyone who needs files out of Genspark, unwatermarked images, hosted sites, Call For Me phone calls or daily agent work, because each of those either locks or burns through 100 credits fast. Remember the lifetime cap too. The daily refill has an end point that Genspark does not print, so judge Free by your real tasks before it stops.
