objections

  • objection: Generated assets will not match our brand or look realistic.
    response: Test a real product image and reusable character across several campaign scenes before committing to a larger plan.
  • objection: Credit consumption will be hard to forecast.
    response: Check the displayed generation cost and model choice, then budget from a small production pilot; unused credits have plan-specific rollover caps.
  • objection: Can we use the assets commercially?
    response: The pricing page says paid plans include a commercial license; review its terms for the intended campaign.
