Promptchan updated its free tier structure in September 2026. The platform removed its previous free tier offering and introduced a new free tier with a Gems system.

Under the revised model, users can try chat and creation features at no cost. To access additional generations and features beyond the free allowance, users must upgrade to a paid plan.

The change reflects a shift toward a freemium model where core functionality remains accessible without payment, while expanded capabilities require a subscription. Users interested in the platform can now test its chat and creation tools before committing to a paid plan.
