Krea: Unlimited generations narrowed to relaxed-only
Krea redefined "unlimited generations" as "unlimited relaxed generations" across all four paid tiers (Free, Basic, Pro, Max).

WHY IT MATTERS
For AI creative tools, "unlimited" is increasingly a marketing label with fine print attached, not a real cap-free guarantee — buyers should read the qualifier (relaxed speed, in-house models only) as the actual entitlement. Watch whether Krea narrows the in-house model list further as newer, costlier models ship, and whether competitors selling similar unlimited-generation plans follow with their own relaxed-tier carve-outs.

THEIR RATIONALE
Krea frames this as clarifying what "unlimited" always meant in practice rather than as a cut: relaxed generation on owned models keeps users creating at no marginal cost once metered compute runs out. The scoping to in-house models signals Krea is optimizing for margin on its own inference stack versus paying to route unlimited volume through licensed third-party models.
THE SIGNAL
This is the classic walk-back of an "unlimited" claim that never had unlimited underlying cost support — compute-metered generation was always the real constraint, and the relaxed/in-house carve-out just makes that explicit. It fits the wider generative-AI pattern of vendors converting open-ended usage promises into throttled, model-tiered access once GPU costs bite: unlimited becomes conditional on which model you're willing to accept and how fast you need it.
