Free vs premium designs: what is the difference?

Designs in the catalogue are either free or premium. The difference is only in what you pay at publish; both are made, sent and managed the same way.

Free designs

Every occasion has free designs, and every occasion ends with a Simple starter. A free design costs nothing to publish. Its envelope intro and effects are part of the design.

Premium designs

A premium design is marked on its tile. You pay once, for that invitation, when you publish, unless your plan includes it. Nothing is charged while you create, preview or add guests.

A premium design is priced by what it is:

• A Signature invitation or a Card invitation. Cards are priced lower.
• Still or Live: a Live design's cover plays a film.
• Wedding designs have their own prices.

While a launch discount runs, the full price is struck through beside what you pay. Current prices and what each plan includes are on the pricing page.

What a paid premium design brings

• The licence stays with that invitation for good. Unpublishing, republishing and later edits are free.
• The invitation gets its own place on top of your plan's active invitations, so it never uses one of your plan's slots.
• Any premium envelope intro or background effect can be used on that invitation.

A premium design is bought for one invitation. To use it again for another occasion, choose Duplicate on that invitation: the copy keeps the design and asks for its price again at publish.

How you see the price

• In the catalogue, each tile shows the price as it applies to you: free, Included in your plan, or the amount in your currency.
• On the create form, a note above the preview says what publishing will cost.
• On the Overview, Pay & publish opens one payment for everything premium on the invitation. See Paying to publish.
