# LimeWire AI review (2026): is the free plan enough? > AI image and video generator built into a file-sharing site Checked Nov 12, 2026 ยท graded Nov 12, 2026 by ToolGPA. LimeWire AI Studio turns a written description into an image or a short video in the browser. It is part of LimeWire's file-sharing platform: generated results land in the same activity list as uploads and can be downloaded or shared by link. Generation spends credits, and every account gets a weekly allowance. - **Category:** AI Image & Video Generators - **Made by:** LimeWire - **Website:** https://limewire.com - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want more AI credits for money, as paid plans don't raise them. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 12, 2026 ## Pricing As of Nov 12, 2026, LimeWire AI has a free plan, and paid plans start at $9.99 per month (LimeWire Pro, a file-storage plan). - **Pricing model:** Free plan - **Free plan:** 60 free AI credits a week on every account; the Generate button shows each generation's cost.

Source: https://limewire.com/pricing ## Key features - **Text to image:** Describe a picture and pick a model: Google Gemini 2.5 (the default), Stable Diffusion Core, Stable Diffusion Ultra or Stable Diffusion XL v1.0. - **Text to video:** A Video tab turns a description into a short clip, in the browser with nothing to install. - **Credit-based use:** Generating spends credits, with 60 free credits a week on every plan and the cost shown before each generation. - **Shared with your files:** Results go to My Activity, the same list as uploads, where they can be downloaded or shared by link. - **No account to start:** You can begin without signing up; a free account lifts download limits and paid plans keep files longer. ## Good for - Occasional image or clip generation without a separate subscription - People who already use LimeWire to send files and want to share results by link ## Worth knowing - The paid plans raise upload size, storage and file lifetime, not the AI allowance, which is 60 credits a week on every plan. - Adult content is not allowed in prompts or results; violations can suspend the account. - The vendor's pages list four image models and do not name the video models. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. LimeWire AI Studio makes images and short videos in the browser, with 60 free credits a week on every account. The paid plans buy file storage rather than more AI, so the allowance is the same whatever you pay. - **Value for money: C.** Pro is $9.99 a month, but it raises uploads and storage, not the 60 weekly AI credits. - **Free plan and trial: C.** 60 free credits a week on every account, and a weekly cap is one you will reach. - **Features: C.** Text to image and text to video, with results kept alongside your files. The pages list four image models and don't name the video models. - **Ease of use: B.** Generate with no account to start, nothing to set up. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Browser only, with no integrations listed.
