v1.7.12025-11-28

Highlights

  • Dashboard settings now manage plan changes end-to-end
  • Safer upgrades/downgrades with clearer pricing previews
  • Lower-friction submit bar when you run out of credits

Changes

  • Expanded the dashboard Settings page so you can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel plans directly, with plan change controls brought into the app instead of relying only on the pricing page.
  • Plan changes now show a concise preview dialog: upgrades can include a one-time prorated charge, while downgrades adjust pricing for future renewals only with no refunds or credits for the current cycle.
  • Downgrades (including switching to Free) no longer attempt to create prorated credits or refunds, closing a potential abuse path and avoiding Stripe preview errors for accounts without upcoming invoices.
  • Polished language across the subscription and plan-change UI to be shorter and easier to scan, focusing on what changes and when it takes effect instead of underlying billing mechanics.
  • Refined the workspace submit bar: zero available credits are highlighted in red, low-credit actions are tucked into the Available Credits block, and desktop buttons are muted by default to reduce visual noise.
  • Removed redundant out-of-credits notifications when the upgrade modal opens so users see a single, clear path forward instead of a toast plus modal stack.
v1.7.02025-11-21

Highlights

  • V3 becomes the default with a refreshed pipeline powered by Google Nano Banana Pro
  • New 1K/2K/4K quality ladder with clearer credit costs
  • Smarter masking and progress UX: clearer stages, better error/retry states
  • Fitment picker adds Slammed and mobile stages now mirror desktop

Changes

  • Set V3 as the default model and introduced a leaner prompt plus upgraded masking via Nano Banana Pro before wheel placement.
  • Added 1K (Standard), 2K (High Res), and 4K options to V3 with upfront credit costs (1K at 3 credits, 2K at 6, 4K at 10).
  • Improved V3 reliability on similar-looking wheels with a dedicated mask pass that preserves brakes/stance and reuses cached masks without losing them when toggling controls.
  • Refined progress UI on desktop and mobile: clearer multi-step stages, higher-contrast badges, and full-card error overlays with inline retry.
  • Kept retry buttons visible on failed renders, showing the original car faintly under a tinted overlay so you know what failed.
  • Fitment control now offers “Slammed” instead of “Tucked,” with prompt text aligned to the new stance option.
  • Smoothed out pending states and cache indicators so fast-lane renders are correctly labeled across V1/V2/V3.
  • General polish across submit bar defaults (V3 + Standard 1K), stage text visibility on mobile, and gallery badges for generating/failed states.
v1.6.02025-11-06

Highlights

  • New Upgrade experience with credit packs and tabs
  • Redesigned submit bar with better mobile ergonomics
  • Studio Mode toggle + confirmation and clearer credit usage
  • Pricing copy and UI refresh; watermark tuned for clarity

Changes

  • Introduced a tabbed Upgrade modal with a dedicated Credit Packs section and streamlined checkout — pick a plan or top up without leaving the dashboard.
  • Updated credit pack sizes/values and refined how they’re displayed in the modal for easier comparison.
  • Dashboard pricing links now open the Upgrade modal directly, so you can review options in-context instead of navigating away.
  • Redesigned the submit bar with clearer primary/secondary actions and improved spacing; mobile actions are larger and easier to tap.
  • Added Studio Mode with a prominent toggle and a confirmation step; creative controls now reflect Studio mode more consistently.
  • Render usage information appears when Studio mode is active, clarifying how credits are consumed for these runs.
  • Revamped pricing UI and updated plan details; removed the ‘4K’ reference to better reflect current output characteristics.
  • Improved error messages during rendering and added “modified” indicators to show when inputs have changed before re‑submitting.
  • Watermark behavior on free plan renders has been tuned for visibility without being distracting (size/opacity adjustments).
v1.5.02025-10-31

Highlights

  • Upgrade flow is clearer with refreshed pricing cues
  • Workspace, guides, and timestamps polished for everyday use

Changes

  • Refined pricing and upgrade flows with clearer plan messaging, a streamlined checkout button, and a new topbar CTA for free accounts.
  • Updated plan usage handling so lifetime and monthly quotas display correctly without resetting your saved usage.
  • Polished the dashboard workspace with collapsible creative controls, reusable icon actions, refreshed sidebar styling, and unified spacing.
  • Watermarked free-plan renders, improved error guidance when a render fails, and refreshed gallery plus homepage imagery for a sharper preview experience.

v1.4.12025-10-24

Highlights
