LTX Studio is a storytelling studio: script, storyboard, characters and shots, all inside a timeline built to tell a complete story. It is a pre-production tool as much as a generator.
The pricing follows that ambition. The free plan gives 800 one-off credits on LTX-2 models only, for personal use. Lite at $15 stays personal use. Standard at $35 unlocks commercial use plus Veo 2 and Kling 2.6 Pro, and Pro at $125 unlocks Veo 3.1 and Kling 3.0 Pro.
Imaginode does not tell the story for you, it produces shots. All 100+ models, Veo and Kling included, are available from the first plan, commercial use is included from the first credit, and every generation shows its price before the click.

Frequently asked questions
Does LTX Studio replace an editing suite?
It covers pre-production and assembling generated shots. For a fine cut, a classic editor is still needed in both cases.
Can I use LTX for free on client work?
No per the 20 August 2026 records: the free and Lite plans are personal use. Commercial use starts at $35 a month.
Does Imaginode include commercial use?
Yes, from the first credit, with no watermark and no tier to unlock. The [Pricing page](/pricing) lists the plans.
Is Imaginode a good alternative to LTX Studio?
For standalone shots with commercial use from the first credit, and Veo 3.1 or Kling 3.0 without a $125 plan, yes. If you are writing a short film or a series of linked shots, work as a named team, or want a pitch deck generated from the script, LTX Studio's storyboard does that better.
