> Sorry for a basic question-- does it require a paid Figma subscription?
It doesn't, but you'll immediately need to (1) sign up for an account and (1) buy credits to generate more than one image. Although unexplained, each credit = one vector image. Buying plug-in credits costs $10 for 50.
The plug-in provides a limited GUI for ReCraft V3, notably less capable than what ReCraft's GUI and API allows. ReCraft itself gives users 50 credits/day, allowing them to create 12 vector images/day for free.
The ReCraft API used by the plug-in costs $0.08 per vector image (which consume 80 API Units).
