Explorer ($8/mo or $59/yr) adds AI trip generation, the ability to share trips by link, copy and remix trips from the community, plus 5 credits every month.

Your credits are preserved when your subscription lapses. They never expire and you can keep using them on the Free plan. Re-subscribing simply resumes the monthly grant on top of whatever balance you still have.

Yes, you can cancel anytime from your account settings. You keep access until the end of your current billing period. Any credits you have accumulated are preserved and will be available again if you resubscribe. No contracts, no tricks.
