Premium and FoundryInk access

Some of FoundryInk's most powerful help comes in layers you can switch on. They stack: the assistant at the base, Muse (the Codex) on top of it, and Premium (deep import) on top of that. Here's what each unlocks and how to get it.

1Three layers, stacked

The assistant layer turns on Muse's drawer and its help. Muse adds the Codex (characters, locations, timeline) and character chat on top. Premium sits above both and unlocks the deep tools. They're granted per user by a studio owner or admin (in Admin, Users), and each one needs the layer below it, so Premium features need all three switched on.

Not sure what you have? If you see the sparkles button but no Codex tab, you have the assistant but not Muse yet.
Pro note
Turn these on for the people who'll use them. It's per-user, so your letterer and your writer can have different tools.

2What Premium unlocks

Premium is about deep import. Paste in existing material, a script, a cast document, a whole story-world, and FoundryInk structures it into studios, series, assets, and a cast for you to review. It can also do per-page transcription: scanning your pages for the script, detecting characters and locations, and spotting scan fixes. Without Premium, a basic import still organizes your cast; Premium adds the per-page depth.

Pro note
Bringing a finished series over from somewhere else? Premium import is the shortcut that saves you a week of data entry.

3Headroom and billing

Muse runs on a daily compute allowance that resets each day (a larger allowance on higher plans), so heavy days don't surprise you. You manage your plan from the account menu under Plan and billing, on the same payment rails as everything else. When you hit the ceiling, Muse pauses until the allowance resets the next day, and normal use rarely gets there.

Pro note
The free tier still publishes and sells everything. The paid layers are about assistant headroom, not about unlocking your own work.

Quick questions

No. The free tier publishes and sells everything you make. The paid layers add assistant headroom and the deep import and Codex tools, not access to your own work.

They're layered: the Codex needs the Muse layer, and deep import needs Premium (which needs Muse, which needs the assistant). An admin enables each per user.

Muse runs on a daily compute ceiling that resets each day, larger on higher plans. Hit it and Muse pauses until the next day; normal use rarely gets there.

In the account menu under Plan and billing, on the same payment rails as your studio subscriptions.
