01 · CREATE AN ACCOUNT

One sign-up opens the door to a wide model catalogue.

Go to OpenRouter and create an account. OpenRouter brings models from many AI providers into one account, so you can use the same login and credit balance as you explore different options.

Once you are signed in, open the Credits page if you want to add funds. OpenRouter credits are denominated in US dollars. You can connect PoeysiaPRO first and try available free models without buying credits.

02 · FREE MODEL ACCESS

$10 is a useful top-up, not an entry fee.

Eligible free models are available without a credit purchase, but OpenRouter applies daily limits. OpenRouter currently lists a 50-request daily limit for accounts that have not purchased credits. After an account has purchased at least $10 in credits, the listed limit for free models rises to 1,000 requests per day. These limits can change, so check the current free-model collection before relying on a specific allowance.

Models marked free may still have availability or rate limits. If a generation uses a paid model, its price depends on the model and the request. Check the estimate shown in PoeysiaPRO before starting.

03 · CONNECT POEYSIAPRO

Link your account from Generative Creation.

  1. 01

    Open Generative Creation

    Launch PoeysiaPRO and choose Video Gen, Image Gen or Audio Gen.

  2. 02

    Choose Connect OpenRouter

    PoeysiaPRO opens the OpenRouter sign-in and authorization flow. Sign in and approve the connection.

  3. 03

    Return to the app

    Pick an available model and format. You do not need to copy an API key into the app.

After connecting, the app uses your OpenRouter account for model usage. PoeysiaPRO displays an estimate before you start, so you can decide whether that generation fits your budget.

04 · BILLING

Your model usage stays on your OpenRouter account.

PoeysiaPRO adds no separate generation fee when you connect OpenRouter. OpenRouter bills the model usage to your account based on the model you choose. Free models follow their current usage limits; paid models use the price shown for that model and request.

OpenRouter has no required monthly AI subscription for its standard pay-as-you-go use. Its account balance and model prices are separate from a PoeysiaPRO subscription: advanced editing features in PoeysiaPRO require an active subscription, with Basic starting at €6.99/month.

05 · MAKE SOMETHING

Generate once, then keep building in PoeysiaPRO.

Choose a model that supports your chosen format, enter your creative direction and review the estimate. When the result is ready, it is saved in your local Library alongside your other media. From there, keep using it across the desktop app’s creative tools.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Start with the account you choose.

Try an available free model, add credits if you want a higher daily allowance, and let the estimate guide each paid generation.
