How to gift a subscription or AI credits

You can gift a KollabiuM plan subscription or a pack of AI credits with a certificate. It's a code the recipient uses to switch on the plan or get the credits. It makes a great gift: for a birthday, for a friend who's been meaning to try AI Studio, or for a colleague.

Open certificates

There are two kinds of certificates: "Plan" and "AI credit pack".

How to gift a subscription: buy a certificate

• A plan: in "Plans & certificates", click "Buy as a gift" on the card of the plan you want.
• Credits: on the "AI Studio credits" page, click "Buy as a gift" on a pack.

Pay as usual. The plan or credits won't be activated for you. Instead, a certificate with the status "Ready to activate" will appear in the "Certificates" section. From there you can gift it or share the code.

How to gift a certificate?

1. Go to "Plans & certificates" → "Certificates".
2. On the certificate card, click "Gift".
3. Enter the recipient's username without the @, or their email, and click "Continue".
4. Confirm by clicking "Send".

The certificate immediately belongs to the recipient, and they get a notification. A gift can't be taken back, so double-check who you're sending it to. You can't gift a certificate to yourself or to someone you've blocked or who has blocked you.

How to activate a certificate?

If someone gifted you a certificate through KollabiuM, it's already waiting in the "Certificates" section, marked "Gift". If you were sent a code:

1. Go to "Plans & certificates" → "Certificates" → "Add by code".
2. In the "Add certificate" window, enter the code. The certificate will appear in your list, but it isn't switched on yet.
3. Click "Activate". We'll show you exactly what you'll get and for how long. Confirm with "Yes".

You can also enter a code right when you're buying something, in the "Have a certificate or promo code?" field.

Why two steps, adding and then activating? So you never switch on a plan by accident, and so you can decide whether to keep the certificate or pass it on as a gift.

Good to know before activating

• The plan term starts when you activate the certificate, not when it was bought. You can save a certificate and switch it on whenever it suits you.
• If you already have the same plan, the term is added to your current one.
• If you have a lower plan, the new one starts right away, and the rest of your old plan doesn't carry over.
• If you have a higher plan, you won't be able to activate it: you'll see "This plan is lower than your current one". The certificate stays saved, and you can gift it.
• Credits from a certificate land on your balance immediately and are valid for 180 days.

How long is a certificate valid?

A certificate code must be activated within 12 months of purchase. You'll see the date on the card: "Code valid until …". After that date, the certificate's status changes to "Expired".

Promo codes

A promo code gives you a discount on a purchase. Enter it in the "Have a certificate or promo code?" field when paying and click "Check code".

Promo codes may come with restrictions: a validity period, a limited number of uses, or specific plans or packs. Promo codes can't be applied when buying a certificate.
