No. You either buy Promptus Desktop for $49 (one-time) or use Promptus Cloud (subscription with credits). A limited free tier may be available, but it has restrictions.

Does the Promptus app work on macOS Intel?

No. The app is mainly for Windows (NVIDIA GPUs). macOS Apple Silicon works with ComfyUI in general, but Promptus Desktop itself isn’t optimized for macOS Intel.

You don’t need credits if you run locally on your GPU. Credits are only required if you use Promptus Cloud servers, which is helpful for people without a strong GPU.
