Read the access notice for the activity you want
Choose a character, then follow the Login or registration prompt if the next action requires it. Being able to browse is not confirmation of no-sign-up messaging, saving or generation. Enter account details through DarLink rather than a separate offer claiming to activate free access.
Before submitting, check the available allowance, the request's charge and any trial conditions shown. Do not plan around an assumed daily refill or expiry date. If the account wording leaves you unsure, tell support@darlink.ai which feature you are trying to use.
- Look up the allowance for messages and for the media feature separately.
- Use any stated trial dates or availability notices rather than assuming a reset time.
- Resolve a sign-in requirement before sending a chat or generation request.
Separate a free trial from paid monthly benefits
Essential's 6,000 monthly messages are part of that subscription, not a credit awarded to every new account. Included monthly coins and Ultimate's unlimited messages also belong to paid plans. A subscription comparison cannot tell you your free allowance.
The listed prices for generation are 2 tokens per image and 20 tokens per video. They are spending rates, not free-credit quantities. An image trial does not unlock video by implication; video can require a subscription even when image trial access is visible.
Give your first chat a small creative task
You might ask a fictional adult baker to suggest a name for a weekend bread stall. Explain that you prefer an understated name and a short reason for the choice. Then refine the request. This gives you a conversation to participate in without providing real customer or business details.
Notice whether the replies suit the exchange you want before adding a second activity. Image creation and video need their own access and cost checks. If a payment offer appears, you can pause to read it; seeing the offer is not a reason to authorize a purchase immediately.
Know what you would be agreeing to buy
If you decide to subscribe, compare your intended use with the plan's allowance. Review the actual payment total, currency, billing period and renewal terms. A daily headline or monthly equivalent may describe a longer purchase. Retain the receipt and the account used so you can identify it later.
Common questions
Is a subscription required to try DarLink AI?
Not for all access: DarLink describes a free/basic tier and an image trial. Check what your account can use. Paid-plan messages and monthly coins are separate benefits and should not be read as a free starting balance.
How many DarLink messages are free, and when do they reset?
There is no universal free-message count or refresh time stated in the plan information. Follow your account's allowance and availability notice. Do not substitute Essential's paid monthly quantity or assume a new allowance arrives every day.
Can I send messages or generate media without an account?
Browsing a profile does not establish anonymous use of the other features. Follow the Login or registration requirement presented for the action. Do not assume an image, video or chat can proceed without signing in.
Are free image and video requests unlimited?
No unlimited free generation allowance is stated. Check the image trial and video access independently, since video can require a subscription. The listed charges are 2 tokens for an image and 20 for a video; review your request total before sending it.
Does free access change DarLink's minimum age?
No. You must be at least 18, regardless of whether you subscribe. Our content rules apply to both free and paid use, and conversations are with fictional AI companions, not human partners.
