Find your available allowance before you begin
Once a character interests you, follow the sign-in or registration request attached to the activity. Browsing does not establish that conversation, generation or saving will work without an account. Use DarLink's own sign-in entry rather than entering your details into an offer on another website.
Look for the remaining allowance, any access restriction and the cost displayed beside a request. A trial may have conditions, but a daily refresh or a particular expiry should not be assumed. Ask us at support@darlink.ai if you cannot tell whether an action is available.
- Check chat access and media access as separate entries.
- Read any expiry or renewal notice that accompanies your trial.
- Complete the account prompts before requesting a conversation or an output.
Know which benefits belong to a subscription
The Essential subscription includes 6,000 messages each month. That figure is not a starter allowance for free accounts. The same distinction applies to included monthly coins and Ultimate's unlimited messages: they are benefits of their respective paid plans.
The published generation rates are 2 tokens for an image and 20 tokens for a video. These figures describe a charge, not a gift of credits. Video may require a subscription even when you can see an image trial, so read its access notice independently.
Start with a topic you would enjoy discussing
For a first exchange, imagine an adult fictional bookseller helping you choose a novel for a book club. Explain whether you want a brief recommendation or a longer discussion, then add a preference such as avoiding mysteries. You have given the character something concrete to answer without sharing private information.
Stay with that conversation long enough to decide whether the tone suits you. Explore pictures or video as separate activities when you want them. A purchase prompt is a point to make a decision, not an instruction that you must pay to continue browsing.
Choose paid access only after reading the offer
Match the subscription to the activity you expect to use. Before approving a payment, check the currency, total amount, billing period and renewal terms. A price expressed per day or per month may describe a longer commitment. Keep the receipt and make sure you know which account received the purchase.
Common questions
Can I use DarLink AI without a paid subscription?
Yes, free/basic access is offered. Your account shows the applicable allowance and restrictions. The messages and monthly coins advertised with subscriptions are paid benefits, not a promise of the same access for a free account.
Where do I find my free-message limit?
Read the allowance or availability notice in your account. The plan information does not specify one fixed free-message quantity or reset time. In particular, do not treat a paid monthly allowance as signup credit or assume it refreshes at midnight.
Do chat and generation work before I register?
Follow the account requirement shown for the feature. Viewing a character is not confirmation that you can message or generate anonymously. If Login or registration is requested, complete that step before trying the action.
Does free access give me unlimited images or videos?
No unlimited free media allowance is stated. An image trial and video access have separate conditions, and video can require a subscription. Published rates are 2 tokens per image and 20 per video; review the charge for the request itself.
Can someone under 18 use the free version?
No. DarLink is for adults aged 18 or older, whether access is free or paid. The same content restrictions apply throughout, and the companions are fictional AI characters rather than people.
