Templated: cost, fit and limits
Templated is a template-based generation platform made by Fields Apps LTDA, a Brazilian company, that fills designed templates with data to produce images, PDFs and videos through an API, no-code tools or AI agents. It adds an AI Template Generator and an MCP connection for assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT.
What to know first
Templated is closer to a design automation tool than to a contract engine. Templates are layered canvases, and the same credits pay for images at one credit each, PDFs at one per page and videos by pixel count and length. Plans start at $39 a month, with a 50-credit trial. Its privacy policy names four AI model providers and says data is stored mainly in the United States.

Who Templated is best for
Marketing teams producing variants
One design can generate hundreds of banners, social posts or ad creatives by swapping text and images from a spreadsheet, using n8n, Make, Zapier or Airtable.
Product teams wanting AI-built templates
The AI Template Generator, from Starter upward, builds editable layers from a description or a reference image, and Canva designs can be imported.
SaaS companies embedding an editor
Scale adds a white-label embedded editor and delivery to your own S3 or R2 bucket, and agents can be limited to one customer's templates.
Teams using AI assistants for design work
The site lists Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor and Claude Code as MCP clients that sign in with a Templated account, so no API key is needed.

What Templated does
- AI Template Generator
- Describe a design or upload a reference image and the generator builds a template with editable layers. It is included from the Starter tier, and screenshots can be rebuilt as templates.
- Credit model by output
- Images cost one credit, PDFs one credit per page and videos depend on width, height, frame rate and duration, for example 13 credits for a 1080p, 30 frames per second, 10-second clip.
- MCP and agent access
- Agents sign in with the account, create templates and render files, using the same credits as API renders. Businesses can give each customer an agent limited to that customer's templates.
- Integrations and webhooks
- n8n, Make, Zapier and Airtable are listed at Starter and up, and webhooks from Google Forms, Tally and Typeform can trigger renders when a new submission arrives.
- Canva import
- Designs can be imported from Canva, and a REST endpoint accepts JSON to modify text, colors and images, with output as JPG, PNG, WebP, MP4 or PDF.
How Templated handles your data
Templated is operated by Fields Apps LTDA of Brazil. Its privacy policy says AWS and Cloudflare handle servers and file storage, that infrastructure providers store data primarily in the United States, and that you can use your own S3 or R2 bucket. Prompts and images submitted to AI features go to Google (Gemini), OpenAI, Anthropic and DeepSeek, and background removal goes to Photoroom. Deleted files are removed within 90 days and server logs are kept up to 90 days. The policy does not say whether prompts train models.
Where Templated falls short in practice
- Primary storage in the United States. The policy says providers store data primarily in the US, which weakens the fit for EU personal data such as contracts or HR letters. Your own S3 or R2 bucket can move rendered files, not processing.
- Several AI providers see prompts. Four model providers receive prompts and images from AI features. A buyer with a vendor-approval list needs to check each of them, and the policy gives no training statement.
- PDFs cost per page. Because a PDF uses one credit per page, a 20-page report takes 20 credits. On Starter's 1,000 credits that is only 50 such reports a month.

Alternatives to Templated
Templated: common questions
How many credits does one PDF use at Templated?
A PDF costs one credit per page, an image costs one credit and a video depends on its dimensions, frame rate and length. A 10-page PDF therefore takes 10 credits, which is 1 percent of the Starter plan's 1,000 monthly credits.
Does Templated have a free plan?
No permanent free plan is listed. New users get a free trial with 50 credits and no credit card, and every paid tier starts at Starter, $39 a month or $29 billed annually. Annual billing lowers each tier by roughly $10 to $50 a month.
Which AI providers receive my prompts?
The privacy policy names Google (Gemini), OpenAI, Anthropic and DeepSeek for prompts and images submitted to AI features, and Photoroom for background removal. It says they receive request content only, not account details, and it states no training position. Ask Templated and each provider whether prompts are used for training, since the policy is silent.
Can I use my own storage for rendered files?
Yes. Scale and above deliver renders to your own S3 or R2 bucket, according to the pricing page, and the privacy policy confirms that you can configure your own bucket for rendered files. Rendered files you configure this way no longer sit in Templated's default storage.
Can Claude or ChatGPT create templates for me?
Yes. The site lists MCP access for Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor and Claude Code, signed in with a Templated account without API keys. Agents can create templates and render files, using the same credits as API calls. Businesses can also give each customer an agent limited to that customer's templates.
