💎 Plans

Shaft itself is free, open source and ad-free forever, with every feature unlocked — including AI upscaling, cut-out, manga translation and ugoira interpolation. The one thing with a quota is "sort any keyword by popularity", because it uses shared search resources. Subscribing only multiplies that quota; it never unlocks exclusive features.

Already a pixiv Premium member? Popularity sort goes straight through the official API — unlimited, no subscription needed. The in-app Usage page shows remaining quota and lets you order directly; orders placed on Afdian can be claimed with "Restore purchase". Prices and details: pixshaft.com · afdian.com/a/pixshaft.
