How credits work
- You buy a credit pack in Billing and spend credits per image or per video.
- Every tool shows "credits per image/video" and the total before you start.
- Batch jobs simply multiply by the number of images/videos in the run.
- Flows (combined steps) consume the same total credits as doing the steps separately — they just save clicks and time.
Credit packs (one-time purchases)
- Starter — 100 credits for $9.99 (≈$0.099/credit)
- Creator — 1,100 credits for $99 (includes +100 bonus credits, ≈$0.090/credit)
- Influencer — 5,850 credits for $499 (includes +850 bonus credits, ≈$0.085/credit)
- Professional — 12,500 credits for $999 (includes +2,500 bonus credits, ≈$0.080/credit)
Taxes may apply. Prices/bonuses can change — the in-app Billing screen is the source of truth.

Tips to save credits
- Curate before upscale. Generate more, upscale less.
- When identity matters, prefer Safe Face modes or the Upscale + Face Swap flow so you don't redo work.
- Use 4MP for everyday social posts; jump to 8MP for crops, covers, or prints.
- For multi-image campaigns, flows reduce clicks and errors across large batches.
FAQ
Do LoRAs change the price? No — LoRAs don't change the per-image credit cost in Prompt/Ref tools.
Are video credits per image or per clip? Per video clip (5s or 10s) as listed above.
Do flows discount credits? No — they bundle the same steps at the same total cost, but they're faster and easier to run at scale.
Where can I see the exact total before I pay credits? On the Start button for every tool — it shows per-item cost and the total for your batch.
