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.
