Understanding Credits

What are credits and how they work on ImagineArt

Credits are how ImagineArt measures usage across Image, Video, and other tools.

Every generation uses credits based on what you run and how you run it.

What credits are (and what affects usage)

Credits are deducted when you generate or edit content.

Your cost depends on:

• The tool (Image, Video, etc.)

• The model you pick

• The settings (duration, quality, outputs, etc.)

• The number of results you generate (variants, reruns)

The “estimated generations” shown on plan pages is a baseline estimate. Pro and premium models can cost more credits per generation.

Types of credits

You can have up to three credit balances:

• Free credits (daily)

• Subscription credits (monthly allocation)

• Top-up credits (one-time purchases)

Free credits (daily)

All accounts receive 100 free credits per day.

Free credits are great for trying the platform.

Pro models (labeled “Pro”) require an active subscription.

If you upgraded and still can’t access Pro models, email [email protected].

Subscription credits (monthly)

Subscription credits refresh on a monthly cycle.

Unused subscription credits do not roll over.

Your renewal date depends on your purchase date.

You can always check it in Billing & Subscription.

For a detailed explanation of monthly assignment (including quarterly and yearly plans), see Credit Assignment and Usage Policy.

Top-up credits (one-time)

Top-up credits are additional credits you buy on top of your subscription.

Top-ups do not expire.

Top-ups are only available for purchase while you have an active subscription.

If your subscription ends, you can still spend top-ups on features available to your current plan (for example, Free plan limitations still apply).

Which credits get used first?

To help you use expiring credits before non-expiring ones, ImagineArt consumes credits in this order:

1. Free credits

2. Subscription credits

3. Top-up credits

How to check your credit balance

1. Click your profile picture (top-right).

2. Check Subscription Credits Left.

3. Open the credits modal for details and top-up options.

Choosing the right plan (simple estimation)

If you want a plan that fits your work, estimate credits like this:

monthly credits = (images per month × image cost) + (videos per month × video cost) + buffer

Add a 20–30% buffer if you expect:

• more iterations and variants

• switching between models

• higher-quality settings

Example estimate (images + videos)

Assume you generate:

• 30 images/day using a model that costs 24 credits/image

• 10 videos/day using a model that costs 210 credits/video

• You work 22 days/month

Images:

• 30 × 22 = 660 images/month

• 660 × 24 = 15,840 credits/month

Videos:

• 10 × 22 = 220 videos/month

• 220 × 210 = 46,200 credits/month

Total:

• 15,840 + 46,200 = 62,040 credits/month

Then add your buffer (recommended).

What happens if you run out of credits?

You have three options:

1. Wait for your next monthly refresh (subscription credits).

2. Buy a top-up (if you have an active subscription).

3. Upgrade your plan (if you routinely run out).

Buying top-ups (additional credits)

In the app, top-ups may appear as Tokens.

1. Click Buy Tokens (top-right).

2. Select a bundle.

3. Complete payment.

Credit costs by studio (always up to date)
