Each text character generated consumes credits, with the exact cost depending on the model used. All products draw from one shared monthly credit pool.

When do credits reset and do unused credits roll over?

Credits reset at the start of each billing cycle, which begins on the day you subscribed. Unused paid-plan credits roll over for up to two months, up to 2× your monthly quota, so the balance can reach at most 3× your monthly quota. Rollover does not apply to the Free plan.

Do you offer annual billing, and what does it cost?

Yes. Annual billing works out to two months free — you pay for 10 months. The equivalent monthly price on an annual plan is $5 for Starter, $18.33 for Creator, $82.50 for Pro, $249.17 for Scale, and $825 for Business.

Is there a limit on how many credits I can use in a single request?

Yes. The maximum number of credits in a single generation request depends on whether you are on the Free tier or a paid subscription.

What happens if I upgrade, downgrade, or cancel?

Upgrading carries unused credits from the previous plan into the next billing cycle. Downgrading or cancelling leaves the subscription active until the end of the current billing cycle; afterward, the account is downgraded to the Free plan and unused paid credits expire.

How do I check remaining credits?

Log into the platform and navigate to your subscription page from your profile menu.

What payment methods are accepted?

Credit Card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Subscriptions are billed on a monthly or yearly basis starting from the day you subscribe.
