Choose how you pay

Credits are your creative currency. Buy them as you go, or subscribe for a monthly allowance at a lower price per credit.

The top bar of the app with the credit balance button highlighted. — *In the app.* Your balance is always in the top bar. Click it to open Usage.

Plan	Price	Credits	Price per credit
Pay As You Go	$10 to start	10 credits, buy more anytime	$1.00
Creator	$59.99 a month	150 credits a month	$0.40
Agency	$149.99 a month	450 credits a month, shared with your team	$0.33

Pay As You Go has no subscription and no monthly commitment. Purchased credits never expire, and it includes one character slot.
Creator suits creators who make content every week, and includes more character slots.
Agency adds team seats, so your team can work in your account.

The Usage page in the account area: total credits available, and the Purchase credits button. — *In the app.* Under **Usage** in your account: your credits (1) and **Purchase credits** (2).

Credits that come with a monthly plan end when the subscription ends. Credits you buy separately never expire. See the billing guide for how to buy, change or cancel.

What things cost

Pricing scales with the quality and length you choose. You always see the price before anything is made.

The Create bar with a prompt typed and the Generate button highlighted, showing a price of 1 credit. — *In the app.* The price is on the **Generate** button before anything is made.

1K resolution	1 credit
2K resolution	1.5 credits
4K resolution	2 credits

Videos

Video	Cost
Video at 480p	1 credit per second
Video at 720p	2 credits per second

Voice

Voice	Cost
Save a custom voice for your character	5 credits
Voice notes and other speech	0.01 credits per second of audio (0.05 credits minimum)

A 15-second voice note costs about 0.15 credits, so it's easy to experiment.

Setting up your character

Your character's photos are a one-time investment in your most useful digital asset: a consistent version of you that you can use again and again.

Photos	Cost	What you need
Face	1 credit per photo	1 clear face photo
Body	1 credit per photo	1 or 2 body photos (front, and back if you have one)

Your complete character	Credits
Face (1 photo)	1 credit
Body (front and back)	2 credits
Total	3 credits
Custom voice (optional)	5 credits

With this one-time setup you can make photos, videos and voice content of your character for as long as you like. See how to choose your photos.

Your voice sample: the key to natural audio

Audio requirements

Up to 30 seconds of audio, and 5 to 15 seconds works best.
A file of up to 4 MB.
A clear, high-quality recording.
As little background noise as possible.

Best practices

Speak naturally, as if in conversation.
Don't read it like a script or a book.
Use your normal speaking voice.
Keep the tone close to how you talk every day.

Now you know how credits work, put them to use. Create your character
