Understand credits
What credits are, what spends them, and where to see your balance and buy more.
Credits pay for the AI work and renders in your channel. They belong to the channel, not to you, so everyone on the team spends from the same balance.
Before you start
You need a channel with a plan. See Create a channel.
Step 1 of 5
What spends credits
These spend credits:
- AI image and video generation
- Voice, sound effects and music
- Renders
- Agent runs
- Descriptions of your uploads
Your plan gives your channel a monthly allotment of credits. The allotment resets each billing cycle.
Step 2 of 5
See your balance
Open your channel and press Channel Settings. Open the Billing tab. The Overview shows your subscription, your credit balance and your credit history.
In the render view, the Credits panel shows your available credits and the estimated cost of a render before you start it.
Step 3 of 5
Buy more credits
On the Billing tab, open Plans and find Credit Packs. It shows only while your subscription is active. Buy a pack any time; its credits never expire while the subscription lasts.
Step 4 of 5
Change your plan
On the Billing tab, open Plans. Under Change Plan, pick Monthly or Annual and choose a plan. Only the channel owner can change it. To stop, press Cancel Subscription on the Overview.
