Credits and pricing
How credits work across Seedance, Kling, image models, and video jobs
Understand shared credits, subscription credits, credit packs, higher-cost generations, and failed-generation credit returns.
Credits are the shared balance for video and image generation. The estimate appears before submission and can change by model, quality, duration, audio, and reference count.
Quick decision
Best for
- Users comparing plans, credit packs, higher-cost generations, and failed-task credit returns before paying.
- Teams that need predictable credit planning across video, image, reference, and upscale work.
Not ideal for
- Users who expect every model, resolution, duration, and reference count to cost the same.
- Workflows that cannot tolerate provider-cost-based estimates.
Choose this when
- You need to understand why a Seedance draft, Kling video, 1080p video, audio task, or image model can use different credits.
One shared balance
Subscriptions and credit packs use the same credit balance. A creator can use credits for Seedance-style video, Kling video, image models, upscales, references, and overflow work.
Why some generations cost more
1080p video, audio-enabled video, image-guided video, and premium models can cost more than a fast draft. The workspace shows the estimate before the job starts.
Credits for failed generations
If generation fails before a usable output is delivered, reserved credits are returned automatically.
Key takeaways
How are credits calculated?+
Credits are estimated from the selected model, duration, quality, audio, and reference count. The estimate appears before generation.
Do higher plans make credits cheaper?+
Higher-value subscriptions and credit packs can include bonus credits, so the effective cost per credit is lower than the entry plan.
What happens if generation fails?+
Failed jobs are designed to return credits automatically, so users do not pay for a task that never produces a usable result.
7 free credits every day plus one 4s 480p video — failed generations refund automatically.
