How credits and pricing work
What credits cost, how jobs reserve and refund them, and how to top up.
The basics
- 1 credit = $0.01 (100 credits per dollar).
- Top up any amount from $10 to $500 — no subscription.
- Credits never expire.
- A video's cost depends on the model, duration, and whether audio is enabled. You always see the cost before generating.

- Gemini Omni Flash adds a small flat fee when you provide a starting image.
Reserve, charge, refund
- Reserved on start — when a job begins, its cost is held from your balance.
- Charged on success — the hold becomes a charge only when your video is delivered.
- Refunded on failure — failed or canceled jobs release the hold back to your balance automatically.
Buying credits and managing cards
Click your credit balance in the top bar (or open the Credits page) to buy a pack. Payments run through Stripe — pay with a hosted checkout, or save a card for one-click top-ups.
