Credits
Credits are the units many AI tools use to price usage: each image, minute of video or long task uses up a number of credits.
In practice: A plan includes a monthly amount, and different actions cost different amounts. High-resolution images, longer videos and premium models use more. Unused credits often expire at the end of the month.
Why it matters when picking a tool
Credits make plans hard to compare. Work out what one credit buys for your real use, such as cost per finished video or per 100 images, and check whether credits roll over and what extra packs cost. Cheap plans often run out within days of heavy use.
