Credit Refresh
- Credits refresh on your billing date each month
- Unused credits roll over (up to your plan’s limit)
- Rollover credits are used first
Example: Starter Plan
- Month 1: Use 150 of 200 credits → 50 roll over
- Month 2: Start with 200 + 50 = 250 credits
- Month 2: Use 100 credits → 100 roll over (capped from 150)
- Month 3: Start with 200 + 100 = 300 credits

Tips to Maximize Credits
Reuse Characters
Creating a character costs just 3 credits. After that, using them in stories costs nothing extra. Build your character library once, use forever.
Use Edits Instead of Regenerating
Edits cost only 1 credit vs 3 for a full regeneration. If your image is close but needs tweaks, use the edit feature instead.
Plan Before Generating
Each panel generation costs 3 credits. Refine your story concept before generating to avoid regenerating panels.
Check Your Balance
Your credit balance is shown in the dashboard header. Check before starting a new project.
When Credits Run Out
- You’ll see a warning when credits are low
- Operations fail gracefully when you have 0 credits
- No charges without your action—top-up or wait for refresh
