Plans & credits
Every plan includes the whole studio. Plans differ in how many credits arrive each month and what a top-up costs. One credit is one cent, and the estimate is shown before you run.
The plans
| Plan | Monthly | Credits / month | Project storage | Top-ups |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $29 | 2,000 | 25 GB | $12 / 1,000 |
| Creator | $79 | 6,500 | 100 GB | $11 / 1,000 |
| Studio | $199 | 18,000 | 300 GB | $10 / 1,000 |
There is no free plan. Creating an account is free and needs no card — you can make a project, import pages, use the editors and read everything — but any step that runs a model needs a plan. See Pricing.
What a credit buys
Three kinds of step, three kinds of cost:
- GPU steps — 6 credits per GPU minute
- Split into Panels, Find Speech Bubbles, Clean Up Panels, Apply Anime Style, Fit to Frame, Generative Fill, Try a Style, Generate Video, Generate Voice-over, Generate SFX, Clean Sound, Upscale Video. The studio rents a card for your job and bills the minutes from rent to release, on any card. The card is chosen cheapest-first; you pay the same rate whichever it is, and a faster card simply costs fewer minutes.
- Planning passes — a few credits, no GPU
- Understand Pages, Plan Art and Plan Story: 2 credits per page or panel read. Write Script, Plan Video: 10 credits per run. The assistant's chat and proposals cost the same way.
- Free
- Importing, Plan Sound, the canvas tools (Select, Paint, Crop, Clone), all four editors, the cut, the mixdown, the render, exports.
Typical costs
From the studio's reference chapter — 87 panels into 81 shots, about twelve minutes of film:
| Step | Measured | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Split into Panels · Find Speech Bubbles | seconds a page | ≈ 1–2 per page |
| Clean Up Panels · Apply Anime Style · Fit to Frame | 25–30 s a panel | ≈ 3 per panel, each |
| Generative Fill | 1–5 min a repair | ≈ 6–30 per repair |
| Generate Video | ≈ 3 min a shot | ≈ 20 per shot |
| Generate Voice-over | seconds a line | ≈ 15 per film |
| Generate SFX · Clean Sound | per clip | ≈ 1–3 per clip |
| Whole chapter, end to end | ≈ 2,900 |
Most of a chapter is Generate Video, which is why the studio asks you to try three shots before running eighty.
Warm and cold
The first GPU step after a pause includes the minutes the card takes to start. A card stays warm for a few minutes after a job finishes, so the next step in the same stage does not pay to start again. Running a stage's steps back to back is cheaper than running one a day.
Failed runs
You are not charged for a step that fails. Credits for a failed run are returned automatically, and the failure message says what went wrong and what the job did not do.
Monthly credits and top-ups
Plan credits arrive on your billing day and reset to the monthly allowance — they do not roll over. Credits you buy on top are used only after the month's allowance is gone, and they never expire. Top-ups are sold in 1,000-credit steps and are available on any paid plan.
One job at a time
One GPU job runs at a time per account. Anything else you start waits in order and begins automatically when the card is free. Planning passes and the editors are not affected.
Changing or cancelling
Upgrades apply immediately. Downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of the period you already paid for; your projects stay where they are, and a cancelled account can still open, edit and export them.
Teams and volume
A channel running many chapters a month, or a team that needs invoicing and a shared allowance, should write to us before choosing Studio. It is a conversation, not a checkout.
