How credits work

    What costs credits

    Action Cost
    Generate a creative (also a clone or a “Retry”) 10 credits
    Adapt a creative to another format 5 credits
    Have the editor's assistant edit the image 3 credits per approved request
    Animate a video, per block of 15 seconds: animated / realistic 260 / 284 credits
    Someone speaks to camera in the video 106 more credits per block
    Create a carousel 28 credits

    In FlowAI, for clones and for format variations, the cost is shown before you launch, along with what you'll have left. A video's storyboard is free: credits are only charged when you click “Animate” (see Create a video ad).

    What's free

    Analyzing your brand, adding products, browsing CreaSpy, following competitors, saving ads, chatting with Flow (within your message limit), editing and saving in the editor.

    See your balance

    The credit counter is at the bottom of the left-hand menu. Click it to open Settings › “Subscription & credits”: your balance, the number of creatives it still covers, and your renewal date.

    Refunds

    • A failed or cancelled creative: credits returned automatically.
    • A failed video, or a redone shot that fails: credits returned automatically.
    • A creative that came out wrong and that you report: credit returned if the report is approved (within 48 hours).

    Top up your credits

    If you're a subscriber and you run short of credits before the end of the month, you can buy more without changing plans. In Settings › “Subscription & credits”, click “Top up my credits” and choose a pack: the credits arrive right after payment.

    These top-up credits don't expire at renewal: they're added on top of your plan and stay as long as your subscription is active (your balance uses the plan's credits first, then the top-up). If your subscription ends, the ones left are kept for 30 days: subscribe again within that time to keep them. Their price goes down with your plan: 1,000 credits cost €9.99 on Starter, €8.49 on Growth and €6.99 on Creascale. Top-ups are for subscribers only: on a free account, you need to subscribe to a plan first.

    Renewal

    At each renewal, your plan's balance resets to its starting amount: unused plan credits don't carry over to the next month (top-up credits, on the other hand, stay). With an annual plan, your credits are refilled every month.

    To compare plans, read Plans and pricing.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do my unused credits roll over to the next month?

    Your plan's credits reset to their starting amount at each renewal. Only credits bought as a top-up don't expire: they stay as long as your subscription is active, then 30 days after it ends.
