# Credits & Plans

> What generations cost, what each plan includes, and how billing works

Pixio bills with **credits**. Every generation costs credits; your **plan** decides how many you get each month and which models you can reach.

## How credits work

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card icon="coins" title="Cost per run">
    Each model has its own price. It's shown in the model list and again before you submit, so you always know the cost up front.
  </Card>

  <Card icon="circle-check" title="Failed runs are free">
    If a generation fails, you aren't charged. You only pay for output you actually get.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

What drives the cost:

* **Output type** — images are cheap, video is expensive, 3D and audio sit in between
* **Duration** — video and audio models are often billed per second
* **Resolution and quality** — higher settings cost more on most models
* **Model tier** — a fast draft model and a flagship model differ by a lot

<Tip>
  Iterate on cheap image models, then chain the result you like into an expensive video model. See [chained actions](/generate#chained-actions) — it's the single biggest credit saver in Pixio.
</Tip>

## Free credits

Every new account gets **50 credits that never expire**, with access to all major models. No card required to start.

## Plans

| Plan | Monthly | Yearly | Credits | Notable |
| - | - | - | - | - |
| **Free** | \$0 | \$0 | 50, never expire | Access to all major models |
| **Starter** | \$15.99 | \$159.99 | 2,000 / month | All models · bespoke prompt optimizer |
| **Pro** | \$29.99 | \$299.99 | 3,500 / month | Everything in Starter |
| **Premium** | \$59.99 | \$599.99 | 7,500 / month | **LoRA training** · beta features |
| **Maker Mode** | \$199.99 | \$1,999.99 | 15,000 | **Unlimited generations** · unlimited LoRAs |

Yearly billing works out to roughly ten months for twelve.

### Maker Mode

Maker Mode is the "stop counting" tier — **unlimited generations** on a wide set of models plus **unlimited LoRAs**. Instead of drawing down a balance on every run, eligible models are covered by the plan.

<Info>
  Unlimited applies to the models included in Maker Mode, not literally every model in the catalog. The app shows which models are covered.
</Info>

### LoRA training

Training your own custom models requires **Premium** or above. Maker Mode removes the cap on how many you can have. See Model Training in the app.

## Credit packs

One-time packs add **permanent credits** that don't expire with your billing cycle:

| Pack | Price |
| - | - |
| 400 credits | \$5 |
| 1,000 credits | \$10 |
| 2,300 credits | \$20 |
| 5,000 credits | \$40 |
| 12,500 credits | \$100 |

Useful for a busy month without changing your subscription. Packs stack on top of your monthly allowance.

## Running out

When your balance won't cover a run, Pixio tells you **before** starting it — nothing gets queued and nothing is charged. From there you can upgrade your plan or buy a credit pack on the **Billing** page.

## Billing page

Open **Billing** from your profile menu to see your plan, your current balance, and your payment details, and to change plans or cancel.

## Personal vs team

| | Credits | Assets |
| - | - | - |
| **Personal account** | Your own balance | Private to you |
| **Team account** | One shared pool for the whole team | Shared with every member |

A team account bills separately from your personal account. Team billing is usually managed by an admin — see [Teams & Account](/billing/account).

<Info>
  Prices and credit allowances here reflect the current plans. The Billing page in the app is always authoritative for your account.
