Credits are the currency for AI generation in Pleyor. Every model call — image, video, text, audio — consumes credits. Credits abstract away the differing per-model costs so you have one number to track.

​
Where credits come from

You get credits two ways:
  • Subscription credits arrive with your plan and refresh at the start of each billing cycle. Any unused subscription credits don’t carry over — they reset.
  • Purchased credits come from one-time top-ups. They never expire.
When a run spends credits, subscription credits are used first and purchased credits second. That way your resettable balance is spent before the credits you bought, which stick around. Billing is tied to your organization, so everyone in your workspace shares the same credit balance.

​
Estimated cost per node

Each generation node shows an estimated credit cost in its config panel. The estimate updates live as you change the model and its settings, so you can see what a node will cost before you run anything. This lets you compare models and dial in settings against your budget up front.

​
Reserve, then settle

When a node runs, credits flow through three steps:
1

Reserve

Before the model is called, the node’s estimated cost is held from your available balance. This prevents starting work you can’t pay for.
2

Settle

When the call finishes, the actual cost is deducted and the reservation is cleared. The final cost can differ from the estimate for models whose price depends on the output.
3

Release

If the call fails, the reservation is returned to your balance — you aren’t charged for work that didn’t produce a result.
Your available balance is your subscription and purchased credits combined, minus anything currently reserved by in-flight runs.

​
Tracking usage

You can see your current balance and a history of credit transactions in the billing area. Each run reports the credits it consumed, so you can spot which agents are expensive and where to optimize.
If your balance runs low, Pleyor notifies you, and a run that can’t reserve enough credits prompts you to top up or upgrade before it starts.

​
Plans

Plans differ in how many credits you get each month along with workspace, member, and agent limits. You can upgrade, downgrade, or buy a one-time top-up at any time from the billing area. Yearly billing is available at a discount over monthly.
