Credits
What credits pay for, how to buy them, and how to top up automatically.
Credits pay for video generation in Studio. Nothing else in FounderHQ uses them. 100 credits are worth $1.
Settings → SubscriptionWhere credits come from
| Source | When they expire |
|---|---|
| Your plan's monthly credits | At the end of each billing period. Unused ones do not carry over. |
| Credits you buy | One year after the purchase |
During a free trial, the plan's credits are locked. They unlock when the trial becomes a paid subscription.
Read your balance
Available balance shows your credits and their value in dollars. Below it you see when the next credits expire and how many are reserved by videos still generating. If a generation fails, its reserved credits come back.
Your balance is also at the bottom of the Studio sidebar.
Buy credits
Owners and admins can buy credits.
- Under Buy credits, move the slider to an amount from $10 to $500.
- Press Pay now.
Larger purchases include bonus credits:
| You pay | Bonus |
|---|---|
| $50 or more | 5% |
| $100 or more | 10% |
| $250 or more | 15% |
| $500 | 20% |
Tick Enable seamless checkout for future purchases to save your payment method. Later purchases then take one click, and auto-reload becomes available.
Top up automatically
Auto-reload buys credits for you when your balance runs low. It needs a saved payment method.
- Set Reload when below to a number of credits.
- Set Reload amount in dollars.
- Press Enable auto-reload.
After 3 failed charges in a row, auto-reload pauses. Fix the payment method, then press Resume.
Cap your spending
Monthly budget limits what can be charged for credits in a calendar month. Auto-reload stops at the cap. A manual purchase over the cap asks you to confirm.
