Understanding Credits & Pricing

Understanding Credits & Pricing

Learn how Promptha's credit system works and make the most of every credit.

How Credits Work

Credits are Promptha's universal currency for AI operations. Different operations cost different amounts based on:

  • Model complexity - Advanced models cost more
  • Input size - Longer inputs = more credits
  • Output type - Images and video cost more than text

Optimizing Credit Usage

1. Choose the Right Model

Not every task needs the most powerful model. For simple tasks:

  • Use Gemini Flash or DeepSeek for basic text
  • Use FLUX Schnell for quick image drafts

2. Optimize Prompts

Shorter, focused prompts use fewer input credits. Be specific but concise.

3. Use Caching

Repeated operations with the same inputs use cached results (no credits).

4. Batch Wisely

Processing items in batches is more efficient than one at a time.
