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
Credit Tiers
| Tier | Monthly Credits | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 100 | Trying out features |
| Starter | 1,000 | Individual creators |
| Pro | 5,000 | Power users |
| Team | 20,000 | Small teams |
| Business | 50,000 | Growing companies |
| Agency | Unlimited | Agencies & enterprises |

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.
