Buy Credits
Credits are StudioUI’s pay-as-you-go currency for hosted AI generation. Instead of a monthly subscription, you buy a one-time pack of prepaid credits and each generation — image, video, GIF, music track or chat message — deducts a published amount from your balance. $1 buys 1,000 credits, packs never auto-renew, and if a generation fails on our side the credits are refunded automatically.
What generations cost
| Generation | Credits | Approx. cost at $1 = 1,000 credits |
|---|---|---|
| Image — FLUX Turbo | 50 | ~5¢ |
| Image — Standard | 100 | ~10¢ |
| Animated GIF | 150 | ~15¢ |
| Music track | 250 | ~25¢ |
| Video clip | 450 | ~45¢ |
| Chat message | 5 | ~0.5¢ |
Exact per-model costs are always shown live on the generate button inside the studio, and current rates are listed on the pricing page. Prices are subject to change.
Credit packs
- 5,000 credits — $5. The starter pack: 1,000 credits per dollar.
- 22,000 credits — $20. Most popular, with a 10% bonus.
- 57,500 credits — $50. Best value, with a 15% bonus.
All packs are one-time purchases — no subscription, no expiry pressure of a billing cycle. The Free tier also includes a daily hosted-credit allowance (200 credits/day to start), so you can generate before buying anything.
Buying and managing credits
Credits are available to purchase in the StudioUI Shop. You will need an account to complete your purchase, and your balance is visible any time on the account page as well as inside the studio on your connected site. One balance can power multiple connected sites — top up once, spend across all of them.

Reselling credits to your members
If you run a membership or community site, credits are also your wholesale supply: buy packs at the rates above, set your own retail price per generation for your members, and keep the margin — StudioUI never takes a cut of your sales, which run through your own WooCommerce gateway. See selling AI credits on your website for the model, and the step-by-step setup guide.
Prefer no per-generation fees at all?
StudioUI Pro ($149/yr) lets you bring your own API keys or self-host your own backends — on your own keys and hardware there are no credit costs at all. Credits and Pro aren’t either/or: Pro includes everything in Free, and many sites run both side by side.
