How AI credits work
Pro subscribers get every AI feature included — no API key required.
Included with Pro
Your Pro subscription includes 600 AI credits every month. Most AI work is priced by how much text it reads. Revise, line edit, expansion, proofread, and narration scale that way — a small selection costs 1–2 credits, a full scene typically runs 2–6. Dialogue analysis and style operations are 1–3 per run, and Lume, the in-app assistant, is 1 credit per message.
Always quoted first
The app shows you the exact credit figure before any run starts, and credits are only charged on successful completion. Nothing is spent without you seeing the number first.
Need more?
Credit packs are available if you need more than your monthly allowance. Or bring your own API key and use your preferred AI provider directly — no credits needed.
