Credits and Generation
Learn how credits work in SpAItial.
How Credits Work
SpAItial uses a shared credit balance for the web app and Developer API:
- 1 credit = $0.01
- Free users receive 800 credits each month, enough for about 5 Echo 2 - Standard generations
- Free and subscription credits expire at the end of their monthly credit period and do not roll over
- Purchased top-up credits roll over and do not expire
- Credits are spent from the soonest-expiring balance first
- Standard and Pro subscribers can purchase additional credits shared across app, web app, and API usage

When You Need More Credits
If your balance is too low to generate:
- Purchase 1,600, 3,200, or 8,000-credit packs from billing
- Upgrade to Standard, Pro, or Custom/Enterprise for monthly included credits
Top-up packs remain available across subscription periods and do not expire.
Tips for Managing Credits
- Plan your generations thoughtfully
- Review prompts before generating
- Use edits efficiently when available
- Keep enough purchased credits for API workloads that may run outside your normal app usage
