Questions about pricing
What is a credit?
The unit that pays for AI design: generations, edits, chat messages. You see the price before every generation (from 950 credits for one part to 5,200 for a large assembly) and you only pay for what's actually produced.
1 credit is worth $0.01 at the Creator rate, less on Pro and Studio. You get 2,000 free credits when you sign up, enough to design a first object of 2 to 4 parts. Printing, on the other hand, is paid in US dollars.
Link to this answer →Do chat messages cost credits?
Yes, every message uses credits: 150 credits are held when you send it, then we charge the cost actually measured, between 5 and 150 (usually ≈ 20–60). The rest comes straight back, and a turn that fails is refunded in full.
The estimated cost of your next message is shown under the input field.
Link to this answer →Why are some credits “held”?
When a generation starts, the quoted amount is held so your balance isn't spent elsewhere during the minutes of computing. It's charged step by step, and whatever wasn't used comes back at the end.
Link to this answer →Do my credits expire?
No: they roll over from month to month and don't expire as long as your account exists, even after you cancel. They have no cash value and can't be refunded in money, except when you withdraw within 14 days of a purchase.
Link to this answer →Can I pay for printing with my credits?
No. Credits pay for AI design. A physical object is paid in US dollars, with the VAT that applies to goods, at the price shown before you order.
Link to this answer →Changing or cancelling your plan
An upgrade is immediate and prorated. A downgrade or a cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period. You manage everything from Billing.
Link to this answer →How does the yearly plan work?
You pay for 10 months and get 12 months of credits at once — 2 months free (−17%).
Link to this answer →What happens if I cancel?
Your plan stays active until the end of the paid period. After that, you keep your remaining credits, but what you can spend them on follows the limits of the free tier (objects of 4 parts at most, one generation at a time).
Link to this answer →Invoices and VAT
Prices include VAT (20% French VAT). Every payment comes with an invoice you can download from Billing; businesses can enter their EU VAT number at checkout.
