# Plans, Billing, and AI Credits

> AdStellar uses one simple, volume-based plan: pick how many AI credits you want each month — every feature is included on every plan. This guide explains how billing works, the free trial, and how AI credits are calculated and used.

## Subscription Plans

[AdStellar](https://www.adstellar.ai) has one simple plan with **no feature tiers**. You just pick how many **AI credits** you want each month — every feature is included on every plan, with **unlimited team members and ad accounts**.

* **Flat rate:** $0.002 per credit ($1 = 500 credits).
* **Monthly billing.** Change your credit volume anytime.
* Manage everything from **Billing & Subscription** in the app.

### Choose your monthly credit volume

| Monthly price | Credits / month            |
| ------------- | -------------------------- |
| \$100         | 50,000                     |
| \$150         | 75,000                     |
| \$200         | 100,000                    |
| \$300         | 150,000                    |
| \$400         | 200,000                    |
| **\$500**     | **250,000 — Most Popular** |
| \$750         | 375,000                    |
| \$1,000       | 500,000                    |
| \$1,500       | 750,000                    |
| \$2,000       | 1,000,000                  |
| \$3,000       | 1,500,000                  |
| \$5,000       | 2,500,000                  |
| \$7,500       | 3,750,000                  |
| \$10,000      | 5,000,000                  |

<Note>
  **Every plan includes every feature** — AI Image Ads, AI Video Ads, UGC Avatars, Custom AI Avatars, Ad Clone, Competitor Ad Clone, Text to Video, AI Actor + Product, the AI Video Editor, Top Ads, AI Combos, and full AI Insights (all analytics groupings). Plans also include **unlimited** team members, ad accounts, launches, and campaign imports, plus hourly Meta data sync. The only thing that changes between plans is how many AI credits you get each month.
</Note>

### Changing your plan

Open your **workspace menu (top-left) → Billing & Subscription → Change Plan** and pick a new credit volume. Moving to a higher volume takes effect immediately (prorated); moving to a lower volume takes effect at the end of your current billing period.

***

## Free Trial

New accounts start with a **7-day free trial**:

* **$100 in free credits (50,000 credits)** to explore everything — **$0 due today**.
* Pick the plan you'll continue on; you won't be charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime.

<Tip>
  **Already know you'll love it?** When you start your plan you can **skip the trial and start now** to get a one-time **\$200 in bonus credits (100,000 credits) that never expire**, added on top of your monthly credits.
</Tip>

## AI Credits

### What Are AI Credits?

AI credits are the usage currency for AdStellar's AI-powered features. Credits are consumed when you generate images, videos, launch AI-built campaigns, or have the AI Agent do work for you.

* **Only AI-generated content uses credits.**
* **Manually created campaigns do not use credits.**

### AI Credit Costs

Every paid action shows its **exact credit cost before you run it** (the Canvas confirmation modal and the AI Agent both confirm the price first), so nothing is ever charged by surprise. The numbers below are the standard rates.

#### Image Generation

| Action                                        | Credits               |
| --------------------------------------------- | --------------------- |
| **Image generation** (Nano Banana 2, default) | 100 credits per image |
| **Image edit / resize**                       | 100 credits each      |

<Tip>
  Premium image models (Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 2, Imagen 4) and higher resolutions cost proportionally more for their sharper detail and text rendering. The Canvas modal always shows the exact cost for your selected model and settings before you generate.
</Tip>

#### Video Generation

Video cost is based on duration. These are the baseline (Kling) rates — premium models (Seedance, Sora, etc.) scale up for their higher quality, and the exact cost is always shown before you generate:

| Duration         | Credits |
| ---------------- | ------- |
| Up to 10 seconds | 2,800   |
| Up to 15 seconds | 4,200   |
| Up to 30 seconds | 8,400   |
| Up to 60 seconds | 16,800  |

<Note>
  **Talking videos over 10 seconds include lip-sync automatically.** Native lip-sync stays accurate for about the first 10 seconds, then drifts — so a **talking** clip longer than 10 seconds automatically runs a lip-sync pass, billed as one bundled price (e.g. a 15-second talking video is **7,400 credits** = 4,200 video + 3,200 lip-sync). A 10-second talking clip uses free native lip-sync, and non-talking clips (b-roll, product shots) are never charged the lip-sync pass regardless of length.
</Note>

#### Lip-Sync Render

For talking videos over 10 seconds this pass runs **automatically** and is bundled into the video price (see above). You can also run it manually to re-perfect lip-sync on an already-generated video, charged separately at these rates:

| Video Duration   | Credits |
| ---------------- | ------- |
| Up to 10 seconds | 2,200   |
| Up to 15 seconds | 3,200   |
| Up to 30 seconds | 6,400   |

#### Other AI Actions

| Action                              | Credits                |
| ----------------------------------- | ---------------------- |
| **AI Campaign Launch** (AI Builder) | 100 credits per launch |
| **Custom AI Avatar** (AI actor)     | 300 credits            |
| **UGC / Fan-cam template**          | 3,920 credits          |
| **Video captions**                  | 400 credits            |

#### AI Agent Chat

The AI Agent isn't a simple chatbot — it's an AI media buyer that analyzes your account, pulls live performance data, researches competitors, and plans campaigns for you. That work runs on the same AI models as everything else, so **AI Agent messages are metered in credits**, priced by how much work each turn actually does.

* **Glue turns are free.** Clarifying questions, tapping a suggested chip (like "\$50/day"), and short follow-ups that don't trigger any analysis or tools cost **0 credits**.
* **Working turns use credits**, up to a per-message maximum for the mode you're in:

| Mode              | Max credits per message |
| ----------------- | ----------------------- |
| **Quick**         | Up to 200               |
| **Standard**      | Up to 700               |
| **Deep research** | Up to 1,700             |

Credits are priced to be plentiful, so a typical message is a small fraction of your monthly balance. Any creative or launch you make from chat is confirmed at the standard generation rates above before it runs. Your balance lives on the **Billing & Subscription** page.

### Credit Expiration

<Note>
  * Monthly plan credits **expire 60 days** after they are granted. Use them before they expire.
  * **Bonus and referral credits never expire.** They remain in your account until used.
  * When you use AI features, your oldest expiring credits are consumed first, then your never-expiring bonus credits.
</Note>

### How Credits Are Granted

* Credits are granted on your billing anniversary each month.
* Each monthly grant expires 60 days after it is issued.
* Upgrading to a higher credit volume grants the new allocation immediately; your existing unexpired credits remain available.

### Viewing Your Credit Balance

To check your remaining credits, open your **workspace menu (top-left) → Billing & Subscription**. Your total balance, monthly plan credits, and never-expiring bonus credits are all shown there.

### What Happens When You Run Out of Credits?

When your balance is too low for an action, that AI feature pauses until you top up. To get more credits:

* **Move to a higher credit volume** — takes effect immediately (prorated) and grants the new allocation right away.
* **Wait for your next monthly grant** — credits refresh on your billing anniversary.

***

## Bonus & Referral Credits

**Bonus credits** are extra AI credits that **never expire**. You earn them two ways:

* **Start now (skip the trial):** a one-time **100,000 bonus credits (\$200)** when you start your paid plan immediately instead of running the 7-day trial.
* **Referrals:** when someone signs up with your referral link and starts a paid plan, you both earn bonus credits. See the [Referral Program](/settings/referral-program) for current rewards.

A few things to know about bonus credits:

* **They never expire** — unlike monthly plan credits (which expire 60 days after being granted), bonus credits stay in your account until you use them.
* **They're used second** — we use your oldest expiring plan credits first, then your bonus credits.

## Billing & AI Credit FAQs

#### Does talking to the AI Agent use credits?

Yes. The AI Agent is a working media buyer, not a basic chatbot — when it analyzes your account, pulls performance data, researches, or plans campaigns, that message uses credits, priced by the amount of work done (up to a per-message cap by mode: Quick up to 200, Standard up to 700, Deep research up to 1,700). Lightweight glue turns — clarifying questions, tapping a suggested chip, or short follow-ups that don't run any analysis — are free. Any paid action is confirmed before it runs, so there are never silent charges. Credits are priced to be plentiful, so a typical message is a tiny fraction of your monthly balance.

#### Do unused credits roll over?

Monthly plan credits expire 60 days after they are granted. Any credits not used within that window are forfeited. Bonus and referral credits never expire.

#### Can I buy credits without a subscription?

No. AI credits are only available to subscribers.

#### How many team members and ad accounts can I have?

Unlimited, on every plan. There are no per-seat or per-ad-account fees.

#### How do I get more credits?

Move to a higher monthly credit volume from your **workspace menu → Billing & Subscription → Change Plan** (immediate and prorated), or wait for your next monthly grant.

#### What counts as a credit?

Credits are consumed based on the AI feature used. See the [credit costs](#ai-credit-costs) above, and remember the exact cost is always shown before you run a paid action.

#### Are there hidden fees?

No. You only pay for your chosen monthly credit volume — every feature, plus unlimited seats and ad accounts, is included.
