AyeCreate Credits Explained: Pay Only for What You Use

Most AI platforms charge monthly subscriptions whether you use them or not. AyeCreate takes a different approach with a credit-based system where you pay for what you actually generate. No wasted money during slow weeks, no artificial generation limits during busy ones.

Here's how it works and why it's a better deal for most creators.

How Credits Work

Credits are AyeCreate's universal currency. Every generation — image, video, upscale, edit — costs a specific number of credits. You buy credits in advance and spend them across any model or tool on the platform.

The key benefit is flexibility. Your credits work with every model — Flux, GPT Image, Sora, Kling, and everything else. You don't need separate subscriptions or budgets for each model. One credit balance, maximum flexibility.

What Do Generations Cost?

Credit costs vary by model and output type, reflecting the actual computational costs of each model:

• Standard image generation: varies by model and resolution
• Video generation: higher cost reflecting the computational intensity
• Image upscaling: modest cost for high-resolution output
• Background removal and editing: minimal credit cost
• StylePack generations: includes the base model cost plus the creator's fee

Subscriptions vs One-Time Purchase

AyeCreate offers both options. You can purchase credit packs as one-time buys — great for occasional users or testing. Subscription plans offer credits at a better per-credit rate for consistent users.

The subscription advantage is simple: better per-credit pricing. The one-time purchase advantage is zero commitment. Choose based on your usage pattern — both give you the same access to every model and feature.

How It Compares to Midjourney and DALL-E

Let's be direct about the pricing comparison:

• Midjourney: $10-60/month subscription, limited to one model, no video, no editing
• DALL-E: $20/month (ChatGPT Plus), limited to one model, no video, limited editing
• AyeCreate: Pay-per-use credits across ALL models — images, video, editing, StylePacks

The Real Cost Advantage

The real savings come from not paying for multiple subscriptions. If you want Midjourney for images, Sora for video, and a separate editing tool, you're looking at $50-100/month across platforms. AyeCreate combines all of that into one credit balance.

For light users, the advantage is even clearer. If you only generate 20 images some months and 200 others, a flat subscription wastes money during slow periods. Pay-per-use means your costs scale with your actual usage.

Credits for StylePack Creators

If you're a StylePack creator, the credit system works in your favor too. When users generate images with your StylePack, credits are spent — and you earn 25% of those credits as revenue. The more popular your StylePack, the more you earn. It's a genuine passive income stream built directly into the credit economy.
