Subscription or Credit Packs?
A 30-second decision helper. Credits work the same either way — pick the option that matches how often you publish.
You publish regularly
Planning one or more books a month? A subscription gives you the lowest cost per credit, credits every month, and you can cancel anytime.
- Best value per credit — ideal for active publishers
- Fresh credits every month, unused credits roll over
- Cancel anytime — keep the credits you already have
Recommended: Creator plan
You publish occasionally
Working on one book, or publishing a few times a year? Buy a one-time credit pack — no recurring charge, and credits never expire.
- Pay once — no subscription, no renewal
- Credits never expire — use them whenever you're ready
- Top up only when you need more
Recommended: One-time credit pack
Risk-free either way: start with 75 free credits (no card required), and if a generation fails, the credits are automatically refunded.

Credit Breakdown by Book Type
Here's exactly how credits are spent for each phase of book creation.
What can I make with my credits?
