AI credits measure the resources you use when creating content with our platform. Each activity, such as creating video clips, AI Auto Crop, generating images, extracting thumbnails, or processing words, consumes a certain number of credits.

Here's a detailed breakdown of how credits are allocated for various tasks.

*Note: The AI Auto Crop video clips feature is more resource-intensive, and Alphana incurs additional costs to provide this advanced functionality. As a result, the cost is 6 credits per minute, compared to 3 credits for a standard video clip download.

We calculate credits based on the total length of the input and output. For example, if you provide a long video transcript and ask for a short summary, credits are based on the long input and short output. If you add a short video transcript and ask AI to generate 20 pieces of content cards, credits depend on the short input and long output. When both input and output are long, their combined length determines the total credits used.

When you upload a video for transcription, the length of the video determines the number of words and tokens generated. This also affects the number of AI credits used. Here’s an example breakdown (actual credit usage may vary):

With 1500 credits, you can create a variety of content. For example, you could generate:

Your usage may vary depending on your needs. Some users might prioritize video content over text, while others may focus more on text generation. For example, if you need 200 video clips, you might use fewer thumbnails and generate less text content.

AI credits are tracked in real-time for each activity. If you try to generate content and have enough credits to start, the process will proceed even if the total credits needed exceed your balance. This may result in a negative balance. When you upgrade your plan or purchase more credits, the negative balance will be deducted first, and any remaining credits will be added to your account. Otherwise, your credits will reset monthly on your purchase date.

For activities such as transcription, credits are rounded up to the nearest minute. For example, a transcript that is 31 minutes and 30 seconds long will be charged as 32 minutes, consuming 16 credits (0.5 credits per minute).

When a user shares a public link to their video project, non-logged-in users who access the published page may duplicate or download content. In these cases, credits will be deducted from the account of the content owner. Non-logged-in users will be prompted to log in, while only the content owner will be asked to upgrade if their credits are fully consumed.

Here are some example scenarios of how you might use your credits on Alphana, along with the average number of words and credits they typically use:

As we introduce new features, we may update the credit system to include these additional functionalities.

If you run out of AI credits, the only way to get more at the moment is by upgrading your plan. We’re planning to add an option to purchase additional AI credits directly through our platform later this year, and we’re still working out the details. In the meantime, remember that your AI credits renew every 30 days from the date you purchased Alphana.

If you run out of AI credits and can’t wait until the renewal period, please reach out to us through the support chat, and we’ll do our best to help you.

Your AI credits renew every 30 days from the date you purchased Alphana. This means you’ll have a fresh set of AI credits available each month on your renewal date.

AI credits do not roll over. Instead, they reset every 30 days from your purchase date. This means that any unused AI credits will be cleared at the end of your billing cycle, and you’ll start each month with a fresh set of AI credits.

Using AI Auto Crop to reframe video clips costs 6 AI credits per minute downloaded.

Unlike standard video downloads, AI Auto Crop uses AI to intelligently reposition and optimize video content, which incurs 6 credits per minute instead of the usual 3 credits.
