How credits workQuestions
Review one quote for your plan, first chapters or drawings, and included cover work before you start. These credits are reserved together; unused scope is returned once you confirm the plan.
Quotes reflect your book’s length, artwork and references. Additional images, new versions and AI revisions have their own quotes. Reading, manual edits and eligible downloads don’t use credits.
Unused, unreserved monthly credits expire each billing period. Reserved initial work stays with its book.
Need more? Buy 300 credits for $10 per pack. Purchased credits don’t expire, even after membership ends. No automatic top-ups.
You can manage billing and cancel from Usage & membership. Cancellation stops the next renewal. Your saved books remain available to read, edit manually, and download when ready.
