How AI Image Credits Work (and How to Save Them)

Most AI generators meter usage in credits rather than charging per second of compute. Understanding how they work helps you pick the right plan and avoid running out mid-project.

What a credit is

A credit is a simple unit for one unit of generation. On FavMe, an image costs 1 credit, a 6-second video costs 12, and a 10-second video costs 20. Your plan includes a monthly allowance, and you can buy top-up packs if you need more.

Why credits beat per-render pricing

Per-render or per-second pricing makes costs unpredictable. Credits are fixed and visible before you generate, so you always know what a job will cost.

How to make credits last

FavMe plans start at $19.99/month and unlock all 9 tools on one shared credit pool, so you can move between images and video without juggling separate subscriptions.
