Credits & billing
What uses credits, what things cost, and what happens if a generation doesn't work out.
What uses credits
Portraits, full body images, panel art, scene plans, Fill in the rest, Help me write this, Story Importer text work, and similar generation or AI-writing actions. Studio, the editor, and uploads are free.
Every attempt spends credits, including ones that don't turn out — there are no refunds for a result you don't like. Contact support@charid.app and we'll figure it out.

Story Importer
Story Importer is a $20/mo add-on on any subscription. It includes 1 import each month; unused imports do not roll over. Extra imports are $20 each. The add-on covers the full text pipeline (extraction, character synthesis, wardrobe/settings/props, production plan). All image generation still charges credits.
