Overview

Credits are what you spend to draw with AI on GenToon. They’re used at the moment a picture is drawn. Planning a scenario with the agent and downloading your comics don’t use any credits. But if, during the chat, the agent draws a new character your story needs or redraws your characters in a newly chosen art style, that’s drawing too, so it uses credits. In the GenToon app, these can be drawn right away without asking.

What costs credits

What you do	Credits
Draw one image — Standard mode	13
Draw one image — Pro mode	25
Create a community cover with AI	13
Call a character with @ in a comment and get a reply	1
Plan a scenario by chatting with the agent	Free (drawing a new character, or redrawing your character in a new art style, during the chat costs 13 per character)
Download · publish to the community	Free

An image costs the same even when it holds several panels.

Other features, such as drawing character images or chatting one-on-one with a character, can also use credits. What you spend is listed in your credit history. For the difference between Standard and Pro mode, see Choose Standard or Pro.

Types of credits

Type	Where it comes from	Resets monthly?
Plan Credits	Included with your plan and refilled every month, even on a yearly plan — the free plan gets them too	Yes — unused credits don’t carry over to the next month
Purchased Credits	Bought as credit packs, or earned from rewards and coupons	No
Gifted Credits	Sent to you as a gift by someone else	No

Plan credits are always used first, and gifted and purchased credits are used after they run out. That way, the credits that reset every month get used before the ones that don’t.

FAQ

When do my plan credits refill?

Plan credits refill every month on your refill date. On a monthly plan, that’s your billing date. To see the date, click the credit number at the bottom left of the Studio to open My Credits. On a yearly plan you pay once a year, but credits still refill every month.

Do unused plan credits roll over?

Unused plan credits don’t roll over. On your refill date, your plan credits are refilled to your plan’s monthly amount, and your purchased and gifted credits stay as they are.

My credits seem to have gone down on their own.

Where your credits went is listed in your credit history. If you own a team workspace, images your teammates draw in it also use your credits. Those charges appear in the history of the teammate who drew them, not in yours. If there’s still a charge you don’t recognize, contact us and tell us roughly when it happened.

What happens when I run out of credits?

With zero credits, you can’t use features that cost credits, such as drawing. Wait for your next refill or earn free credits. Your works stay as they are.
