Artnex uses a credit system instead of a subscription. You buy a pack of credits once and spend them as you generate — images, videos, audio, and more. There are no monthly fees and no expiration dates. When you need more, you top up.Documentation Index

How credits work
Every AI tool on Artnex has a credit cost. When you run a generation, the cost is deducted from your balance. Costs vary depending on the model and output type — lightweight image tools cost far fewer credits than high-end video models. Every tool shows its credit cost before you generate, so you always know what you’ll spend. As a rough guide, 0.001 per credit**.Credits are not a subscription. You pay once and use your balance until it runs out. There are no automatic renewals.
Check your credit balance
Your current balance appears in two places:- Dashboard — shown as a badge near the top of the page when you’re logged in.
- Profile page — go to
/profileand look for the Credits badge in your profile header.
