How Percify credits work and what each action costs

Percify uses one credit balance for everything you generate: images, talking videos, voice, podcasts, Brand DNA and more. You get credits from a paid plan (425 to 8,000 per plan payment) or from one-off credit packs (from 200 credits for $5). Each generation’s cost depends on the feature, model and settings, and the app shows it before you run it.

​

Where do credits come from?

Creating an account costs nothing. Generating uses credits, which come from a plan or a credit pack. Plan credits are added to your balance when a plan payment goes through. Yearly prices and all pack sizes are on Plans and pricing. To see your balance, open your profile and go to Plan & Billing. It’s shown as Available balance.

How many videos is that?

It depends on how long each video is, which is why a count of “videos” is never a fixed number. A talking video is charged per second of audio, so the length of the audio is the length of the video, and the rate depends on which model and quality you pick: 2 credits a second on Fast 480p, 4 on High 480p, 6 on High 720p, and every other model in the playground carries its own rate because a frontier model costs us more per second than an older one. The sums below use Fast 480p at 2 credits a second. Divide your credits by the rate to get seconds. So the same plan is “about 77 videos” or “about 41 videos” depending on the length assumed, and both are the same 1,233 credits. You will also see a different kind of number: percify.io/pricing says “about 15 credits a video”, which is not a rate but what customers actually spend per video on average, across every length and quality they pick. That is why it produces about 80 videos rather than 77 or 41. A rate tells you what a given video costs; the average tells you what people really do. The same applies to images: the models themselves are 1 to 2 credits, while observed spend is nearer 4. If you see different video counts for one plan across our sites, this is why: count in seconds and the numbers agree. The seconds column is the total you can make in a cycle, not the length of one video. A single generation runs reliably up to about 10 minutes and your plan states its own supported ceiling (1 minute on Creator, 3 on Scale, 10 on Ultra); anything longer is assembled by stitching separate clips, where the credits are what limit you. See the per-action rates below.

​

What does each action cost?

Most costs depend on the model, length and quality you pick. These costs are fixed: For per-second pricing, the length is measured when you generate and the cost is rounded up to a whole credit. For example, a 10-second talking video on Fast costs 20 credits. Working back from the plan and pack prices above, a credit costs about 2 cents: roughly 1.6 cents on Starter, 2.1 cents on Creator and 2.5 cents on the smallest pack. So that 10-second video is about 35 to 50 cents, and a full minute of talking video at 120 credits is roughly $2 to$3. Images, video generations, voice and Playground runs are priced per model. Some models charge a flat amount per run and others charge per second.

​

How do I see the cost before I generate?

• Playground: the model picker shows each model’s price in credits (cr) or credits per second (cr/s). The settings panel shows what your current settings will cost per run.
• Talking videos: the generate screen shows the credits per second for the quality you picked.
• Brand tools: the scan and refresh buttons show their cost before you start.

​

What happens when I run out of credits?

The generation doesn’t start and nothing is charged. Percify checks your balance before it takes any credits. The app then shows your Current Balance, the credits Required and the Shortage, with a way to get more credits from a plan or a credit pack. See Not enough credits for more.

​

Do I get credits back if a generation fails?

For most features, yes. When a job fails, the credits it used are returned to your balance automatically. See Refunds and failed generations for details and exceptions.

​

Do unused credits roll over?

A plan’s monthly credits are for that month. Each cycle the grant for your plan replaces last cycle’s unspent grant rather than stacking on top of it, so subscription credits do not bank up month after month. Credits you buy in a pack never expire. Percify keeps a protected amount on your account that a cycle never touches: every pack you buy raises it, and it falls only when you spend past it. So a pack bought today is still there in six months, even if you let a subscription lapse in between, and the monthly grant simply sits on top of it. Anything you were holding on 4 October 2026, when this changed, is protected the same way and will not expire. That protection shrinks as you spend through it and does not grow again except when you buy another pack. Two details worth knowing. The protected amount is a limit on what is protected, not a promise of credits: if you spend down to 40, what is protected is 40. And it is not capped by your plan’s cycle amount — a buyer can legitimately hold more than a month’s grant, and a cycle will not claw that back.
