How Claid Credits work
What are Credits?
Credits are the new way to use Claid. Instead of paying for specific tools or features, every action in Claid - like AI Photoshoot, AI Edit, or Video Generation - now costs a certain number of credits.
Why we introduced Credits
We switched to a credit-based model to make Claid simpler, more transparent, and flexible for everyone.
The old feature-based plans could feel confusing - so now, instead of different limits per tool, every action just has a clear credit cost.
This helps you:
- See exactly how your usage adds up
- Pay only for what you use
- Get fair value no matter which tools you prefer
How it works
Every Claid plan comes with a set number of credits each month. You use credits whenever you perform an operation and refresh automatically each billing cycle.
Plan | Monthly Credits | Monthly Price |
|---|---|---|
Essential | 500 | $15 |
Pro | 2,000 | $49 |
💡 Need more? You can always buy credit packs which are valid for 12 months:
Pack | Price (USD) | Credits |
|---|---|---|
Small | $15 | 500 |
Medium | $60 | 2,000 |
Large | $200 | 8,000 |
Typical Credit costs
Below is a quick overview of how many credits different operations may use.
Some features offer multiple quality tiers (Standard, PRO 2K, Ultra 4K), which is why you’ll see a range:
Tool / Operation | Credit Cost |
|---|---|
Upscale (Enhance) image | 2 credits |
Remove background | 1 credit |
AI Photoshoot | 4–24 credits* |
AI Fashion | 4–24 credits* |
AI Video (5 seconds) | 35 credits |
AI Edit | 4–24 credits* |
Outpaint (Extend image) | 2 credits |
AI Shadows | 2 credits |
*The range depends on the quality tier you choose (Standard, PRO – 2K, or Ultra – 4K) - to be added soon.
Upscale (Enhance) image - detailed Credit breakdown
The credit cost for upscaling depends on the megapixel size of your input image. Smaller images require fewer credits, while larger, high-resolution files need more processing power.
Here’s how it works:
Input Image Size | Credit Cost |
|---|---|
Under 4 MP | 1 credit |
Under 9 MP | 2 credits |
Under 36 MP | 3 credits |
Under 128 MP | 4 credits |
If you choose to enable Polish (quality refinement) during upscaling, it adds +1 credit to the operation.
💡 You can always check the latest credit costs directly inside your Claid account before running an operation.
During the transition
If you already had a Claid subscription, your account was automatically migrated. There’s no need to take any action - your new credits are already active and ready to use.
Summary
- Credits are the new, flexible way to use Claid
- Each tool or operation costs a set number of credits
- Credits refresh monthly with your plan
- You can buy add-ons that stay valid for 12 months
- Pricing and value remain consistent across plans
