Generation Credits AI Generator
Generated on PixelDojo. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
A credit is the single unit of account for every generation on Pixel Dojo, and it is worth 6.25 cents on all three plans. Credits are checked and deducted before your request reaches a model, then returned automatically if that model errors. Nothing else charges you: there is no per model fee, no API surcharge, and no separate wallet for images versus video. This page walks the full path a credit takes, from the plan that grants it to the refund that returns it.
What a credit is and what moves it
Every plan buys credits at the same price
160 credits for $10, 400 for $25, 800 for $50. All three work out to 6.25 cents per credit. The plan you pick changes your monthly volume, not your per credit rate, and every tool and studio is included on all three.
The price of a job is computed from your settings, not quoted by your browser
Each tool carries its own cost rule, and the server runs that rule against the settings you actually submitted. Output count, resolution, model tier and clip length are the usual inputs. A client cannot post a lower price than the rule produces.
Deduct first, run second
The order is fixed: sign in, active subscription, compute the cost, confirm the balance covers it, deduct, then start the generation. If the balance is short the request stops with a 403 and nothing is charged.
Every deduction writes a receipt
The charge is stamped with its own id inside the same transaction that moves the balance. If the deduction throws mid flight, that receipt is what settles the question of whether you actually paid. When the answer is still unclear, the request is failed rather than run, so you are never charged for a job that never started.
A failed generation refunds itself
If the model errors, the credits go straight back and the error response says so. The one deliberate exception is a job that is already live with the provider: refunding it blind would pay for work that might still succeed, so it is handed to the reconciler instead.
Stuck jobs are settled, not forgotten
A background reconciler sweeps unfinished jobs, gives still pending work a 90 minute grace period, then checks with the provider and either delivers the output or refunds. Each refund is guarded by a unique marker so the same job can never be paid back twice.
Balances hold fractions
Every write to a balance rounds to two decimal places, which is why models can be priced at 0.1 or 1.25 credits and still bill honestly. Debits, refunds and clawbacks all round through the same helper so they cannot disagree with each other.
Model training draws on its own line
The ledger keeps a second credit type for LoRA training, and trainers price by step count rather than per output. The Flux trainer is 16 credits per 500 steps, the fast Flux trainer runs on a stepped table from 20 credits at 500 steps to 40 at 2,500, and the Stable Diffusion trainer is 2 credits per 500 steps.
Sales apply everywhere at once
When a tool is on a time limited sale, the discount is applied inside the shared cost resolver rather than in the page. The tool page, Canvas and the public API all charge the discounted price without any of them needing to know about the sale.
Lite is 160 credits for $10 a month, Pro is 400 for $25, Pro Max is 800 for $50. Divide any of those and you get the same number: 6.25 cents a credit.
Why Choose Pixel Dojo for Generation Credits
Professional-quality results with cutting-edge AI technology
One balance for everything
Images, video, music, upscaling and edits all draw on the same number. Trying a different model costs you a different amount of credits, never a different purchase.
Failure is not billable
Credits move before the job runs so the model is never handed unpaid work, and they move back when the job errors. The receipt and the reconciler exist so that both halves of that are provable rather than assumed.
The same price in every surface
A tool page, a Canvas step and an API call are all priced by the same rule with the same inputs. There is no premium for automating what you were doing by hand.
How It Works
The path one credit takes on a single generation:
Your plan grants the month's credits
Credits land on your balance when the subscription renews. Lite grants 160, Pro grants 400 and Pro Max grants 800, all at 6.25 cents each.
A request prices itself, then debits
The server reads the tool's cost rule against your submitted settings, checks the balance, and deducts with a receipt attached. A short balance ends the request before the model is ever called.
The job settles, one way or the other
A successful generation keeps the charge. An error returns it immediately. A job that is still running with the provider goes to the reconciler, which waits out the grace period and then delivers the output or refunds the credits.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about Generation Credits
How much is one credit worth?
6.25 cents. Every plan buys credits at that same rate: 160 for $10 a month, 400 for $25, 800 for $50. There is no bulk discount built into the higher plans, only a larger monthly allowance.
Am I charged if a generation fails?
No. Credits are deducted before the model runs and returned automatically when it errors. The error response tells you the refund happened. If the job was already live with the provider, the refund is handled by the reconciler instead of at the moment of the error.
What happens if I run out of credits mid month?
The next request stops with a 403 and no charge is made. Nothing is generated and nothing is deducted. You can move to a larger plan for a bigger monthly allowance at the same 6.25 cents per credit.
Do API calls cost more than using the app?
No. The cost rule lives with the tool definition, and the tool page, Canvas and the public API all evaluate the same rule with the same inputs. Sales apply to all three at once for the same reason.
Can a model cost less than one credit?
Yes. Balances are stored to two decimal places, so models priced at 0.1, 0.2, 0.5 and 1.25 credits bill those exact amounts. Three tools in the image catalog are declared at zero credits and cost nothing to run.
Does LoRA training use the same credits?
Training is tracked on its own credit line and priced by training steps rather than by output. As examples, the Flux trainer charges 16 credits per 500 steps and the Stable Diffusion trainer charges 2 credits per 500 steps.
