Flowy runs on credits: generating spends them, and every workspace has its own shared wallet. Credits never expire, and failed generations refund themselves.

​
What uses credits

Generating content spends credits — images, video, audio, and the other node types you run on the canvas. Video is the most credit-intensive, so longer, higher-resolution clips cost more than a quick image. Studio renders use credits where applicable, and the AI assistant is metered as it plans, edits nodes, and analyzes your work. Paid plans include a monthly credit allowance — 20,000 on Lite up to 300,000 on Ultra — while the Free plan is pure pay-as-you-go. See plans & pricing.

​
View your balance

Open Settings → Billing. The overview shows your available credits, plus any credits temporarily on hold for in-flight generations. The wallet is shared across everyone in the workspace.

​
Top up

You can buy credits on any plan, and they stack on top of any monthly allowance.
1

Open Settings → Billing and choose Buy credits

Only the workspace owner can buy credits.
2

Pick an amount

Choose a preset credit pack, or enter a custom amount from 5to5 to 1,000. Some packs include bonus credits, and the dialog shows exactly how many credits you’ll receive.

Complete checkout

Pay through the secure checkout. Your balance updates as soon as the payment completes.
Purchased credits never expire — they stay in the workspace wallet until you spend them.

​
Auto-reload

Turn on Auto-reload in Settings → Billing to top up automatically when the balance runs low. Add a card, then set a credit threshold and a reload amount between 5and5 and 1,000 — for example, “charge $20 when the balance falls below 5,000 credits.” Flowy charges your default payment method whenever the balance crosses the threshold, so a long render never stalls on an empty wallet.

​
The credit lifecycle

Credits move through three states on every generation, which keeps your balance honest when something goes wrong:
  1. Reserved — when a generation starts, the credits it needs go on hold so they can’t be spent twice.
  2. Deducted — when it succeeds, the reserved credits are charged and the result lands on your canvas.
  3. Refunded — if it fails, the reserved credits return to your wallet automatically.
You are never charged for failed generations — the refund is automatic, no support ticket needed. See refunds for details.
