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. Every plan includes a monthly credit allowance (2,000 on Free, up to 25,000 on Ultra) and image generation and editing costs no credits at all. 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.
3

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.
