Understanding Credits
Credits are the currency that powers AI features in Aurrra. Every plan includes a monthly credit allowance, and different actions cost different amounts.
How credits work
Each billing cycle, your plan's credit allowance refreshes automatically. Use them for AI-powered actions like generating scripts, creating thumbnails, exporting videos, and running research queries.
- Monthly credits refresh at the start of each billing cycle. Unused monthly credits do not roll over.
- Purchased credits (top-ups) never expire and are used only after your monthly allowance runs out.
What's unlimited
Not everything costs credits. These features are available without limits on every plan:
- Instagram research and browsing
- Script editing and formatting
- Voice and avatar configuration
- Video editor (timeline, cuts, captions)
- Vault access and organization
- Collections management
Credit costs by action

Check your balance anytime
Your current credit balance is displayed in the top navigation bar. For a detailed usage breakdown, head to Settings > Billing where you can see credits used, credits remaining, and your renewal date.
Need more credits?
If you run out before your next billing cycle, you can purchase top-up packages from Settings > Billing. Top-up credits never expire and stack on top of your monthly allowance.
