Plans, credits, and usage

Goal

Plan your generation work around credits and match fidelity to each stage — so you spend on confidence, not on guesswork.

When to use it

• You are deciding which plan or credit pack fits a project.
• You need to understand why a generation action is currently unavailable.
• You want to stop spending credits on avoidable retries.

Step-by-step walkthrough

1. Open Pricing to compare plan limits and the monthly credits each plan includes.
2. Check the Studio dashboard for your available credits before starting a large build.
3. Open the account modal to inspect your usage in detail.
4. Estimate panorama cost by quality level before kicking off a batch generation.
5. Remember that narration, music, AI Guide responses, and suggestions can all draw on credits too.
6. Buy a credit pack when a production push needs more generation capacity than your plan provides.

Best practices

• Draft with lower-cost actions, then spend on final high-quality generation once.
• Import your own panoramas whenever you already have suitable 360-degree images.
• Run batch generation only after the story plan has been reviewed.
• Hold bonus credits in reserve for final polish, not early experiments.

Avoid these mistakes

• Regenerating a scene without first revising the prompt that produced the weak result.
• Using high quality on concepts that are still exploratory.
• Forgetting that audio and AI Guide work also consume credits.

Go deeper

• Let credits track your production confidence — spend more once the structure is genuinely settled.
• A small test world is often the cheapest way to validate a much larger use case.
• Usage planning is part of creative production, not a chore to handle afterward.
