How credits work
Each standard GPT Image 2 image costs 10 credits. The atomic unit lets us price differently for higher-cost modes (4K = 30 credits, thinking mode = 50 credits) without renaming SKUs.
- One cost model. Every standard image consumes 10 credits from your balance.
- Sign-up bonus. One-time +50 credits when your account is created — never expires.
- Pack credits never expire. Buy once, draw down whenever.
- Subscription roll-over. Unused subscription credits roll forward up to a soft cap (= 2× period grant). After that, new period grants cap at the soft cap to prevent unbounded accumulation.
Free tier — try GPT Image 2 with a real account
Sign up (no card) and you immediately get 50 bonus credits (= 5 images). Generation works exactly the same as paid — no watermark, no quality cap.
One-off packs — buy when you need them
Packs are a single Stripe Checkout payment. No subscription, no renewal. Bigger packs unlock progressively cheaper per-image pricing — Pro is 33% cheaper than Starter.
Studio & Scale subscriptions
Two tiers, two billing intervals each:
- Studio — for solo creators and small teams. 200 images/month (or 2,400/year if you go yearly).
- Scale — for agencies and high-volume use. 1,000 images/month (or 12,000/year).
Yearly is the default option in the price card above because it’s ~17% cheaper (= about 2 months free). Yearly grants the entire year of credits at checkout — they don’t arrive in monthly chunks.
Pricing FAQ
What happens to my credits when I cancel?
Granted credits stay in your balance and remain spendable until used. Cancelling stops future renewals only.
Can I switch between monthly and yearly?
Yes — through the Stripe customer portal, accessible from your billing page. Stripe handles proration automatically.
