How Relay AI Credits Work — One Balance, Every Model
A single credit pool powers chat, image gen, video gen, audio, and more. Here's how we priced each model and why.
Most AI platforms charge separately for each capability. One bill for chat, another for images, yet another for video. It makes it impossible to predict your monthly costs.
Relay AI uses a unified credit system. Every action — sending a message, generating an image, creating a video, or cloning a voice — deducts from the same credit balance. The cost is transparent and shown before you confirm.
Subscription credits reset each billing cycle. Top-up credits never expire. We always use subscription credits first, so your top-up balance stays untouched.
Relay AI operates on a pay-as-you-go model with optional subscriptions. The Free plan has no monthly fee — just top up credits when you need them. Pro users ($29/mo) get 3,190 subscription credits per month that reset each cycle, plus pay-as-you-go credits as backup that never expire. Business users ($99/mo) get 10,890 subscription credits per month.
You can also buy credit packs anytime — $10 gets 1,000 credits, $50 gets 5,000 (best value). Credits are shared across every model and feature.
You can see your real-time balance in the top bar, and a full breakdown on the Billing page.
