# Credit Pricing

See how many credits each action costs — from image generation to video creation.

## Credit Pricing

Every action in Samsa costs a certain number of credits. Here's a breakdown of what each action costs.

### Free Actions

These actions don't cost any credits:

<table style="min-width: 50px;"><colgroup><col style="min-width: 25px;"><col style="min-width: 25px;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Action</p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Cost</p></th></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>AI Model Training</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Free</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Create New Project</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Free</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Create New Preset</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Free</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

### Image Actions (Resolution-Based)

Image creation and editing costs depend on the output resolution:

<table style="min-width: 100px;"><colgroup><col style="min-width: 25px;"><col style="min-width: 25px;"><col style="min-width: 25px;"><col style="min-width: 25px;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Action</p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>1K</p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>2K</p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>4K</p></th></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Image Creation</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>5 credits</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>10 credits</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>20 credits</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Image Edit</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>5 credits</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>10 credits</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>20 credits</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Image Variants</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>5 credits</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>10 credits</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>20 credits</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

### Flat-Rate Image Actions

These actions have a fixed cost regardless of resolution:

<table style="min-width: 50px;"><colgroup><col style="min-width: 25px;"><col style="min-width: 25px;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Action</p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Cost</p></th></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>SVG Export</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>5 credits</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Background Removal</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>1 credit</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

### Image Upscale (Resolution-Based)

Upscaling costs depend on the target resolution and the model you choose.

**Standard Upscale (Crystal / SeedVR — up to 12K):**

<table style="min-width: 50px;"><colgroup><col style="min-width: 25px;"><col style="min-width: 25px;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Resolution</p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Cost</p></th></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>2K</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>5 credits</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>4K</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>10 credits</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>6K</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>20 credits</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>8K</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>25 credits</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>10K</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>35 credits</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>12K</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>45 credits</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

**Crystal above 12K (up to 38K / 1.5 gigapixels):**

Above 12K, Crystal is priced by the actual output size: **0.6 credits per megapixel**, rounded up to the nearest 5 credits. The exact cost for each option appears in the Upscale tab when you hover over it. Approximate examples: 16K ≈ 80 credits (~133 MP), 20K ≈ 135 credits (~220 MP), 24K ≈ 180 credits (~300 MP), up to 900 credits at the 38K maximum (1,500 MP). Because pricing follows the real output size, two images upscaled to the same class can cost slightly different amounts.

**Magnific Creative (up to 4K) — 3x standard:**

<table style="min-width: 50px;"><colgroup><col style="min-width: 25px;"><col style="min-width: 25px;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Resolution</p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Cost</p></th></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>2K</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>15 credits</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>4K</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>30 credits</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

**Magnific Precision (up to 16K) — 3x standard:**

<table style="min-width: 50px;"><colgroup><col style="min-width: 25px;"><col style="min-width: 25px;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Resolution</p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Cost</p></th></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>2K</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>15 credits</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>4K</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>30 credits</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>6K</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>60 credits</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>8K</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>75 credits</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>10K</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>105 credits</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>12K</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>135 credits</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>14K</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>180 credits</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>16K</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>240 credits</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
