Credit Pricing, Usage & Top-Ups
Credits are the currency for creating content in Dream Machine. Each subscription includes a monthly allowance that resets with your billing cycle. Use credits to generate images and videos—rates vary by model and resolution.
Important: Dream Machine subscriptions and API are separate—credits do not transfer between them. Monthly credits do not roll over.
Top-Up Credits
Purchase Top-Up Credits anytime during your billing cycle for extra flexibility:
Start at $4 for 1,200 credits
Buy multiple times or in bulk
Valid for 12 months, rolls over, automatically used after monthly credits
Only available on an active paid plan
How to get and track Top-Up Credits:
Purchase: Your Account → Your Subscription → Buy Credits
Usage: Account → Profile
Invoices: Account → Manage Your Subscription → Invoice Information or support@lumalabs.ai
If you cancel or switch to Free, unused Top-Up Credits are hidden but remain valid. They reactivate upon returning to a paid plan.
