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.
