## What it is

Credits pay for work that makes something new with Infinall AI. Looking at things, saving them and moving them out of the app does not use credits. This page sorts the app into those two groups.

## Who can use it

Everyone. Both plans use credits the same way. Some features that use credits are only open on Pro, see [Free vs Pro](/docs/credits/free-vs-pro).

## Cost

Mixed. Making new things uses credits. Saving, exporting, downloading and viewing are free.

## Where to find it

You see a price chip or a price card before work that uses credits. Free actions show no price, or a **Free** chip on some edit tools.

## Buttons and controls

## Options explained

### What uses credits

Work that makes new content or text with Infinall AI, charged once when the work is done:

- Making images, and edits that make new images.
- Videos made with generated footage.
- Motion videos. The price depends on what the video uses.
- Audio that makes new sound or text: Voice over, Two speakers, Compare voices, Translate & speak, Write a script, Transcribe, Music brief and the Pro audio modes.
- Speaking with a cloned voice.
- AI actions in the editor: chat, picture and voice.
- Infinall Chat replies, based on the model that answered. Images made in chat, and transcribing a file, also use credits.
- Suggested replies in Messages and to reviews, and questions to the AI analyst in Analytics.
- Connecting accounts after the free ones (2 are free): each costs 300 credits a month. Every live ad costs 2 credits a month.
- Extra tracked competitor slots in Ad Spy: 300 each.
- Campaign mode. Campaign docs are coming soon.

### What is always free

- Saving: saving to your Library, saving a project, saving a brand version.
- Exporting and downloading: Export for platforms, Mix with music, downloading an image, a video or an audio take, and exporting a video file you already made. You paid when you made it.
- Restoring an older version of an image.
- Moving a take around the canvas.
- Viewing your balance, activity and payment history, and downloading a statement.
