### Larger plans

Within Pro, we also offer higher monthly volumes: 30,000 (Pro XL), 60,000 (Pro 2XL) or 120,000 (Pro 3XL) credits per month. For more than that, choose **Contact us for bigger plans** or email [sales@glif.xyz](mailto:sales@glif.xyz).

For most marketing teams producing campaigns every month, Pro L or above is the practical starting point: it includes Glif Genius, full video and API automation.

For enterprise pricing, email [sales@glif.xyz](mailto:sales@glif.xyz).

## Credit packs

For launches and busy months, add a one-time credit pack at [glif.app/pricing/credit-packs](https://glif.app/pricing/credit-packs). Packs require an active subscription.

| Pack | Price | Credits |
| :- | :- | :- |
| Creator | \$9.99 | 800 |
| Builder | \$100 | 8,000 |
| Studio | \$1,000 | 80,000 |

## Budget for a campaign

What drives cost:

* **Asset type:** video generally costs much more than images.
* **Video length and resolution:** longer and higher-resolution clips cost more.
* **Number of variations and takes**
* **Intelligence tier:** Lite is cheapest, then Flash, Smart and Genius.

Ways to keep costs predictable:

* **Draft first, finalize second.** Generate lower-resolution drafts, pick winners, then upscale only those.
* **Batch your brief.** Ask for a whole set in one request rather than one asset at a time.
* **Resize, don't regenerate.** Make one approved ad, then resize it to other placements.
* **Use a lower tier** for simple edits and resizes.
* **Track spend per campaign** by keeping each campaign in its own chat and turning on per-chat totals in **Settings → Spending controls**.

## Free credits

New accounts get a one-time bonus of 50 credits, which expires. There are no daily free credits.

## When credits expire

* **Subscription credits** expire at the end of each billing period. They don't roll over.
* **Credit pack credits** expire six months after purchase.

## Cost estimates and approvals

Before an expensive step, Glif shows an estimate and asks for approval if it's over your spending limit. Estimates are set high on purpose, so the final cost is often lower. Adjust your limit in **Settings → Spending controls**.

## Check your balance

Your balance appears at the bottom left of the app, under your username. See your full history in **Settings → Usage**.

## Commercial use

Buying credits, through a subscription or a credit pack, gives you commercial usage rights to what you create, subject to the license of each underlying model. Before running assets in paid media, check your platform's ad policies and any disclosure rules for AI-generated content in your markets.

## Refunds

* **Failed runs:** credits are refunded automatically.
* **Results you don't like:** not refunded. Creative output often takes a few rounds.
* **Something looks wrong:** if your balance seems off, or the agent did something that cost credits without your approval, email [contact@glif.xyz](mailto:contact@glif.xyz) with your username and a screenshot of the chat.

## Cancel your subscription

Cancel anytime in **Settings → Billing**. You keep your benefits until the end of the current billing period and won't be charged again.

### Reference costs

| Output | Credits |
| :- | :- |
| UGC-style video take, Seedance 2.5 (480p) | \~208 |
| UGC-style video take, Hailuo H3 Max (768p, up to 15 s) | \~162 |

For live figures, call `whoami`: it returns the typical credit cost of one image, video and audio output.

### Estimating a batch

Before a large request, estimate: (number of outputs) × (typical cost per output from `whoami`), plus agent overhead for the tier. Share the estimate with the user and confirm before calling `compose_project`.

### Spending rules

* `compose_project` charges credits and starts immediately with no approval step. Confirm asset count, formats and video length with the user before each call.
* Never re-run or retry a paid request automatically. Calling `compose_project` again while a job is working does not speed it up; in the same project it errors, and without `project_id` it starts a separate billable job.
* Combine related outputs into one request.
* Prefer resizing an approved asset over regenerating it for each placement.
* Check `whoami` before large jobs.
* If the balance is too low, tell the user. Don't make purchases unless the user explicitly asks.
