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.

Fast vs Relaxed Mode

Fast Credits (Unlimited & Enterprise only):

• Included monthly, prioritize fastest GPUs

• Usage depends on model & resolution

• Switch to Relaxed Mode when exhausted

Relaxed Mode:

• Unlimited generations allowed

• Slower queue processing

• Accessible after Fast Credits run out

Lite and Plus plans must purchase Top-Up Credits or wait for the next billing cycle once credits are exhausted.

API Credits Are Separate

Credits from Dream Machine do not transfer to our Dream Machine API. To purchase API credits go directly to Dream Machine API Billings and Overview.

• Dream Machine and API credits are not interchangeable

• Purchase API credits via the Dream Machine API Billing & Overview page
