# Credits and billing

> What spends credits, how plans and top-ups work, and where to manage billing.

Pamba meters generation with credits. Making things spends them; posting and analytics don't.

## What spends credits

- **Video generation**: the main cost; charged per generated clip/scene.
- **Image generation**: avatar scenes and starting frames.
- Costs are estimated up front in chat when confirmation is on, so nothing spends silently.

## Plans and top-ups

Subscriptions include a monthly credit allowance; top-ups add credits any time. Billing is per workspace, managed by workspace admins from settings (checkout and the billing portal are handled by Stripe; the agent can hand you the right links directly).

## Checking your balance

Ask the agent ("how many credits do I have left?") or check workspace settings. If a generation would exceed your balance, Pamba tells you before starting rather than failing midway.
