A credit is a fixed slice of what a model costs us.
Every picture, shot, bed and line is priced in credits before you press. Every plan buys credits at its own rate — the bigger the plan, the more credits a dollar buys — and the same rate applies when you top up. Every plan includes the assistant director, the deck, the script and publishing to your channels.
The price is on the button
Pick a model on any bench and the button says what the press costs, in credits, before you press it. Change the size, the length or the model and the number changes with it.
Plan credits first, bought credits last
Your plan grants credits every month and they are spent first. Credits you buy never expire. Unspent plan credits carry for 90 days on the larger plans.
You only pay for what finishes
A shot or a bed that fails on the vendor’s side is refunded to the credit. Our own failures are ours; you are not billed for them.
What a credit buys
The house model on each bench, at its default size, today. Other models on the same bench cost more or less; the picker shows each one’s price. A thousand credits cost $1.52 on the smallest plan and $0.86 on the largest.

Vendor prices move; the catalogue is re-read every week and the button always shows the price in force.
