Overview
Magic Hour uses credits to measure how much you can create across all tools. Credits give you flexibility: use them on any image, video, or audio workflow at your own pace.
You can start free, then upgrade when you need more credits, higher export quality, commercial rights, or additional features.
What Are Credits?
Credits are the unit of consumption for Magic Hour tools. Each image generated, video created, upscale performed, or audio minute generated costs a certain number of credits. Costs vary by tool and output settings.
Think of credits as a budget you can allocate across tools based on your workflow.
How Credits Work
Signup credits
New accounts receive 400 signup credits.
Daily credit redemptions
You can redeem 100 credits once per calendar day by visiting the Create page.
Free users can make up to seven daily claims, for a maximum of 700 credits.
Active subscribers can claim 100 credits once per calendar day with no lifetime limit while subscribed.
Daily credits are added to your existing balance and do not expire.
Paid-plan allowance
Paid plans include a yearly credit allowance distributed across the subscription period.
Credits replenish at the beginning of each billing period and do not expire.
Rollover
Unused credits roll over indefinitely, including credits from subscriptions, daily redemptions, and credit packs.
Credits by Plan
Annual billing includes 33% off.

Notes
Creator, Pro, and Business remove watermarks and include commercial use.
API access is available to all users, but free access is limited.
Daily redemptions are separate from the standard credits included with each plan.
Subscribers can redeem 100 credits once per calendar day for as long as their subscription remains active.
Estimating What Credits Can Produce
Credit costs vary by tool and selected options. Use the estimate shown in the creation screen before generating.
New accounts receive 400 signup credits. Free users can also claim 100 credits once per calendar day, up to seven total claims. Active subscribers can continue claiming 100 credits daily while their subscription is active.
Free product tools are separate
Eligible video tools on /products and /tools offer up to three free generations per day using LTX 2.3. These are separate from signup credits, daily account-credit claims, and the credit-based tools under /create.
Credit Packs
When you need additional credits without changing your plan, you can purchase a credit pack.
Pack | Credits | Price |
Starter | 4,000 credits | $10 |
Standard | 12,000 credits | $30 |
Large | 30,000 credits | $75 |
Credit packs:
Remove the watermark.
Never expire.
Do not include subscription benefits beyond watermark removal.
What Happens When You Run Out?
Free users
You can redeem 100 daily credits when eligible until you have used all seven free-plan redemptions. After that, you can subscribe or purchase a credit pack.
Subscribers
You can:
Redeem 100 daily credits once per calendar day.
Purchase a credit pack for an immediate top-up.
Wait for your plan allowance to replenish at the beginning of your next billing period.
Using Credits Efficiently
Start small
Test prompts and settings with short generations before creating longer videos or large batches.
Spend video credits intentionally
Use video tools for your highest-value assets, then create additional versions using lighter workflows such as subtitles and edits.
Use rollover as a buffer
Save unused credits during lighter periods and use them during launches, campaigns, or larger projects.
