What Are Abyssale Credits?

Abyssale uses a credit-based system to provide flexibility in how you create and generate visual content. Credits function as the currency within the platform, allowing you to pay only for what you use while maintaining access to all features. This system enables precise tracking of resource usage across teams and projects.


Types of Abyssale Credits

Abyssale offers two distinct types of credits, each serving different purposes in your design workflow:

Generation Credits

Generation Credits power the core functionality of Abyssale - creating visual assets at scale. These credits are consumed whenever you generate files through any of Abyssale's generation methods.

How Generation Credits Are Consumed:

Generation credits are used across all generation methods.

  • Static Images: 1 JPG/PNG = 1 credit

  • Documents: 1 PDF page = 1 credit

  • Dynamic Content: 1 MP4/GIF/HTML5 = 1 credit per second of content

AI Credits

Note: AI features require dedicated AI credits and cannot use your standard Generation Credits pool.

AI Credits are specifically allocated for Abyssale's advanced artificial intelligence features. These specialized credits help manage resource usage for computationally intensive AI operations.

How AI Credit Are Consumed:

Background Removal: 1 AI credit per image

  • Automatically removes backgrounds from product photos, portraits, and other images

  • Works with both uploaded images and those generated within Abyssale

Text to Image: 1 AI credit per generated image

  • Transforms text descriptions into visual elements

  • Particularly useful for creating unique imagery based on written prompts

Important: Other AI-powered features in Abyssale such as Translation, Auto Focus, and Adding Format do NOT consume AI credits. These features are included in your subscription at no additional credit cost.


Credit Allocation & Billing System

Understanding how credits are allocated and refreshed is essential for managing your Abyssale usage effectively.

Standard Subscription Credits

  • Every subscription plan includes a predetermined allocation of both Generation and AI Credits

  • These credits are allocated to the entire workspace, not per seat - adding new seats does not multiply your base credit allocation

  • These credits automatically reset at the beginning of each billing cycle (monthly or annually)

  • Unused credits from your base allocation do not roll over to the next period

  • Higher-tier plans typically include larger credit pools to accommodate increased usage

For example, a Suite Plan might include 750 Generation Credits and 150 AI Credits per month for the entire workspace, while a Pro Plan might offer 450 Generation Credits and 90 AI Credits.

Additional Credit Purchases

For flexibility beyond your subscription allocation, Abyssale offers additional credit purchases:

  • Additional Credits: Can be purchased at any time through your workspace settings

  • No Expiration: Unlike subscription credits, purchased additional credits never expire

  • Usage Priority: The system automatically uses your renewable subscription credits first before drawing from your additional credit pool

This approach ensures you're never without credits when you need them while maintaining cost efficiency for your regular usage patterns.

Special Plan Considerations

Enterprise Plans

Enterprise plans offer customized credit structures tailored to organizational needs:

  • Custom credit pool allocations based on projected usage

  • Potential for specialized pricing models

  • Advanced credit monitoring and allocation tools

If your organization has specific high-volume or specialized needs, the Enterprise tier provides the most flexible credit management options.

Legacy Plans

If you subscribed to Abyssale before recent pricing or feature updates:

  • Your credit allocation may differ from current publicly available plans

  • Special credit usage rules might apply to your account

  • Your account may have grandfathered features or credit structures

Note: For detailed information about legacy plan credit structures, please contact Abyssale support directly.


Monitoring Your Credit Usage

Effective credit management requires visibility into your usage patterns. Abyssale provides comprehensive tools for tracking credit consumption.

The Monitor Dashboard

The Monitor page serves as your central hub for credit management:

  • Real-time Balances: View current Generation and AI Credit balances

  • Usage Graphs: Track consumption patterns over time

  • Method Breakdown: See which generation methods are using your credits
