Quick rule of thumb
If it generates an image with characters and a story (page, panel, cover, page translation), it costs 25 credits. If it generates a single-subject reference image (a character portrait, a world backdrop, a prop), it's free. If it's not generation at all (text editing, publishing, adding character to an issue under the 5-free limit), it's free.
Edge cases
- Failed generation: refunded automatically. You're never charged for an image that didn't generate.
- Translating to multiple languages: each language is a separate generation at 25 credits per page/cover. Three pages × four languages = 3 × 4 × 25 = 300 credits.
- Quick comic on
/quick(anonymous): doesn't deduct credits; it's free for the visitor and rate-limited instead.
