How credits work, what they cover, and pricing tiers.
How Credits Work
Credits are the currency for image generation in Asset Forge. Different models cost different amounts of credits, so you can optimize for quality or volume depending on your needs.
Credits per Model
| Model | Credits | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| FLUX Schnell | 10 | Quick previews, iteration |
| Qwen Image | 20 | Complex scenes, text rendering |
| FLUX Dev / WAN / Seedream | 30 | Balanced quality and speed |
| FLUX Pro / Recraft / Ideogram / Imagen | 40 | Highest quality |
| Background removal | +40 | Per image, when enabled |
Example: FLUX Pro with background removal = 80 credits per image. FLUX Schnell without BG removal = 10 credits per image.
What Uses Credits
| Action | Credits | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Image generation | 10–80 | Depends on model + BG removal |
| Image redo | 10–80 | Same cost as generating a new image |
| Style Lab round | 30–240 | 3 test images per round |
| Export data generation | ~0 | Near-zero cost (text only) |
| Brainstorm chat | 0 | Free |
| Style guide revision | 0 | Free |
Use Auto model mode to optimize costs — the AI picks cheaper models for simple items and premium models only where needed. Your credit balance is always visible in the header bar.
