Managing Your Credits & Subscriptions
Apollo Labs scales with your creativity—from casual exploration to professional daily workflows. Here's everything you need to know about managing your account efficiently.
Understanding the Credit System
Credits are the currency of creation. Every generation consumes credits based on computational cost and the model you use.
How to get credits ?
All users start with 25 free credits courtesy of us. This lets you explore the platform and get a feel for it.
Pro users get 500 credits usage per month (refreshes each billing cycle)
The Overage System
Pro users can enable overage to continue generating even after their credits are used up.
To enable overage, go to your settings and enable Overage.
You will need to then set your Monthly Spending Limit (e.g., $10, $25, $50) (in USD).
This is the maximum amount you are willing to spend on credits each month. This will prevent you from spending more than you intended and getting surprised by the bill at the end of the month.
Here's are overage credits are calculated:
| Overage Credits Used | Price per credit |
|---|---|
| 0-1000 | $0.02 |
| 1000-2000 | $0.03 |
| 2000-3000 | $0.04 |
| 3000-Infinite | $0.05 |
Why It's Smart
- No interruptions — Finish urgent projects without waiting for your next billing cycle
- Full control — Your spending limit prevents surprises
- Pay for what you use — No need to upgrade to a larger plan for occasional busy weeks
Getting the Most Value
Use the Right Model
Make sure to use the right model for the task you are trying to accomplish. Each model has its own strengths and weaknesses, so make sure to choose the one that is best suited for your needs.
Leverage Image-to-Video
Instead of generating videos from scratch (high cost), create a perfect still in Image Studio (lower cost), then animate it. You get better control and save credits.
