AI credits are what make it possible to generate voiceovers on Artlist’s Toolkit. This article explains what AI credits for voiceover are, and how they’re calculated and deducted based on character usage and model selection.
What are AI credits?
AI credits are the currency used to create voiceovers, images, and videos on Artlist’s Toolkit. Each subscription plan includes a fixed number of credits per month. Whenever you generate AI content, such as voiceover, credits are deducted based on the specific tool and settings used.
💡Pro Tip: Your credit balance automatically refreshes each month and the remaining balance can be viewed from the user dashboard at any time.
How AI credits work
Each time you generate AI voiceovers, the corresponding credit cost will be automatically deducted from your monthly credit pool. The number of credits required to generate varies by model and output settings.
AI Voiceover
For AI voiceovers, the cost is calculated based on the number of characters used, including spaces and punctuation.
| Model | Credits per character |
| Eleven Multilingual v2 | 1 credit = 5 characters |
| Eleven v2 (Alpha) | 1 credit = 5 characters |
| Minimax 02 HD | 1 credit = 10 characters |
| Cartesia | 1 credit = 10 characters |
| Initial Voice Clone | 500 credits |
Note: The credit cost for each generation is shown when hovering on the Generate button before confirming the action.
💡Pro Tip: If more credits are needed than what's included in the current plan, consider upgrading to a higher tier for additional access.
Commonly asked questions
Can I purchase additional AI credits as a one off?
Currently, you are unable to purchase additional AI credits as a one off. You are able to upgrade to a higher credit package which will change your monthly or yearly plan and, hence this credit allowance will be available each month moving forward after the upgrade.
What happens to my existing credit count when I upgrade to purchase a plan with additional credits?
When you upgrade your AI Starter, AI Professional, or Max Pro plan to a higher credit tier, your credit balance is updated right away. Here are the key things to know:
- Credits you’ve already used that month aren’t reimbursed. Your usage so far in the month stays the same. The upgrade doesn’t reset or refund credits you’ve already spent.
- The upgrade adds extra credits to reach the new plan total.
- If you move from 40,000 to 240,000, the upgrade adds 200,000 credits to your existing 40000 allowance, giving you 240,000 total for that month. The next month you would then renew with 240,000.
- Billing is pro-rated. You don’t pay the full price of the higher plan immediately. Instead, you’re charged a pro-rated amount for the upgrade, based on how much time is left in your billing cycle. You would then be charged the full amount of the plan on your next renewal.
Do unused credits roll over to the next month?
Unused credits do not roll over to the next month. Monthly credits reset at the beginning of each monthly billing cycle.
Can credits be used for all of the AI tools?
Credits can be used for all AI tools.
Note: Credits can only be used to generate AI asset types included in your subscription plan. For example, if you have the AI Starter 7,500 credit plan, your credits can only be used to generate AI voiceover, whereas if you have the AI Starter 16,500 credit plan, credits can be used for AI voiceover, image and video generation.

What happens if I use all my monthly credits?
If you use all your monthly credits, you have the option to upgrade your plan to include more credits. It’s not possible to generate additional content unless extra credits are purchased or the subscription is upgraded.
When you upgrade to a higher-credit plan, the new plan will take effect immediately. Your next renewal will still occur on your original renewal date, and it will be charged at the price of the higher-tier plan you chose.
Can credits be refunded if I am unsatisfied with the generation?
All generations require credits to process, even if the result isn’t downloaded. This is because credits cover the resources needed to create the generation itself. For that reason, credits or subscription plans can’t be refunded for results that don’t meet expectations. We recommend exploring different prompts, settings, or styles to get the best possible outcome from your credits.
How can I check how many credits I have used?
You can check the number of credits used by hovering over the credits icon. It will show how many credits you have used from your total package.
