Credits are minutes of video. One credit turns one minute of your long video into clips, so a one-hour podcast uses 60 credits and gives up to 12 clips. The price depends only on how long the video is, not on how many clips come out, and you always see it before anything starts.
How a price is counted
A started minute counts as a whole one: a video of 42 minutes and 10 seconds costs 43 credits. That is the whole formula. A balance of 180 credits is three hours of video, for example three one-hour podcasts or six 30-minute episodes.
Plan credits and pack credits
- Plan credits come with your subscription every month and are good until the end of that month's period. They do not roll over.
- Pack credits are bought once and never expire. They suit a month when you need extra.
Both sit in one balance. Miqla always spends plan credits first, because those are the ones with a date, so nothing you paid for goes to waste while pack credits wait.
Why the balance drops when a project starts
When you start a project, its price is set aside so the same credits cannot be spent twice. When the project finishes, those credits are spent. If it fails, they come straight back.
What you never pay for
- A project that fails: its credits come back in full.
- The same link with the same settings started twice on the same day: you get the first project back instead of a second charge.
- Fewer than 12 clips: the price is for analysing the whole video, and it stays the same.
Running low
A bigger plan gives more credits every month at a lower price per credit. A credit pack is a one-time top-up that never expires. You can change your plan or buy a pack in Profile, and your AI assistant can do it for you too if you connected it with full access.
