The '''Billing Model''' in [[ACT3AI|ACT 3 AI]] is designed to give creators predictable, transparent costs while maintaining flexibility for different usage levels.   
The '''Billing Model''' for [[ACT3AI|ACT 3 AI]] is credit-based, with different subscription tiers designed for personal creators, professional filmmakers, and enterprises.   
It uses a [[Credit_System|credit-based system]] that allows you to pay only for the features, render times, and resolutions you use, regardless of project type.
Credits are consumed when generating AI video, images, and assets. Each plan includes cloud storage, credit rollover, and advanced feature access.


ACT 3 AI offers both subscription and pay-as-you-go options, making it suitable for solo creators, production teams, and enterprise clients.
== Subscription Plans ==


== Key Components ==
{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%; text-align:center;"
* '''Credits:''' Virtual tokens used to pay for AI generation tasks, rendering, previews, and exports. 
! Plan !! Price / Month !! Credits Included !! Credit Rollover !! Cloud Storage !! Key Features
* '''Subscription Plans:''' Monthly or annual packages that include a set number of credits and feature access. 
|-
* '''Pay-As-You-Go:''' Buy extra credits at any time when you need them.  
| '''Free''' || $0 || 800 credits || None || 50 MB || style="text-align:left;" |
* '''Feature Access Tiers:''' Higher-tier plans unlock advanced tools like [[Google_Veo_3|Google Veo 3]], [[Wan|WAN AI]], and [[Runway|Runway Integration]].  
* Personal Use

== How Billing Works ==
* Always visible to community  
# Choose a subscription plan via [[Subscription_Plan|Subscription Plan Settings]] or continue as a pay-as-you-go user.  
* Limited features compared to paid plans  
# Credits are deducted based on:
* Includes: [[AI_Wizard|AI Generation]], [[Editor|Camera Controls]], [[Characters|Character Casting & Animation]]
  * Render duration (seconds or minutes)  
  * Resolution (Draft, Medium, High, 4K)  
  * Rendering engine used (e.g., [[Google_Veo_3|Google Veo 3]], [[Wan|WAN AI]], [[Runway|Runway]]) 
# Monitor credit usage in the [[Credit System|Credits Panel]] on the dashboard. 
# When credits run out, purchase more or upgrade your plan instantly.
 
== Pricing Factors ==
* '''Resolution Multiplier:''' Higher resolutions use more credits. 
* '''Model Type:''' Some engines cost more due to higher GPU requirements. 
* '''Additional Features:''' Extra charges for multi-language dubs, 4K exports, or advanced color grading.
