# Credits and Plans


Social Neuron uses a credit system: credits are usage units, not a fixed price peg, with a published cost per action. Different actions cost different amounts based on the computational resources required.

## Credit Costs (Starting From)

| Category | Starting Credits | Typical Range |
|----------|-----------------|----------------|
| Text and Ideation | 1-2 credits | -- |
| Images | 10 credits | 15-50 credits |
| Videos | 30 credits | mainstream 85-500, premium up to 1,500 |
| Analysis | 2 credits | -- |

Costs vary by AI model. Premium models cost more but produce higher quality. Easy Mode automatically picks the most cost-effective model; Pro Mode lets you choose.
