# Credits System

Creoplay AI uses a credit economy.

Credits are consumed when users perform AI-based actions or export a game.

### Credit Value

Recommended standard:

**1 credit = $0.01 USD equivalent**

### Main Credit Sources

Users can get credits from:

* Free monthly grants
* Monthly subscription plans
* One-time top-ups
* Metered billing

### Credit Deduction Order

The system should deduct credits in this order:

1. Subscription credits
2. Top-up credits

This ensures monthly subscription credits are used first before purchased top-up credits.
