Fliki's credit system is confusing. Standard plan gives 60 min video credit -- but re-renders, premium voices, and editing all consume more. Here's exactly how credits work.

## How Fliki's Credit System Works

Fliki measures usage in **minutes of audio and video** rather than in video count. Each plan has two separate limits: audio minutes (used for voiceover generation) and video minutes (used for visual rendering).

Standard plan: 180 audio minutes + 60 video minutes per month
Premium plan: 600 audio minutes + 240 video minutes per month

The confusion: **these two pools deplete separately and don't transfer between each other**. You can run out of video minutes while still having plenty of audio minutes left.

## What Actually Burns Your Fliki Credits

Most creators are surprised by how fast credits disappear. Here's what consumes credits and how much:

**High credit consumers:**
- Initial video render: 1 minute of credit per 1 minute of video
- Re-rendering after changes: **full credit cost again** (same as first render)
- Premium voice selection: consumes 20-30% more credits than standard voices
- Premium stock footage: may incur additional licensing costs

**The re-render trap:** If you generate a 2-minute video, review it, make script changes, and re-render -- you've now used 4 minutes of credit for 1 video. Creators making iterative edits can burn through 60 video minutes in fewer than 15 final videos.

## The True Cost Per Video on Each Fliki Plan

Here's what Fliki videos actually cost when you account for typical re-renders:

**Standard plan ($28/mo, 60 video minutes):**
- Making 20 x 60-second videos with 1 re-render each = 40 minutes used
- Effective cost per video: $1.40
- Hit cap at: ~20 videos if no re-renders, ~10 with editing

**Premium plan ($88/mo, 240 video minutes):**
- Making 50 x 60-second videos with 2 re-renders each = 150 minutes used
- Effective cost per video: $1.76
- Still cheaper than Agency tools but significantly more than per-video pricing

**Comparison:** FluxNote Rise plan ($9.99/mo) gives 21 complete videos -- script, render, captions -- at **$0.48/video** with unlimited re-renders included.

## What Happens When You Run Out of Credits

When you exhaust your video minutes, Fliki does not automatically pause your account. Instead, you can continue rendering at **overage rates of approximately $0.50-$1.00 per additional minute** -- which gets added to your next invoice.

Many creators discover this overage charge only when they see their billing statement. The charges can add $15-40 to a monthly bill for active content creators.

To avoid overages: monitor your minute usage dashboard weekly, avoid re-rendering unless necessary, and draft scripts fully before generating the first render.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do Fliki credits work?

Fliki measures usage in minutes of audio and video. Standard plan includes 180 audio minutes and 60 video minutes per month. Each render -- including re-renders after changes -- consumes the full minute count of the video length.

### Do Fliki credits roll over?

No. Unused Fliki credits expire at the end of each billing period and do not roll over to the following month.

### Why did my Fliki credits run out so fast?

Most likely because re-renders consume full credits each time. If you rendered a 2-minute video and edited it twice, that's 6 minutes of credit consumed for one final video. Premium voice selection also consumes 20-30% more credits.

### Is there a Fliki alternative without a credit system?

Yes. FluxNote uses a fixed video-count model -- you get a set number of complete videos per month (21 on the $9.99 Rise plan) with unlimited re-renders included. No per-minute credit tracking required.
