# Credit Costs

> How many credits each job type consumes.

## Credit usage by job type

| Job type               | Rate        | Charged per                        |
| ---------------------- | ----------- | ---------------------------------- |
| Transcription          | 58 credits  | Per minute of audio                |
| Translation (captions) | 31 credits  | Per 1,000 characters, per language |
| Translation (metadata) | 31 credits  | Per 1,000 characters, per language |
| Dubbing (voice clone)  | 250 credits | Per 1,000 characters, per language |

<Tip>
  **Estimating character count from duration**: A typical speaker produces roughly **750 characters per minute** of video. So a 10-minute video with \~7,500 characters would cost about 233 credits to translate into one language (7.5 × 31).
</Tip>

<Accordion title="Example: 10-minute video into 5 languages (captions + dubbing)">
  Assuming \~7,500 characters of spoken content:

  | Step                  | Calculation   | Credits    |
  | --------------------- | ------------- | ---------- |
  | Transcription         | 10 min × 58   | 580        |
  | Translation (5 langs) | 7.5 × 31 × 5  | 1,163      |
  | Dubbing (5 langs)     | 7.5 × 250 × 5 | 9,375      |
  | **Total**             |               | **11,118** |

  Captions only (no dubbing) for the same video would cost **1,743 credits** — the Starter plan (15,000 credits) covers about 8 videos of this size for captions-only localization.

## Credit packs

If you run out of plan credits, purchase a [credit pack](/billing/plans#credit-packs) — a one-time top-up that never expires.

| Pack   | Price | Credits |
| ------ | ----- | ------- |
| Boost  | \$5   | 5,000   |
| Growth | \$12  | 15,000  |
| Scale  | \$35  | 50,000  |

Pack credits are used after your plan credits are exhausted each cycle.

## Refunds

<Check>
  If a job fails, the credits it consumed are **automatically refunded** to your balance. No action needed — you'll see the refund in your credit history immediately.
</Check>

Failed jobs that are retried resume from a checkpoint when possible, so you're only charged for the work that actually completes.
