The free plan was 30 credits, once. From today it is 100 credits, and they reset every month. One credit is one image or one PDF page.

Thirty lifetime credits were usually gone by the time the real project started. A monthly 100 keeps a template alive, runs a small automation, or tests an integration properly before you pay for anything.
What to expect
- Already have a free account? Your 100 are live now, whatever you used before.
- Unused credits don't carry over. A fresh 100 replaces whatever is left.
- AI credits stay one-time on the free plan.
- Video rendering, audio and embeds stay on the paid plans.
When you run out
The API names the date they come back, and your integration picks up on its own once they do:
{
"error": "100 free credits for this month reached, it resets on October 7, 2026. Upgrade to a bigger plan to get more monthly credits",
"code": "free_monthly_credits_exhausted",
"helpUrl": "https://orshot.com/workspace/your-workspace/billing-usage"
}GET /v1/me shows where you stand at any point:
"render_credits": { "limit": 100, "used": 3, "remaining": 97 }
