Everything you make on SonnaLabs is paid for with credits. One balance covers voices, images, video and music, and it is the same balance on the web and in the Android app. This guide explains how the credits are spent.
One balance, two ways to get credits
- The Free plan gives you a monthly allowance of credits. It covers the Google Cloud and HeyGen Voice Turbo voices. The amount is on the pricing page.
- Pro and Max are paid plans with more credits, and credit packs are credits you buy when you need them. They unlock every model: ElevenLabs, HeyGen Voice, images, video and music.
- You can buy on the web or on Android with Google Play. The credits you buy in one place are available in the other. See the ways to pay.
How each kind of generation is priced
The price always depends on the model, and then on one more thing:
| Kind | Priced per | What changes the price |
|---|---|---|
| Text to speech | 1,000 characters | The model |
| Image | Image | The model and the size (1K, 2K, 4K) |
| Video | Clip or second | The model, the resolution, the length and whether it has audio |
| Music | Generation | The model |
Video is the one to watch: some models charge a fixed amount per clip, others charge per second, so a longer clip costs more on those. The models page shows the price of every configuration of every model, and each model guide on this blog has its own table.
Dollar amounts are estimates
Credits are the real price. Where the site shows a dollar amount next to a credit price, it is an estimate to help you compare, not a charge.
If a generation fails
If a generation fails, the credits for it are refunded to your balance automatically. The refund policy has the details, including purchases.
Spending credits wisely
- Draft on a cheaper model and run the final version on a premium one.
- Draft at a lower resolution and raise it only when the idea works.
- Check the unit (per clip or per second) before you choose a video model.
