# Credits and plans

> Cyclops, Minotaur, Kraken, and Behemoth — prices, credits, Vault, API access, and when a run is charged.

Plans decide how much you can put through at once. Credits decide what a run costs. A free account can reach every skill it can afford — it cannot run them at agency volume.

## Plans

A signed-out visitor is not a plan: 3 files per free-tool run, no AI, no Vault, no API.

Manage the plan at [mediamonster.app/plan](https://mediamonster.app/plan). See [Billing](/account/billing).

## When credits are charged

Credits come off **before** the provider is called. They are refunded if that run fails.

On a line of steps, each skill is charged as it starts. A finished step is not charged again if you retry the rest of the line.

The response from the API includes `credits_charged`.

<Warning>
  Cyclops has no monthly credits. An AI skill on Cyclops needs a [top-up](#top-ups) first. Free tools spend the daily allowance instead of credits.
</Warning>

## Top-ups

Buy 250 to 50,000 credits from the plan page. Top-up credits **never expire**.

They are priced above the subscription rate on purpose:

| Pack size     | Per credit |
| ------------- | ---------- |
| Under 1,500   | \$0.012    |
| 1,500 and up  | \$0.0107   |
| 5,000 and up  | \$0.0098   |
| 15,000 and up | \$0.009    |

The smallest top-up is the price of trying an AI skill without upgrading.

## Extra Vault storage

Paid plans can add storage in **100 GB** blocks at **\$3** each. Cyclops files still expire after 30 days; extra storage does not change that.

## What a guest can do

* Convert, resize, and crop images in the browser
* Send up to 3 files at a time, up to 100 MB each
* Email a result — that creates an account, puts the files in the Vault, and mints a delivery. The address has to be verified.

Video and audio convert or resize, AI skills, saved recipes, galleries you keep, and API keys all need an account.
