Vincony's Credit System Explained: How to Get Maximum Value

How Credits Work

Credits are Vincony's universal currency. Every model has a credit cost based on its computational requirements. Simple models like Llama 4 Scout cost 1-2 credits per request. Frontier models like GPT-5 cost 5-10 credits. Image and video generation costs vary by resolution and duration.

Plans & Allocations

• • Developer (Free): 100 credits — enough to explore features and test integrations
• • Starter ($24.99/mo): 1,500 credits — for individual developers and creators
• • Power ($54.99/mo): 5,000 credits + priority access — for power users and small teams
• • Business ($199/mo): 25,000 credits + fine-tuning + team management — for organizations

Credit-Saving Strategies

Use the Smart Model Router with optimize: "cost" to automatically use the cheapest model that meets quality requirements. Combine with BYOK for your most-used model to keep credits for exploration.

import vincony

client = vincony.Client(api_key="YOUR_KEY")

# Check remaining credits
usage = client.account.usage()
print(f"Credits remaining: {usage.credits_remaining}")
print(f"Credits used this month: {usage.credits_used}")
print(f"Top model by usage: {usage.top_model}")

Rollover & Add-Ons

Unused credits don't roll over, but you can purchase add-on credit packs at any time. Business plan customers can negotiate custom credit volumes and dedicated capacity for high-throughput workloads.
