Credits, Plans & Retention

Understand credit consumption, pack vs. subscription rules, automatic failure refunds, and cloud retention.

Last updated November 13, 2026

The flat credit rule

  • 1 generated variation = 1 credit.
  • Generating 4 variations in a single run deducts 4 credits total.
  • No hidden multipliers: Speed (10 steps), Quality (50 steps), Image adherence (CFG), Image colors, and VRM spring bones all cost the exact same 1 credit per variation.

Automatic failure protection

Credits are reserved when a generation job is accepted and settled only when the 3D archive finishes cleanly. If GPU processing fails or times out, reserved credits are restored automatically to your account.

Packs vs. Subscriptions

  • Welcome credits (5 credits): Granted once on your first email sign-in. Never expire.
  • One-Time Credit Packs (25, 120, 250 credits): Never expire and require no recurring billing. Purchased pack credits stack on top of welcome credits.
  • Monthly Subscriptions (Starter, Pro, Advanced): Monthly quota credits accumulate and stay usable as long as your subscription remains active. If a subscription expires or is canceled, unused subscription credits are locked until you re-subscribe (pack and welcome credits always remain usable).
  • Annual Subscriptions: Release a monthly quota every month; unused annual plan credits accumulate until the end of the 12-month billing cycle and then expire at cycle renewal.

Billing, receipts, and subscription self-service are processed securely by Paddle. Active subscribers and Paddle billing customers can manage payment methods or cancel renewals anytime via Manage subscription in the Account menu.

Output retention & privacy

  • Cloud retention: Completed generation archives remain downloadable from KardMesh servers for 7 days.
  • Local browser cache: The web studio caches your 15 most recent completed ZIPs in IndexedDB so you can inspect and re-download them from History even after the 7-day server window expires.
  • No AI training: Uploaded images and generated outputs are processed in isolated workers solely to fulfill your request and are never used to train models.
