What are AI credits? Credits are what Zen AI chats cost — each message spends a few credits depending on the model. A bucket is a balance of credits plus storage and premium features. No subscription: buy once, use until it runs out.
Pay as you go
No subscription, no lock-in. Every bucket is a one-time top-up — grab one only when you need it, and unused credits stay in your account.
Every bucket also unlocks storage and premium features →

Zen models & real costs
Every Zen version, the DeepSeek cost behind it, and what a chat costs you.
Credits are priced at roughly 1.5–2× the real AI cost — enough to keep Studily free for everyone and fund development, without subscriptions.
