# Pricing & Credits
Understand how SeaArt pricing works - from SVIP plans and daily Stamina to Credit packs, generation costs, and how to estimate resource needs before creating.
SeaArt offers free access, SVIP subscriptions, and separately purchased Credits. Learn how to compare plans, understand Stamina and Credits, estimate creation costs, and manage your subscription.
## SeaArt Mall: Stamina, Credits, and SVIP Benefits
Click the **VIP icon** in the upper-right corner to access [SeaArt Mall](https://www.seaart.ai/mall?dotFrom=on_navigation_bar), where you can compare plans, review membership benefits, and purchase Credits.
* **Stamina:** Refreshes daily. Free users receive a daily allowance, while SVIP members receive more Stamina depending on their plan.
* **Credits:** Do not reset daily or expire under the applicable validity rules. They can be used for supported AI creation, model training, and paid model access.
* **SVIP benefits:** Include additional creation resources and plan-specific benefits. Check SeaArt Mall for current benefits and usage terms.
* **Buying Credits:** Purchase additional Credits through SeaArt Mall, or earn them through eligible tasks, [community activities](https://www.seaart.ai/community-center/activity), and website events.
SeaArt prioritizes Stamina when processing eligible creation tasks. If your available Stamina is insufficient, Credits can automatically cover the remaining cost, where supported. The actual cost depends on the selected tool, model, and settings, so check the displayed resource cost before creating.
### Which plan should I choose?
* **Trying SeaArt:** Start with free access and check the resource cost of your preferred tool.
* **Creating regularly:** Compare daily Stamina, included benefits, and your expected usage across SVIP plans.
* **Need more Credits:** Compare available Credit packs with the cost and commitment of a subscription.
* **Using a specific model or feature:** Check its current access requirements before subscribing.
## October Creator Discount
SeaArt's [October Creator Discount](https://www.seaart.ai/blog/october-creator-discount) runs from October 10 through November 6, 2026, offering discounts of up to 40% on selected AI models, AI Apps, model training services, and creative tools. Visit the event page to check current offers and eligibility.
## How much does a generation cost?
SeaArt does not have one universal generation price. The cost depends on the selected tool, model, and settings.
Before creating:
1. Choose your tool and model.
2. Set the available options, such as output count, resolution, or video duration.
3. Check the displayed resource cost and your available balance before submitting.
**Example:** If your selected settings show a cost of 20 Stamina per image, generating five images would require 100 Stamina. This is an illustrative calculation, not a fixed SeaArt model price.
Do not assume that a plan's daily Stamina guarantees a specific number of images or videos. Costs and output estimates vary by model and settings.
## Buying additional Credits
Open **SeaArt Mall > Buy Credits** to compare available Credit packs separately from subscriptions.
Credit bonuses and displayed prices may change. Before paying, confirm the selected pack's total Credits, validity period, and purchase terms in the Mall.
Choose a pack based on your expected usage and the applicable expiration rules. A larger pack is not necessarily the best choice for occasional creation.
## Managing your subscription
### Before subscribing
Confirm the plan, billing interval, total payment amount, renewal terms, and included benefits. If a trial or promotional offer is available, check its eligibility, duration, and subsequent renewal price before accepting it.
### Canceling renewal
According to the Mall FAQ, you can manage your subscription through **Subscription Management** in the Mall. Canceling renewal prevents the next automatic subscription charge, while SVIP benefits remain active until the end of the current paid period.
Make sure the cancellation is confirmed. Canceling renewal does not automatically mean you are eligible for a refund; consult the applicable purchase terms or contact support for refund questions.
### Payment or delivery problems
If a payment succeeds but your Credits or membership benefits do not appear, confirm that you are signed in to the account used for the purchase.
Contact SeaArt support through the site's available support entry or the [official Discord server](https://discord.com/invite/gUHDU644vU). Provide the order number, account identifier, payment time, and a screenshot through a private support channel. Never share passwords, verification codes, or full payment-card details.
## Common questions
### Can I use SeaArt without paying?
Yes. SeaArt offers a Free option with limited access. Check the selected tool's resource cost and your available balance before creating.
### Are yearly plans charged monthly?
No. Yearly plans are billed annually. The displayed monthly equivalent is for comparison, not the amount charged each month.
### Do displayed prices include taxes?
Displayed prices exclude applicable taxes. The final amount may vary depending on your region and the applicable charges shown at checkout.
### How much does a generation cost?
There is no single price for every model or tool. Select your model and settings, then check the displayed resource cost before submitting. Output count, resolution, video duration, and other options may affect the cost.
### Do Stamina and Credits expire?
Stamina resets daily. Purchased and event Credits follow different validity rules depending on when and how they were obtained. Check the terms associated with your specific purchase or reward.
### Why is my renewal price different from the original offer?
A trial or promotional price may apply only to eligible users or the first billing period. Check the offer's duration, renewal price, billing interval, taxes, and final checkout amount before confirming payment.
### What should I do if a payment or task looks wrong?
Confirm that you are using the correct account, then check the order, balance, transaction, or task details. If purchased resources are missing or a task record appears incorrect, contact support with the relevant order or task ID, time, account identifier, and a screenshot. Do not share passwords, verification codes, or full payment-card details.
