# Billing & credits

> Prompt to Video uses its own credit pool, separate from Velo minutes.

Prompt to Video is metered separately from the rest of Velo. Where recording-based Velo usage draws from your workspace's shared minute pool, Prompt to Video draws from a **separate credit pool**.

<Note>
  Some screens in the app label this pool **Reach credits**. It is the same credit pool described here.
</Note>

## The two units

Velo meters two things separately, and they never draw from each other.

| Unit                        | What it pays for                                                                                                                                                                                         | Where to see it                             |
| --------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| **Velo minutes**            | Recording-based videos — screen capture, uploaded recordings, uploaded PDFs, and pasted links. Consumed by the length of the recordings and videos you generate, shared across everyone in the workspace | **Settings → Usage**, top of the page       |
| **Prompt to Video credits** | Videos made from a prompt. Consumed per agent turn — research, writing, revision, rendering                                                                                                              | **Settings → Usage**, under **Reach Usage** |

Running out of one does not block the other: with no minutes left you can still make a video from a prompt, and with no credits left you can still record and upload.

## How Prompt to Video credits are used

Credits are consumed per agent turn — each step where the agent researches, writes, revises, or renders counts against your pool. How many a video costs depends on how much research and revision it needs.

You can see exactly what each video consumed in **Settings → Usage**, under the **Credits used** table.

## Credits by plan

## Topping up

If you run out of Prompt to Video credits before your next billing cycle, you can purchase a top-up pack:

| Credits | Price    |
| ------- | -------- |
| 400     | \$10.00  |
| 1,000   | \$25.00  |
| 4,000   | \$100.00 |
| 10,000  | \$250.00 |

Top-up packs are purchased from **Settings → Plans & Billing → Top-up → Reach credits**. See [Plans & billing](/settings/plans-billing) for the full flow.

Top-up credits are added to your existing Prompt to Video pool and don't expire at the end of the billing cycle.
