Credits and costs

Your balance

Credits are the unit used to pay for the AI functions. Your balance is shown at the top of the editor of a volume, for example Balance: 769 credits, and on the Account page. It changes after every AI function. Clicking the balance in the editor takes you to the Buy credits page.

What uses credits

Everything the AI creates uses credits:

• the suggestion for a series with Suggest everything,
• Plan volume,
• texts with Write with AI and Write all texts,
• the AI review,
• images for sections, characters, the cover and maps, and Images for the whole volume.

Each function costs a different number of credits. You see the maximum price beforehand on the button, for example Write with AI (1 credit) or Plan volume (6 credits at most). All prices are also listed under What the actions cost on the Buy credits page. For Images for the whole volume the Spielbuchschmiede asks before it starts: "Draw 3 images? This costs 6 credits at most." You confirm only after that.

What is free

These functions cost no credits:

• editing sections, choices, maps and the rule set,
• Validate and Check combats with weapon,
• Test play and Play together,
• the Book view and the Phone companion,
• the export with Create print package. It is described under Export and KDP package.

How billing works

When you start an AI function, the Spielbuchschmiede reserves the credits it needs. You are charged only when the result is ready, and only for what the AI delivered. If the function fails, your balance is not charged. In that case you see That did not work. Your balance will not be charged.

When your balance is not enough

If your balance is not enough for a function, you see You do not have enough credits for this. with the link Buy credits. Nothing happens and no credits are deducted.

Confirmed email address

The AI functions are locked until you have confirmed your email address. In that case you see Please confirm your email address first. Then you can use this function. Open the link in the email we sent you and select Confirm address. On the Account page you can request the email again with Resend confirmation email.
