Credits are what AI jobs run on. Different jobs cost different amounts — lip-syncing a dub costs more than producing a soundtrack. When the price depends on your footage length, Cuts shows the cost up front before running.

Plan credits reset with each billing period and don't roll over. Credit packs are different: they kick in after your plan credits run out, and they never expire.

On Pro, grab a credit pack and keep going. On Free, upgrade — or wait for your monthly reset.

No. Credits are spent only when a job succeeds. If something fails, it costs nothing.

No. Credits are spent only when AI does the work — analysis or generation. Mechanical actions like trimming, tweaking, and exporting are free. Your finished reel is never held hostage.

Yes. You keep Pro until the end of the period you've paid for, then move to Free. Subscribed on the web? Cancel in your account settings. Through the iOS app? Cancel in your Apple subscription settings — canceling on a different platform won't stop billing.

The Free plan exists so you can try everything before paying. Web purchases are generally non-refundable, but if something went wrong, email support@ferment.run and we'll try to make it right. App Store purchases are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.

They're yours and they stay yours. If you're over the Free storage limit, your library becomes read-only until you're back under — and we'll notify you before anything is removed.

Yes. You own your footage and the output Cuts makes for you — on Free and Pro alike. No commercial-rights upsell.

Yes. Cuts isn't a social platform — nothing you upload is public, shared with other users, or sold. You decide if and where it gets posted.
