Two simple parts: a flat $14.99/month membership for upkeep (less when you pay quarterly or yearly), and credits at cost — one credit is $0.005, the model provider’s own price, so every generation costs exactly what the model costs. The payment processor’s fee is shown as its own line, at cost.

FAQ
Billing questions
Do you mark up model prices?
No. One credit costs $0.005 — exactly what the model provider charges us per credit — and every generation costs the same number of credits it costs at the source. There is no markup on any model, pack or plan.
What happens if a generation fails?
The credits come straight back to your balance, automatically. And if a finished generation ends up costing less than its quoted price, the difference is refunded too.
Do credits expire?
No. Pack credits and plan credits stay in your balance for as long as your account is open — even if you cancel your plan.
How long are my files kept?
Files are kept for 14 days — download what you want to keep. Your prompts and settings stay in your history. To keep renders longer, get Vault space or pins on the Assets page: the Vault keeps the ones you pick for a year, and a pin keeps one forever.
Can I pay for a membership up front, or give one?
Yes. Choose Quarterly or Yearly above: it’s paid once, never renews, costs less per month, and its time adds on after any you already have. To give a membership, use the gift button at the top of the app: send it to someone already on renderlight (it’s added to their account) or get a code anyone can sign up with.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. New members can start the monthly membership with 3 days free. Your card is saved at checkout but not charged; your membership starts when the trial ends, unless you cancel in Settings → Billing before then. One trial per person. The trial covers the membership: renders still use credits, sold at cost.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel a monthly membership from Settings → Billing, which opens our payment partner Whop. It runs to the end of the paid month and you keep every credit you have. Quarterly and yearly never renew, so there’s nothing to cancel.
How do I know what something costs?
Every Generate button shows its price in credits before you press it, and it changes live as you pick a model, length, resolution or batch size.
What is the membership for?
It’s a flat fee for upkeep — servers, storage, bandwidth and support: $14.99/month, or less per month when you pay quarterly or yearly. It’s separate from credits, which are sold at cost, and it’s required to generate. Your credits stay whatever happens to the membership.
Why is there a transaction fee?
Our payment processor, Whop, charges 2.7% + $0.30 on every payment, plus a $0.07 fraud-screening fee. We pass that through at cost as its own line, so the credits themselves stay at exactly the model price. We don’t keep any of it. It shows as its own line at checkout so you always see exactly what the credits cost and what the payment processor charges.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Checkout is handled securely by Whop and supports major cards and popular wallets, depending on your country.
