One bill covers the entire fifteen-model stack
Section titled “One bill covers the entire fifteen-model stack”No separate Runway, Pika, Kling, ElevenLabs subscriptions. No retail model pricing. Ra negotiates enterprise rates; you pay Credits.
Credit behavior
Section titled “Credit behavior”- Bundled by plan or purchased à la carte
- Heavier formats (feature-length, 24×7 streams) consume more Credits than short-form (ads, explainers)
- Ra always shows the Credit cost before render — nothing spends silently
- Unused Credits roll forward within a billing cycle
- Enterprise Credit pools available for studios, labels, agencies, brand teams
Why Credits, not seats
Section titled “Why Credits, not seats”A seat model taxes a creator for having a team. A Credit model taxes only production volume — which is the only variable that correlates with value delivered. Solo creators, multi-channel operators, and studios all run on the same meter. Ra scales with the work, not the org chart.
