Frequently Asked Questions
How do credits work?
Credits are our simple pricing model: 1 credit = $0.01. Different animations cost different amounts of credits based on length and complexity. A 15-second trailer costs 2,300 credits ($23), while a 22-minute episode costs 75,100 credits ($751). You see the exact cost before starting.
Do credits expire?
No, never! Your credits remain in your account forever. Buy credits when prices work for you, and use them whenever you're ready to create. There are no time limits or expiration dates.
Can I buy more credits anytime?
Yes! Purchase additional credits whenever you need them. You can choose from our packaged tiers with bulk discounts, or select a custom amount. All purchases are instant, and credits are immediately available.
How do bulk discounts work?
The more credits you buy at once, the more you save. Discounts range from 10% (15,000 credits) up to 40% (500,000+ credits). Discounts apply automatically to both packaged tiers and custom amounts.
What if I don't use all my credits?
That's totally fine! Credits never expire, so you can use them at your own pace. Create one animation per month or ten per week—it's entirely up to you. You only pay for what you create.
Are there any hidden fees?
Absolutely not. The credit price you see is exactly what you pay. No setup fees, no monthly subscriptions, no surprise charges. You see the exact credit cost before starting any animation, and that's the final price.
Can I get a refund for unused credits?
Credits are non-refundable once purchased, but since they never expire, you can always use them in the future. We offer this policy to maintain our low pricing and prevent abuse.
How are credits charged for my animations?
When you start a project, we show you the estimated credit cost upfront. We reserve those credits when processing begins, then charge the actual amount used when complete. If the final cost is less than estimated, we refund the difference automatically.
What happens if my animation needs more revisions?
Every animation includes 2 rounds of revisions. If you need additional revisions beyond that, they cost extra credits based on what needs to be regenerated (e.g., 500 credits per scene re-rendered, 75 credits per character redesigned).
Can I share credits with my team?
Not currently. Credits are tied to individual accounts. However, we're building team features for future releases. Contact us at team@cartoonmill.com if you need a custom enterprise solution.
Do I own the animations I create?
Yes, 100%! Everything you create with Cartoon Mill is yours to own completely. You have full commercial rights to publish, sell, license, or monetize your animations however you want. No restrictions, no royalties, no limits.
Can I try before I buy?
We offer a demo mode where you can explore the platform and see exactly how everything works. New users also receive 500 bonus credits (enough for test animations) when making their first purchase of 5,000 credits or more.
