Credits | Flixu

Flixu uses a credit-based billing system. 1 credit = 1 output character translated.

How credits work

Credits are deducted atomically after each successful translation
CJK and RTL scripts have a weight multiplier applied to the output character count
Your plan includes a monthly credit allowance that resets each billing cycle
You can purchase Top-Up credits that never expire and are consumed in FIFO order
A pre-flight check runs before every translation — if you lack credits, the request fails with 402 without consuming resources

Credit deduction

Operation	Cost calculation
Text translation	Output characters × script weight
Batch translation	Sum of output characters × script weight, per target language
Document translation	Total output characters × script weight
Text analysis	Free — no credits consumed

:::note Script weights account for CJK character density (e.g., Chinese characters encode more meaning per character). Most Latin-script languages have a weight of 1.0. :::
