How Do AI Music Credits Work?

Published 11 February 2026

Short answer

Credits are the currency you spend each time you generate a song. On Autunes you start with 35 credits and get 20 free credits daily, and paid plans add more. Generations cost credits; failed generations are typically not charged. Tools like editing may use credits depending on the action.

Most AI music tools use a credit system instead of charging per second of audio. Understanding it helps you plan.
