Work out what Dreamina AI will actually cost you.
Every model priced in credits, the free daily allowance measured against real workloads, and plans compared on cost per credit rather than headline price. Start with the calculator — it answers the question most people arrive with.

Credit costs
What each model charges per generation
Cost scales with fidelity, not with how long you wait. The cheap models are for iterating on the prompt; the expensive ones are for the render you keep.

If you have never opened Dreamina
The interface puts image generation, video generation and editing behind one prompt bar, which is why new users often cannot find the model picker.
Three things are worth knowing before your first generation. The model picker is the only control that changes the price. Aspect ratio has to be set before you generate, because re-cropping means paying for a second render. And the free credit balance refills on a rolling daily timer tied to your account, not at midnight in your timezone.
