Credits & billing
How Cutroom credits and billing work — reserve, approve, settle, and refunds on failure.
Credits pay for anything that runs in the cloud — generation and the final server master. They follow reserve → approve → settle:
- Reserve — a proposal estimates its cost as a shape on your timeline. Nothing leaves your balance.
- Approve — you approve at the gate; the credits are held, not spent, while the job runs.
- Settle — on success the hold settles and the result commits. If it fails, the hold is released and you pay nothing.
