Credits, Plans, and Getting the Most Out of SceneSelf

How credits work

One full SceneSelf set is six photos. Each photo costs 50 credits, so one full set = 300 credits. When you sign up, we give you exactly that — enough to try the product end-to-end with no card.

Credits don't expire. Spend them at your own pace.

How you get more

  • Weekly plan — 1,500 credits / week. Roughly 5 full sets. Best for: trying things out, occasional creative sprints.
  • Monthly plan — 8,000 credits / month. Roughly 27 full sets. Best for: regular creators, small social-media efforts, watermark-free output.
  • Yearly plan — 100,000 credits / year. Roughly 333 full sets. Best for: heavy users, studios, partner workflows.
  • No one-off packs at launch. If you need more credits, move to the cadence that matches your usage.

Yearly credits are released monthly so the supply paces your usage — no need to "use it or lose it" within January.

The refund promise

If a generation finishes with fewer than six photos (say, two frames didn't pass quality control), we automatically refund 2× the cost of the missing frames back to your credit balance. The math: 50 credits per photo × 2 = 100 credits refunded per missing frame.

You see this as a banner on the result page: "Used X credits · Y shot(s) didn't make it. We refunded you 2× = Z credits as compensation."

We do this because we'd rather under-deliver on a single set than over-promise on every one. The refund is automatic — you don't have to ask.

Which plan should you pick?

  • You're trying it out. The free 6-photo set is enough. Then upgrade to weekly if you like it.
  • You're shooting one set a week for a side project. Weekly plan.
  • You're shooting daily for IG / TikTok / Xiaohongshu. Monthly. The watermark-free output matters here.
  • You're running a small studio or partner workflow. Yearly. The per-set cost drops significantly, and you get early access to new storylines.

Tips to get the most from each generation

  1. Be specific in your prompt. "A day in Dubai" works. "A day in Dubai, evening at the souk, candid phone photos" works better.
  2. Use a clean, front-facing selfie. No filters, no extreme angles. Bright, neutral light is best.
  3. Pick the right shot perspective for the story. Selfie vibe vs. friend-candid vibe come out differently. Both work, just pick the one that fits.
  4. Don't fight realism. If you're "a surgeon in the OR", the mask stays on — that's what makes the scene feel real. The set with the mask on will read more genuine than the one where you secretly took it off.
