What credits are for

Why your own audio costs credits
Everything in our catalog arrives ready to use — we've already separated each track into its parts and analyzed it, so you can dive straight in. Your own upload is raw audio the tools have to work on fresh — the stem separator separating it, the copyright check screening it against 150M+ recordings, Drop the Needle analyzing it against the catalog. That work runs on cloud machines that cost real money every second they run, and it happens fresh for every file you bring — so it's the part credits pay for. The catalog is already done, so using it never costs a thing.
Buy credits
Sign in to buy creditsMost tool runs cost just 25–50¢ — a quarter to half a credit — so a small pack goes a long way, and you always see the exact price before you spend. Pick a pack to check out · bigger packs include bonus credits · add-on credits never expire (subscription credits roll over up to 2×).1 credit = $1 of tool use. A tool that costs 50¢ uses half a credit — and we show you the exact math every time. Catalog browsing, listening, and downloads never cost credits.
