Credits are the unit of work in heydecks. Every account starts free with a one-time 200 credits, no card required. Paid plans add a monthly allowance that resets each billing period. Unused monthly credits do not roll over.
#Credit costs
A deck costs the same 100 credits however it is made: in the dashboard, over the REST API, or by your assistant over MCP.
| Action | Credits | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| A deck | 100 | Per deck built and published, however it is made: dashboard, POST /v1/generate, or the MCP server. |
image | 80 | One AI slide image generated with Nano Banana Pro. The AI decides how many images a deck needs; refunded if generation fails. |
brand_extract | 50 | Extract a brand from a public URL via POST /v1/brands/extract or the MCP extract_brand_from_url tool. |
| AI edit / re-roll | 10 | Re-rolling or AI-editing a single slide. Manual edits are free. |
| Reads | Free | Listing, fetching, and structural changes (reorder, delete) are free. |
| Exports | Free | PDF and PPTX exports are always free. |
Failed work is refunded automatically. If a deck or image fails to render, the deducted credits are returned to your balance within the same billing period. The same policy applies to brand_extract.

Prices in USD per month. Annual billing pays for 10 months (2 free). Solo and Pro start with a 7-day free trial; the Free tier needs no card. Enterprise pricing is on request: contact us for custom credit volumes, SSO, SLAs, and dedicated support.
The free tier's 200 credits are a one-time grant to try heydecks, not a monthly allowance. Free decks carry a "Made with heydecks" watermark on the viewer and exports.
#Credit packs
Out of credits before your period resets? Buy a one-time pack from the billing page, on any plan:
| Pack | Credits | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 2,000 | $15 |
| Large | 8,000 | $50 |
Packs stack on top of your allowance for the rest of the billing period.
#When you run out
Requests hard-stop at your remaining balance: a 402 insufficient_credits error is returned and the request is not processed. Upgrade, buy a pack from the billing page, or wait for the next billing period.
