Pricing FAQ
What is a vision credit?
One vision credit covers one photo identification, track/footprint ID, forensic trace analysis, or animal voice / bioacoustic identify. Species compare uses 2 credits because it runs a deeper side-by-side analysis.
Do free credits reset?
No. Free users get 1 vision credit total (one-time). Paid credit packs never expire until used.
Are repeat uploads charged again?
If you upload the same photo again within 24 hours, our cache may return the prior result without charging another vision credit.
Is text follow-up Q&A included?
Yes. Follow-up questions after an identification use a separate generous daily text limit and do not consume vision credits on the free tier.
How do I buy credits?
Sign in, open Pricing, and choose Starter, Explorer, or Pro. Razorpay Checkout handles payment securely (USD). Credits are added to your account after payment (usually within a few seconds).
