Why Do I Need Credits If I Have Lifetime Pro?

If you purchased Lifetime Pro, your Pro access is yours permanently.


Lifetime Pro gives you access to your included Pro features, but Pro and credits are two different things.


Some newer and advanced AI creation tools use credits even when you have Lifetime Pro.


✨ What's Included With Lifetime Pro?


Lifetime Pro includes Pro benefits such as:

  • 🎀 Access to all available voices
  • 🚫 Watermark removal on iOS and web
  • 🎬 Unlimited standard creations
  • ✨ Access to eligible advanced AI creation tools
  • ⚑ Faster generation times
  • πŸ–ΌοΈ A weekly image creation allowance on iOS


Your Lifetime Pro access does not expire.


🎬 What Are Unlimited Standard Creations?


Standard creations include:

  1. Video creations using celebrity voices
  2. AI Music / singing creations
  3. Use Your Own Voice video creations


These creation types are included under Unlimited standard creations.


However, this does not mean every image, video, or AI creation in Parrot AI is unlimited.


Some newer or advanced creation tools require credits or have their own separate usage limits.


πŸ’³ Why Do Some Features Still Use Credits?


Lifetime Pro gives you access to eligible advanced AI creation tools, but some creations made with those tools require credits.


For example, certain advanced:

  • Image creations
  • Video creations
  • AI creation tools

may use credits when you generate something.


Credits are separate from your Lifetime Pro access.


This means:

  • Lifetime Pro does not include free credits.
  • Buying credits does not replace the need for Pro.
  • Credits can only be used while you have active Pro access.
  • Credit-based generations are not included in Unlimited standard creations.


Because Lifetime Pro remains active permanently, your Lifetime Pro access continues even if your credit balance reaches zero.


πŸ–ΌοΈ How Does the iOS Image Allowance Work?


On the Parrot AI iOS app, you can create up to 40 images per week before additional images begin using credits.


Your allowance resets automatically every week.


You can check your current usage under:
Me β†’ Usage and limits


After you've used your 40-image weekly allowance, you can continue creating images for:
1 credit per image


If you don't want to use credits, you can wait for the weekly allowance to reset.


βž• What Happens If I Run Out of Credits?


Running out of credits does not remove or cancel your Lifetime Pro access.


Your included Pro benefits, including Unlimited standard creations, will continue to be available.


You'll only need additional credits if you want to use a feature or creation that requires them.


πŸ’‘ In short...


The Lifetime Pro and credits are two separate parts of Parrot AI:

  • Lifetime Pro gives you permanent access to your eligible Pro features.
  • Credits are used for certain advanced AI creations.


So even though your Lifetime Pro access lasts permanently, some advanced creations may still require credits when you use them.
