SPARKLES EDITOR

Pricing & Credits

Use Credits for AI conversations, prompt refinement, image creation and document workflows. Credits fund usage of the service; they are not money, an investment or a transferable payment instrument.

Updated: 2026-10-31

GPT models and images: 0.2–0.5× pricing

The standard multiplier for all GPT models and images is 0.5×; active Starter, Creator and Studio plans use 0.4×, 0.3× and 0.2×. Pro access requires a verified paid order or an administrator grant. One active plan per account: renew or upgrade, with no downgrade until expiry. The discount covers all GPT model usage, image creation, chat images and animation, including top-up balance when plan Credits run out. Expiry or cancellation restores the standard rate. Your plan, Credits, expiry and discounts are shared between Sparkles Editor and SparkleTrip with the same account; only the payment store differs.

Online payments are processed by Waffo; support can also arrange purchases. Monthly plans do not renew or charge automatically. Renew before expiry to keep remaining plan Credits and extend the term, or upgrade for the quoted difference. Confirm the exact amount, added Credits and applicable taxes before paying.

Request a refund within 14 days if that purchase’s Credits are entirely unused. No voluntary partial refund for a used purchase. Mandatory rights remain unaffected.

View model usage rates

Rates below are Credits per million tokens. All GPT models and images use 0.5× by default, applied once. Non-GPT models keep their published rates. Charges follow actual usage with no added per-request minimum. An agent turn can make several model or tool requests, billed separately.

Text models · Credits / million tokens
Model	Tier	Input	Cached input	Output & reasoning
deepseek-flash	Off-peak	3	0.06	12
deepseek-flash	Peak	6	0.12	24
gpt-6.1-terra	Standard	5	0.25	25

GPT requests over 272,000 input tokens use long-context rates for the entire request. DeepSeek peak hours are weekdays 09:00–12:00 and 14:00–18:00 China Standard Time, excluding the currently configured Chinese holiday dates. Where cache writes are billed, GPT charges 1.25 times that tier’s uncached input rate; DeepSeek has no separate cache-write charge.

For gpt-image-2.5-flare and gpt-image-2.5-sunburst, rates per million tokens after the 0.5× multiplier are: text input 25 Credits, cached text 6.25, image input 40, cached image 10, image output 150. Actual charges vary with size, quality and references; there is no fixed per-image price.

All GPT and image rates above use the standard 0.5× multiplier, including Astra and earlier GPT models. Active Starter, Creator and Studio plans pay 80%, 60% and 40% of those rates. Only one multiplier applies. Non-GPT models such as DeepSeek and MiMo keep their existing rates.

Image generation models

Image creation and editing use the GPT Image model family through our configured API provider. Current provider model identifiers include gpt-image-2.6-sunburst, gpt-image-2.6-flare, gpt-image-2.6, gpt-image-2, gpt-image-2.5-flare and gpt-image-2.5-sunburst. These names identify the integrations offered by the provider; availability depends on the current catalog. Sparkles Editor is an independent application, not an official OpenAI service.

New creative-assistant conversations default to GPT-6.1 Terra unless you have saved another model preference. You can also choose another available supported model. Selected document or visual tools may call a different supported model. Generated images are AI content; assess accuracy, rights and suitability before using them.

Current purchase options

Top-ups and monthly passes are available through the Waffo checkout when enabled, or through support. Test mode is clearly labeled: it does not charge real money or grant spendable Credits. Verify the final price and applicable taxes at checkout.

A one-time top-up adds the agreed Credits to your account after payment verification.
One active plan per account. Same-tier renewal adds the full plan Credits and extends expiry by one month. An upgrade charges only the published price difference and adds the Credits difference, preserving your unused Credits. Expiry is at least one month from the upgrade payment, without shortening an existing term. No automatic renewal. Plan Credits expire at the final expiry date. Top-up balance remains separate and has no scheduled expiry.
Monthly passes are one-time purchases and do not automatically charge a payment card or renew. Make a new purchase or contact support to renew; check your active-until date in Credits & account.

How usage is charged

One-time top-ups provide 8 Credits per USD. Monthly plans offer more Credits per dollar. Generation consumes Credits at the published service rates, which include model usage and service costs; a Credit is not a dollar of upstream model cost.

Usage varies by model, text length, reasoning, image settings and any document-reading or generation tools used. Prompt refinement and follow-up conversations can also consume Credits. Your account shows available balance and recent usage.

The same account shares its subscription, Credits balance, expiry date and discounts between Sparkles Editor and SparkleTrip. Only the checkout store differs; usage on either site draws from the same balance.

What you receive

Access to the web-based AI creative workspace: guided conversations, image generation and supported document tools. These are digital services, with no physical delivery.
Results appear in your account after processing. Generation depends on upstream availability and may fail; a fixed completion time or a particular creative result is not guaranteed.
New ordinary generated images are retained for 1 day after generation completes, and temporary image uploads for 1 day after upload. On first addition to an infinite canvas, images are retained for 7 days from that addition; reusing them in the same canvas does not renew the period. Existing images keep their originally recorded expiry times.
Uploaded documents and generated downloadable documents remain available for 7 days. Download files you need to keep.
Images you choose to keep do not automatically expire while the account and service remain available, subject to your storage allowance. The default allowance is 1 GB per user and may be adjusted by an administrator. Video generation is available to eligible accounts; private videos are retained for 30 days. Video usage has no plan discount.

Before you pay

Your purchase confirmation must state the total price, currency, any applicable taxes, Credits granted, delivery arrangements, subscription period and refund terms. Do not pay based on an unspecified price or assume that a plan includes unlimited generations.
