How much does LuviBot cost?
Each LuviBot answer costs credits for the processing it needed, rounded up to a whole credit (at least 1), and the amount appears under the answer. Generations are charged separately, at the price on their approval card, and only when they finish.
Answers
Each answer is charged for the processing it needed: reading your message and any images, checking models and prices, writing the prompt. The cost is rounded up to a whole credit, at least 1, and shown in small text under the answer. Most answers cost between 1 and 9 credits; longer jobs cost more.
An answer that doesn't finish costs nothing. That covers errors, answers that stop halfway or take too long, and content the model refuses to work with. You then see This answer didn't finish, so no credits were taken.
Generations
A generation is paid for separately, at the price on its approval card. If LuviBot mentions a price while you are talking, the price on the card is the one that counts.
Credits for a generation are taken only when the finished result is saved. A generation that fails costs nothing, and a card you cancel costs nothing.
When your balance is low
LuviBot needs at least 10 credits in your balance to start an answer. Below that, top up on your account page and try again.
Keeping spending in hand
Under Rules & limits you can set an upper limit, above which every card asks you to confirm twice, and a Credit cap per generation rule. Auto-approve stays off until you turn it on.
Frequently asked
Are questions about LUVI free?
No. Every finished answer is charged, including answers about how LUVI works. A short question with a short answer usually costs only a few credits.
Why did one answer cost more than another?
The price follows the work behind the answer. Comparing several models, reading their settings and prompt guides, or looking at your images all take more processing than a quick reply.
Can LuviBot spend credits on generations without asking?
Only if you set an auto-approve limit under Rules & limits. Without one, every generation waits for you to press Generate.
