How credits work

You start with 100 free credits, and get more every month.

Credits are how Hewly counts work. Every price is shown on the button before you tap it, and anything that fails is refunded.

Step by step

Your balance is at the bottom of the menu. Tap the number to see where every credit went.
Every button that costs credits says how many before you tap it.
A generation that fails, one you cancel while it's still waiting, or one we hold back for review costs nothing — the credits come straight back.
On a very busy day Hewly may stop starting new models until midnight UTC. You're told before anything is charged, and your credits stay where they are.

Look all around your model — Turn it, zoom in, and check the mesh and the paint.
Pick from 4 pictures first — See 4 drawings of your idea for 8 credits, then build only the one you like.
Write a prompt that works — Name one thing, and say its colours and what it's made of.
