How credits work — what costs and what's free | yomeru.ai
1 credit = 1 page processed. Word lookups, grammar, translations, and all AI features are always free. Plan comparison and credit tips inside.
Credits are simple: 1 credit = 1 page or image processed. Everything else on the platform — word lookups, grammar labs, translations, example sentences, kanji details — is free.
Most features are free
Credits only apply when you process new content. Once a page is processed, every AI feature you use on that page costs nothing. Word lookups, grammar labs, context translations, example sentences, sentence analysis, kanji details, and favorites are always free on every plan.

| Action | Cost |
|---|---|
| Process 1 manga page (image) | 1 credit |
| Process 1 novel page (image) | 1 credit |
| Process 1 text file or pasted text | 1 credit |
| Everything else (Word Lab, grammar, translations, examples, kanji, favorites, library storage) | Free |
Plans
| Plan | Credits | Rollover | Payment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expedition (free) | 10/month | No rollover — resets to 10 each month | Free |
| Foundation | 500/month | Unused credits accumulate up to 1,500 max | Monthly subscription |
| Lifetime | 500/month | Unused credits accumulate up to 1,500 max | One-time purchase |
The Expedition plan is a great way to try yomeru.ai without commitment. Foundation and Lifetime both give you 500 credits per month and let unused credits stack up to 1,500 — the only difference is how you pay.
Checking your balance
Your current credit count is visible in the bottom-left corner of the app whenever you are logged in. You can also see it on the home page dashboard.
Running low?
If you are out of credits before the month resets, you have a few options.
Wait it out. Credits refresh at the start of each billing cycle. In the meantime, you can still use every AI feature on pages you have already processed.
Upgrade your plan. Foundation and Lifetime both give you 500 credits per month — a big jump from the free 10. Lifetime is a single payment with no recurring charges.
Getting the most from your credits
Process the content you actually plan to read and study. Batch-upload a full chapter at once so you can read sequentially. And remember that once a page is processed, all the learning tools on that page are free forever — so come back to previously processed pages anytime without spending another credit.
