How Rec credits work: views, transcription, and narration

Rec uses one credit pool for viewing and AI processing. Recording and team seats are free. Each workspace receives 30 free credits per month, and additional credits cost $0.02 each.

Video playback

Each started minute someone else watches a video uses one credit. A three-minute recording watched in full by five people uses 15 credits, or $0.30. This example covers playback only. Watching your own recordings does not use credits.

Transcription and narration

Transcription uses one credit per video minute. AI voiceovers and language dubs use two credits per video minute for each generation. These charges draw from the same pool as viewed minutes. All features are included on every plan; using the free plan does not make AI processing unlimited.

For example, a three-minute transcription uses three credits. A three-minute voiceover uses six. Add 15 credits for the playback example above and those activities total 24 credits, or $0.48 before applying available free credits.

Free and paid credits

The 30 free credits refresh each month. Paid credits roll over. You can add a one-time top-up or set a monthly budget, so a workspace that needs more usage can add credits without buying seats for everyone.

Estimate the work you expect to do

Count both viewing and generation. A demo with many viewers has a different usage pattern from a library that frequently generates new voiceovers. The pricing page lists credit costs and includes a playback calculator.
