Hi ! Thanks so much for trying Qolaba and for the kind words!

You're right — Tier 1 is designed for light usage, and how far 500 credits go depends a lot on which models you explore.

Here’s what you can do with 500 credits using efficient models:

125 images with ImageGen 4 (4 credits per image)
10 videos with Veo 2 (48 credits per video)
7,500 characters of text-to-speech (1 credit = 15 characters)
Up to ~2.7 million words using GPT-4o Mini (0.18 credits per 1,000 words)
~200,000 words using GPT-4.1

Please note: “words” refers to both input and output combined.

You can also create AI agents using Gemini 2.5 Flash, which is very credit-efficient and provides real business value — especially for automating tasks like summarizing documents, answering FAQs, or structuring content. It works really well even on Tier 1.

If you’re using heavier models like Claude Opus or Kling 2, those will consume credits quickly — we don’t recommend them for Tier 1 plans.

So just to clarify:
👉 For text + image needs and agent workflows, Tier 1 works well
👉 For video generation or heavier models, a higher tier is a better fit

Credit costs are dropping globally, and we’re working hard to reflect that in Qolaba. All improvements will directly benefit AppSumo LTD users.

Feel free to reach out with any additional feedback or concerns you might have.
