- The credit help page says AI voiceovers do not consume generation credits, while the pricing FAQ includes voice in its credit-usage description. Confirm the current in-app treatment for voice-heavy work.
- Unlimited AI-writing wording does not mean unlimited image or video generation. Include successful regenerations and editing time when calculating cost per accepted asset.
