Credits & Pricing

TokPortal uses a credit-based system as its unified currency. The same credit balance is shared between the API and the web UI — there is no separate API billing.

Credit Costs

Operation	Cost
Account creation	25 credits
Video slot	2 credits per video
Advanced Niche Warming	3 credits per niche target (buy 3-30 targets, multiples of 3; targets configurable after creation on the bundle)
Niche warming (review-based, being deprecated)	7 credits
Deep warming (discontinued — new orders rejected)	40 credits
Video editing	3 credits per edit slot
Comment moderation	25 credits
Sound volume control	1 credit per video

How Credits Are Debited

• Bundle creation — Credits for account creation, video slots, warming, editing, and moderation are calculated server-side and debited atomically when the bundle is created. The client never determines the cost; the server computes the total from the bundle configuration.
• Add video slots — When you add video slots to an existing bundle, credits are debited immediately.
• Add edit slots — When you add edit slots to an existing bundle, credits are debited immediately.
• Sound volume control — 1 credit is debited the first time volume_original_sound or volume_added_sound is set on a video. Subsequent updates to the same fields on the same video are free.
• No refunds on unpublish — Unpublishing an account does not refund credits.

Get Credit Costs

Retrieve the current cost table programmatically:

curl -X GET https://app.tokportal.com/api/ext/credit-costs \
  -H "X-API-Key: sk_xxx"

{
  "data": {
    "account_creation": 25,
    "video_slot": 2,
    "niche_warming": 7,
    "deep_warming": 40,
    "video_editing": 3,
    "comment_moderation": 25,
    "sound_volume": 1,
    "repost_url": 1
  }
}

repost_url is the cost of adding a story repost link — charged once, the first time story_repost_url is set on a story.
