Understanding credits
How credits work, what they cost, and how to top up.
All guides
Credits are ryser.id's currency for running analyses. Each minute of audio costs 1 credit.
How credits are calculated
When you submit a set, ryser.id calculates the audio duration and deducts credits when the run finishes. A 90-minute set costs 90 credits.
If a run fails before completing, credits are refunded automatically.
Free credits
New accounts receive 90 free credits on signup — enough to analyze a 90-minute set. No credit card required.
Free copies from public sets
If someone already analyzed the same URL and made their set public, ryser.id offers you a free copy of their result. You get the full setlist instantly at no credit cost. You can also choose to run a fresh analysis if you prefer.
If the existing result is private (only that user can see it), ryser.id creates a copy for you silently — credits are still deducted at the normal rate.
Topping up
Go to Account to purchase additional credits. Two options:
| Plan | Price | Credits | |---|---|---| | Pay-as-you-go | €0.05 / credit | Any amount | | Pro monthly | €7/month | Unlimited | | Pro annual | €60/year | Unlimited |
Pro subscribers pay once per billing period and have no per-run credit deductions.
Checking your balance
Your current balance is shown:
- At the bottom of the New run page
- In the sidebar footer
- On the Account page with full transaction history
When your balance drops to 5 credits or below, the New run page shows a warning and a direct link to top up.
Admin accounts
Admin accounts have unlimited credits and are exempt from rate limiting. They are marked internally and do not interact with the credit system.
