# Credits

What credits are, what costs them, and where they come from.

## Quick answers

- **Can I review other creators' ads?** Yes, once your own first ad is approved: tap Apply to review on Settings, under “Review ads for credits”. Then you call other creators' ads while they wait for their check. Your call never changes the ad, and calls that match Cracked's reviewer can earn credits. Next: Settings, https://cracked.app/settings
- **What are credits for?** Credits pay for making on Cracked's own maker, like its song maker; making with your own AI doesn't use them. They aren't money; from Pro up your level gives some free each month, and packs start at 60 credits for $20. Your AI shows the price and waits for your yes before spending any.

- **Is it free? Do I need to pay anything?** Making ads with your own AI is free, and so is a person's review of each one. You pay only if you choose to: credits for Cracked's own song maker, or Fast Track ($80): credits, the course, and a person's check on your first ad after a shop replies. Bringing and pitching shops is free. Next: Your AI, https://cracked.app/ai

Credits pay for making on Cracked's own maker. They aren't money: you can't cash them out or give them away. Your AI always shows the quote before it makes anything, so you never spend credits without saying yes.

## What costs credits

- An ad made by Cracked, voice included: your first one free, then 8 credits.
- A remix of a proven Cracked ad: 39 credits.
- Uploading your own ad and the voice: no credits.

## Where credits come from

- Every level gives free credits each month: Rookie 0, Pro 40, Closer 100, Legend 200, Cracked 400. Unused ones end with the month. See [Levels](https://cracked.app/help/levels.md).
- The [challenge](https://cracked.app/help/challenge.md) comes with 120 credits.
- Packs: 60 credits for $20, 150 credits for $50.

Credits aren't money: they can't be cashed out or given away. Each pack has a 7 days refund, which takes back the credits you haven't spent.
