How credits are used per product
What each product type costs in credits, why clipart counts round up to the next tier, and what you are never charged for.
You pay once per finished product, not per step. One price covers the whole run: generation, print preparation, mockups, the listing copy, and delivery to your Drive and your Etsy draft. There is no separate charge for upscaling, for each mockup, or for writing the listing.
Prices are per set, not per image. A 20-image clipart set has one price, not twenty.
Remember the conversion: 1 credit = $0.01, so 55 credits is 55 cents.
Wall art, posters and greeting cards
One design, priced by the generation model you choose when you launch. The picker shows the exact price before you run.
| Product | GPT Image 2.5 Flare (default) | Ideogram · Grok · Flux 2 Pro · Nano Banana 2 Lite · Recraft V4.1 · GPT Image 2.5 Flare Premium | Nano Banana 2 | GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst Max |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wall art | 55 cr ($0.55) | 60 cr ($0.60) | 65 cr ($0.65) | 80 cr ($0.80) |
| Poster | 55 cr ($0.55) | 60 cr ($0.60) | 65 cr ($0.65) | 80 cr ($0.80) |
| Greeting card | 55 cr ($0.55) | 60 cr ($0.60) | 60 cr ($0.60) | 80 cr ($0.80) |
Wall art includes all five print ratios at 300 DPI. Posters include the print-ready master used for fulfillment. Greeting cards include the folded 5x7 print-ready PDF. All three include the mockup gallery and the listing.
Clipart sets
Priced by how many images you want, which format you need, and which model draws them. On GPT Image 2.5 Flare, the default, transparent PNG and white-background JPG cost the same, because the model renders the transparency itself. On the other models a transparent PNG costs slightly more, because of the background-removal pass. Each cell is JPG / PNG.
| Images | GPT Image 2.5 Flare (default) | Flux 2 Klein | P-Image | Recraft V4.1 Flash | Ideogram (typography) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 10 | 70 / 70 cr | 65 / 70 cr | 70 / 75 cr | 70 / 75 cr | 75 / 80 cr |
| Up to 15 | 75 / 75 cr | 70 / 75 cr | 75 / 80 cr | 75 / 80 cr | 85 / 90 cr |
| Up to 20 | 80 / 80 cr | 75 / 80 cr | 80 / 85 cr | 80 / 85 cr | 90 / 100 cr |
| Up to 25 | 85 / 85 cr | 80 / 85 cr | 85 / 90 cr | 85 / 90 cr | 95 / 110 cr |
Counts round up to the next tier. Asking for 12 images costs the same as asking for 15, and 21 costs the same as 25. If you are near a boundary, take the extra images: they are already paid for.
SVG sets
Two quality levels. Standard is the default and suits flat shapes and bold designs. Premium is drawn as vector from the start and is the better choice for lettering and intricate designs.
| Designs | Standard (default) | Premium |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 55 cr ($0.55) | 60 cr ($0.60) |
| Up to 3 | 60 cr ($0.60) | 75 cr ($0.75) |
| Up to 5 | 60 cr ($0.60) | 95 cr ($0.95) |
| Up to 8 | 65 cr ($0.65) | 115 cr ($1.15) |
| Up to 10 | 70 cr ($0.70) | 135 cr ($1.35) |
Counts round up here too. Both levels deliver true vector files, and the PNG companion files are included.
Uploading your own artwork
Two routes, depending on whether you want Elistit to prepare the files or just to list them.
| Route | What happens | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Bring your own art, wall art, poster or greeting card | Your image is print-prepared, mocked up, and listed | 55 cr ($0.55) |
| Bring your own art, clipart | Your set (10 to 25 images) is processed and listed | 60 cr ($0.60), any count |
| Custom upload | Your finished files are listed and delivered as they are, no processing | 40 cr ($0.40) |
Bringing your own art skips generation, so it costs less than creating from scratch.
Personalized products
Personalized listings are authored once and then rendered per buyer. You are charged 50 credits ($0.50) per order, on first approval, not when you create the listing. Authoring the template costs whatever the underlying product type costs.
You are charged once per order. Regenerating an order before you approve it does not cost again.
Reusing work you already made
Building from an existing piece is cheaper than starting over.
| Action | Cost |
|---|---|
| Recrop to another ratio | 1 cr ($0.01) |
| Restyle from a parent design | 30% of the original cost |
| Remix from a parent design | 50% of the original cost |
On a 55-credit wall art piece, a restyle is 17 credits and a remix is 28.
What you are never charged for
- Writing or refining a brief, and previewing ideas
- Mockups, upscaling, print preparation, and listing copy (all included in the product price)
- Market and trend research, the shop dashboard, and analytics
- Any run that fails. Credits are refunded automatically.
Planning a month
Some worked examples, at standard quality:
| If you make | Per item | Starter ($26.40) | Grow ($53.90) | Studio ($108.90) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wall art only | $0.55 | 48 pieces | 98 pieces | 198 pieces |
| 20-image PNG clipart sets (default model) | $0.80 | 33 sets | 67 sets | 136 sets |
| 5-design SVG sets (Standard) | $0.60 | 44 sets | 89 sets | 181 sets |
Most sellers mix product types, so treat these as edges rather than targets. The Credits page in the app tracks your actual burn rate and tells you how long the balance will last at your current pace.
Seeing what you spent
Billing > Credits lists every transaction with the product it paid for, the amount in both credits and dollars, and your running balance. Filter to credits or debits to separate what came in from what went out.
