How do I add credits to my AI app?

Create a currency called credits, link it to your subscription and to one-time packs, and set how many each grants. Subscribers get their allowance at every renewal. Pack buyers get theirs at purchase. Your backend reads and deducts the balance through the server-side API.

How do I charge tokens per generation?

Read the balance through the server-side API before the generation, then deduct once it completes. Charging on completion means a failed render never costs a user tokens. Adapty records the grant and the spend on the subscriber profile.

Do I need a backend to use virtual currencies?

Yes. Adapty grants credits and keeps the balance, and your server reads and spends it through the server-side API. There is no SDK method for balances yet, so the spend call comes from your backend.

How many virtual currencies can I create?

Up to 20 per app. Most apps run one. Some run two, a soft currency and a hard currency side by side.

Can a user spend credits on another device?

Identify the user first. A balance belongs to one profile, so an anonymous user keeps their credits on the device where they earned them. Once you identify the user, the balance follows them across devices.

How does Adapty compare to RevenueCat for virtual currency?

Both grant currency on purchase and renewal, expire unused credits at the end of a cycle, and track balances. RevenueCat reads balances from their SDKs. Adapty reads through the server-side API.
