In this article, we will introduce ComfyUI's credit management features, including how to obtain, use, and view credits.
Credits
coins
import SettingsMenuContext from "/snippets/interface/settings-menu-context.mdx"
The credit system was added to support the Partner Nodes, as calling closed-source AI models requires token consumption, so proper credit management is necessary. By default, the credits interface is not displayed. Please first log in to your ComfyUI account in Settings -> User, and then you can view your associated account's credit information in Settings -> Credits.
ComfyUI will always remain fully open-source and free for local users.

Frequently Asked Questions
Credits are not intended to be used as a negative balance or credit line. However, due to race conditions where partner nodes don't always report costs before execution, a single execution may consume more credits than your remaining balance and temporarily result in a negative balance after completion. When your balance is negative, you will not be able to run Partner Nodes until you top up and restore a positive balance. Please ensure you have enough credits before making API calls.
Currently, we do not support refunds
Click on `Settings` -> `Credits` to see your current balance and access the `Credit History` entry
You can log into the same account on multiple devices, but we do not support sharing credits with other users
Check the price badge on the API node to estimate the cost before running it. Actual costs can vary based on image size, generation quantity, and other parameters.
