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

Every account has 120 free minutes a month: they refill on the first of the month and do not stack. That is enough for a two-hour set, and a first set always finishes whatever its length. 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 Minutes to buy more. The options:

| Plan | Price | What you get | |---|---|---| | Packs | €5 for 300 minutes, up to €45 for 4000 | One-time, never expire | | Opener | €5/month (€55/year) | 400 minutes a month, permanent storage, nothing else | | Headliner | €9/month (€99/year) | 15 hours a month, Rekordbox and playlist export, follows, deep scan, permanent storage | | Studio | €19/month (€209/year) | 30 hours a month, royalty reports, white-label embeds, API access |

Minutes from packs never expire. A plan refills its monthly minutes each billing period; runs deduct against that allowance first, then against purchased minutes.

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.
