Important Notes
Credits are purchased from the Account > Top Up section of your Snappic dashboard.
Depending on your plan (Starter, Business, or Scale), some free credits may be included.
Each credit represents one use of its specific feature (e.g., one SMS, one background removal).
USA and Canada users receive free text message credits, while international users need to purchase credits or connect a personal Twilio account.- Snappic provides automated email notifications when your credit balance is running low, ensuring uninterrupted service.
Credit rollover policies ensure that unused credits remain tied to your account when upgrading your service package.
Text Credits
Text credits allow you to enable SMS sharing at your event, giving guests the ability to receive their photo booth sessions via text message.
Free for USA and Canada users.
Required for international users unless integrated with Twilio.
Free text credits by package:
Starter Plan: 30 monthly credits or 300 annually
Business / Scale: 100 per event, 250 monthly, or 3,000 annually
This makes text credits essential for ensuring seamless media sharing outside North America.
Virtual Booth / Uploader & Watch Folder Credits
Snappic combines Virtual Booth and Uploader Credits into one top-up option, so you can use the credits interchangeably depending on your event setup.
Virtual Booth
Virtual Booth creates a remote, browser-based booth experience where users can capture photos just like at a physical booth. It’s perfect for online events, conferences, and hybrid setups.
Enterprise Event Package with Virtual Booth: 400 free credits (non-transferable)
Enterprise Monthly/Annual with Virtual Booth add-on: 300 free credits (non-transferable)
Uploader / Watch Folder
The Uploader App allows you to import content from external software (e.g., DSLR-based booths, 360 booths) into your Snappic event gallery. This enables you to use Snappic’s microsite, analytics, and sharing features with third-party capture systems.
Background Removal Credits
Background Removal eliminates the need for a green screen by digitally removing and replacing image backgrounds.
1 credit = 1 background removal per image
Useful for branded backdrops, themed activations, and unique event designs
Provides a polished and professional finish for photos without extra hardware
Background Removal Credits are linked to your account and will remain available after upgrading your package.
AI Sharing Credits
AI Sharing transforms the guest experience by using facial recognition to identify and deliver all media that includes a registered participant.
Once registered, guests automatically receive every photo, GIF, or video they appear in
Media is delivered to their personal gallery via email or SMS
Eliminates the need for manual sharing at the booth
Requires AI Sharing credits for activation
AI Sharing Credits are not included in Enterprise event packages and need to be purchased separately.
This is one of Snappic’s most advanced features, streamlining the guest journey while increasing engagement.
Estimation Tips for Successful Event Planning
To avoid interruptions during your event, it’s essential to estimate credit needs accurately. Use these tips as a guide:
Determine the number of guests and event duration.
Identify the type of credit usage, such as photo uploads only or AI processing.
Review past event credits usage if available.
Plan a buffer by purchasing additional credits (e.g., 20% extra) for unexpected needs.
Credit Usage Scenarios
Credit needs vary based on event specifics, such as the number of guests, event type, and platform features utilized. Below are some scenarios to guide your planning:
Events with Photo Uploads Only:
Each uploaded image requires 1 credit, and each AI Sharing action requires an additional credit.
For an event with two photo stations and 200 guests, a minimum of 300 credits is recommended.
General Event Planning:
For most events, 400-500 credits are sufficient.
Pricing details and credit purchase options are available under the Account tab or in the pricing guide.
Ongoing or Unpredictable Events:
For larger or ongoing events, it’s advisable to purchase at least 1000 credits to cover unexpected requirements, especially with a significant guest count.
AI-FX Credits
AI-FX brings next-level creativity to your event with AI-powered filters and effects.
Credits are consumed based on effect complexity (1–6 credits per image at live events)
Testing effects on the dashboard consumes 0.25 credits per image
Features include fantasy-style transformations, artistic filters, and creative effects such as style transfers or face swaps【5:3†How to Set Up AI-FX (AI Experience)†L50-L65】
