Understanding Reverie's Credit System - Transparent Pricing and Generous Rewards

Introduction

As an advanced AI character interaction platform, Reverie employs a transparent and fair credit consumption strategy while establishing a comprehensive reward system to benefit our users. This article explains how our credit system works, helping users understand why credit consumption might sometimes feel faster than expected, and how to earn more credits through our reward programs.

Credit Consumption Mechanism: Complete Token Transparency

Why Do We Use Separate Token and Credit Systems?

Reverie adopts a token and credit separation design philosophy to maximize transparency:

• Token Count: Returned by AI model providers - we never modify or hide these numbers
• Credit Consumption: Calculated based on actual token usage and model costs
• Complete Records: Users can view token usage and corresponding credit consumption for every conversation

This design allows users to clearly understand their usage patterns and avoids "black box" billing models.

Why Do Different Models Consume Different Credits?

Reverie's credit consumption is based on actual token usage and model costs. We never artificially adjust token numbers. The calculation formula is:

Credit Consumption = Token Count × Model Multiplier

Different AI models have vastly different costs, so we set different multipliers:

Our Cost Reality: Operating at a Loss for User Experience

Important Note: Based on current LLM provider pricing, some of our model pricing is actually operating at severe losses:

• Claude 4 Sonnet: Provider costs are extremely high, our 10x multiplier still cannot cover true costs
• User-First Principle: We choose to absorb losses to ensure users can experience the most advanced AI technology
• Long-term Investment: We believe that by providing quality service, we can build a sustainable business model
• Cost Transparency: We fully display usage in both token and credit records

Why Sometimes Credits Seem to Drain Quickly?

If you notice credits consuming faster than expected, possible reasons include:

1. Longer AI Responses: The longer the model's response, the more tokens consumed
2. Extended Conversation History: The system maintains conversation context, longer chats increase token usage
3. Special Memory Content: The system remembers important information to provide better experiences, requiring additional tokens
4. Model Selection: Using advanced models like Claude 4 consumes significantly more credits

We display actual token counts and corresponding credit consumption in credit records to ensure complete transparency.
