# Buying Coins on Redraw: how one-time Coin purchases work

# One-Time Coin Purchases: How They Work and When They're Worth It
You're finishing an important project, but you've run out of **Coins** before your subscription renews. You still have a few images to deliver, and you're wondering: do you need to upgrade your plan, or can you simply purchase more Coins?
Redraw's **One-Time Coin Purchases** allow you to continue using the platform without changing your subscription. You can purchase additional credits that are automatically added to your account and can be used as long as your subscription remains active.
In this article, you'll learn how one-time Coin purchases work, when they're worth considering, and the main rules for using them.
## What Are Redraw Coins?
**Coins** are the credits used to access Redraw's features.
Whenever you use a feature that requires credits, such as rendering, image editing, video generation, 3D model creation, or other tools available on the platform, a specific number of Coins is deducted.
Each tool displays the number of Coins required before generation, allowing you to keep track of your credit usage.
## How Do One-Time Coin Purchases Work?
In addition to the Coins included in your monthly subscription, Redraw allows you to purchase additional Coin packages.
Once your purchase is confirmed, the Coins are automatically added to your account and can be used with compatible platform features, **provided that your subscription is active**.
The purchase **does not change your current plan**, modify your subscription, or affect your renewal date. It simply provides additional credits when you need to generate more images or videos, or use other tools beyond your monthly allowance.
**Important:** Purchasing additional Coins does not replace the need to maintain an active subscription to use Redraw's features.
## Who Can Purchase Coins?
Coin purchases are available for eligible plans as indicated on the platform.
When this option is available for your account, it will appear directly in Redraw, allowing you to purchase additional packages as needed.
## Do I Need to Change My Plan to Purchase More Coins?
**No.**
If you only need a temporary increase in your available credits, you can purchase additional Coins without changing your subscription.
This can be useful when you experience a temporary increase in demand, such as:
* Delivering an important project;
* Managing a higher number of clients;
* Using models that require more Coins;
* Generating a large number of images within a single month.
## Which Coins Are Used First?
Whenever you have Coins available from your monthly subscription, those Coins will be used **before** any Coins purchased separately.
The consumption order is:
1. Monthly subscription Coins;
2. Coins purchased separately.
This system helps preserve your separately purchased Coins while you still have credits available from your current subscription.
## How Long Are Purchased Coins Available?
Coins purchased separately are valid for **12 months** from the date they are added to your account.
However, **these Coins can only be used while you have an active Redraw subscription**.
This means that even if your purchased Coins are still within their 12-month validity period, you will not be able to use them while your subscription is inactive or canceled.
Coins included in your subscription follow the rules of your selected plan and are renewed according to your billing cycle.
## Do Subscription Coins Roll Over?
**No.**
Coins included in your monthly subscription do not roll over to the next billing cycle. Any unused subscription Coins expire according to your plan's terms.
## When Is It Worth Purchasing Additional Coins?
One-time Coin purchases are often a good option when you only need a temporary boost in credits.
For example:
* A project requires more generations than expected;
* You want to use models that consume more Coins;
* You've taken on new clients before your subscription renews;
* You need to finish a project without interrupting your workflow.
In these situations, purchasing additional Coins may be more convenient than changing your subscription plan.
Remember that additional Coins can only be used while your subscription remains active.
## When Is Upgrading Your Plan a Better Option?
One-time Coin purchases are designed to supplement your subscription during periods of higher demand. However, if you frequently need to purchase additional Coins, upgrading to a higher-tier plan may be worth considering.
Higher-tier plans offer more monthly Coins, access to exclusive features, and potentially better value for users who rely on Redraw regularly.
If you consistently run out of Coins before your subscription renews, upgrading may be a more cost-effective solution for your workflow.
## Does Purchasing Additional Coins Change My Subscription?
**No.**
One-time Coin purchases are separate from your subscription. When you purchase an additional package:
* Your current plan remains unchanged;
* Your subscription price stays the same;
* Your renewal date does not change;
* Your existing benefits remain the same.
However, you must maintain an active subscription to use your purchased Coins.
## Can I Purchase Coins More Than Once?
**Yes.**
As long as this feature is available for your account, you can purchase additional Coin packages whenever needed.
Each purchased package has its own 12-month validity period, starting from the date the credits are added to your account.
## How Do I Purchase Coins on Redraw?
If this option is available for your plan, go to your **user profile** and find the **My Redraw Coins** section.
Select your preferred package and complete the payment.
Once your purchase is confirmed, the Coins will be automatically added to your account balance.
## Can Coins Be Transferred to Another Account?
It depends on your plan.
For **individual plans**, Coins are linked to the account where they were added and cannot be transferred, sold, or converted into cash.
For **Business plans**, Coins are part of the plan's shared balance and can be used by members assigned by the administrator.
Each member maintains their own account, projects, and usage history while using the Coins available through the Business plan.
## Are Purchased Coins Refundable?
Once they have been added to your account, Coins purchased separately are non-refundable, except in cases of technical errors demonstrably attributable to Redraw or when otherwise required by applicable law.
## How to Make the Most of Your Coins
A few simple practices can help reduce unnecessary attempts and make better use of your credits.
Before generating an image:
* Use a well-prepared input image;
* Check your camera framing;
* Use the **Image Evaluation** feature when available;
* Write a clear and specific prompt when needed;
* Choose the model that best suits your goal;
* Use reference images when appropriate.
These small adjustments can increase your chances of achieving a good result within the first few generations.
