How Document Generation Is Priced
It's priced like the rest of your conversation, not as a separate product
Generating a document doesn't switch you to a special "document pricing" tier. The cost is based on the same AI model that's been answering you in that conversation — so a document drafted during a Basic-tier chat and one drafted during an Expert-tier chat won't cost the same, because the underlying work differs in the same way it would for any message. See understanding chat tiers for what each tier means.
What drives the cost
- Which model is handling your conversation. More capable tiers cost more to run, document or not.
- How much content goes into drafting it. A document built from a long, detailed conversation involves more work than one built from a short exchange.
- What's actually produced. Like every paid request on SoulrisAI, you're charged for the real cost of the document that was drafted, not a flat estimate regardless of length.
The same hold-then-charge pattern as everything else
Before the document is drafted, SoulrisAI sets aside the maximum it could cost. Once drafting finishes, you're charged the real amount, and the rest is released back to your balance. See holds vs. settlement explained for exactly how this works — it's identical for documents, chat messages, and images.
Do I need to deposit separately for documents?
No. Document generation draws from the same wallet balance as everything else — chat, images, and video. There's no document-specific top-up required beyond having a funded wallet at all. See how to fund your wallet.
Is it available on the free tier?
No — document generation requires a funded wallet, the same as attachments and the higher chat tiers. See why the free tier doesn't include attachments or premium models.
What if generating the document fails?
You're not charged. The hold is released in full if drafting doesn't complete successfully — see how refunds work when a generation fails.
Can I see the exact price before generating?
Document pricing isn't shown as a fixed, pre-generation estimate the way image and video pricing is in the Studio, since it depends on the conversation itself — the clearest way to know what a document is likely to cost is to be mindful of your current model tier and the length of the conversation it's drawing from, the same intuition you'd already have about an ordinary chat message's cost in that tier.
