How can I earn free credits?

Updated September 24, 2026

Beyond your monthly allowance, you can earn extra credits from daily check-ins, daily challenges, voting in the Model Arena, referring friends who subscribe, and BudgetPixel’s creator programs. Most earned credits expire two months after they’re granted.

  • Daily check-in: check in every day for a streak bonus, from 20 up to 60 credits a day as your streak grows. Open the gift icon in the app.
  • Challenges: take part in daily challenges. Voting earns a participation reward and top-ranked entries earn more; each challenge shows its rewards.
  • Model Arena: vote on image pairs in the Arena. Signed-in members earn 50 credits a day after 10 votes.
  • Referrals: see how the referral program works.
  • Creator programs: earn credits, and cash for larger accounts, by promoting BudgetPixel on social media. See creator programs.

Earned credits are spent after your monthly allowance runs out. See how credits work.
