Credits: a caption is 1, a picture 5, a film 40, and a carousel renders two pictures. Business is $499 a month with 3,500 credits.

How the PlanMedia side is worked out

PlanMedia charges in credits. A caption is 1 credit, a picture is 5 and a film is 40; a carousel renders two pictures. So a single post or story is 6 credits, a carousel 11, and adding a film to a piece adds 40. Credits for a failed render are returned.

Business includes 3,500 credits a month, which leaves room for remakes, extra films and one-off campaigns on top of a regular month.

What a typical month uses

Twenty pieces, five of them carousels, plus four films.
