5,000 credits = up to 5,000 Nihongo Buddy replies
Each translated message or conversation reply uses one credit. Credits are applied to the LINE group that completes checkout.
5,000 starting credits
Every new group starts with 5,000 credits, with no card required and no commitment. Add the bot and start using it right away.
50-100 credits per week
Many groups use about 50-100 credits per week, so 5,000 credits can last a long time for casual group chat translation.
2,500 feedback credits
Groups can answer one product feedback question in the menu to receive an additional 2,500 free credits.
Payments are processed securely by Stripe only when a group chooses to buy more credits. Credits are not a subscription and are not automatically renewed.
Privacy-forward
Translation mode does not store message history.
Memory is optional and encrypted. When it is off, Nihongo Buddy replies without storing previous messages for future context.
