Credits and usage
A credit is roughly one short generation, and every AI action spends from your monthly allowance — replies, DM drafts, summaries, rewrites, planner posts and image prompts alike. The monthly allowance resets each billing cycle and does not roll over, while credits bought on top of a plan do roll over. Runs made on your own AI provider key spend no credits at all.
What a credit is
Roughly one short generation. Longer outputs use a few, because they cost more to produce.
Every plan includes the whole product. Tiers differ in how many credits you get each month, not in which features you can reach. Current amounts are on the pricing page — they are not repeated here, because a number in two places is a number that goes stale in one of them.
What spends credits
Every AI action:
| Action | Spends |
|---|---|
| A comment or post reply | Yes |
| A DM or email reply | Yes |
| Summarising a thread or a selection | Yes |
| Explaining a selection | Yes |
| Improving or rewriting a draft | Yes |
| Refining a draft you already generated | Yes — it is a fresh generation |
| Generating a planner post | Yes |
| Generating an image prompt | Yes |
| Making a draft longer or shorter | Yes |
| Moving planner cards, filtering, searching your library | No |
| Editing settings, voice, context or rules | No |
Refining counts. It is cheaper than regenerating in effort, not in credits.
The cycle
Your monthly allowance resets each billing cycle. It does not roll over — an unused allowance does not accumulate.
Credits you buy on top of a plan do roll over and do not expire. The two behave differently on purpose: the allowance is what your plan gives you each month, and a top-up is something you bought.
Running out
Generation stops until your allowance resets or you top up.
Nothing is deleted and nothing is reconfigured. Your settings, your voice, your rules, your planner and your library are untouched, and everything that does not require a generation keeps working.
If you have added your own AI provider key, runs on that key keep working, because they never drew on your balance in the first place.
Where to see your usage
Your dashboard shows what you have used over a range you choose, broken down so you can see where it went. Your library shows individual generations.
Cost figures and model detail are visible only to accounts with the appropriate permission. Where you do not have it, those columns are absent rather than blanked — the restriction is applied where the data is served rather than hidden in the interface.
A generation made on your own provider key shows a blank cost rather than zero. Zero would assert it was free, when in fact your provider billed you for it.
Teams
A workspace draws on the owner's balance. Members do not carry separate allowances, so one person's heavy week is visible in the same pool as everyone else's.
Changing plans
Upgrade or downgrade at any time. The change applies from your next billing cycle, and your voice, rules, planner and history carry over untouched.
Monthly and yearly plans can be cancelled at any time and remain active to the end of the period you have already paid for. Lifetime licences carry a 30-day money-back guarantee.
If your credits are going faster than expected, check your default length before anything else. A long default spends several credits where short would have spent one, on every reply.
