Credit-based pricing, explained
Why an AI coworker is priced in credits, what a credit buys, and how top-ups keep heavy weeks flexible.
AI work costs real compute, so pricing has to reflect usage without punishing you for a busy week.
What a credit is
One credit is one message — every request or follow-up you send spends a credit. A plan grants a monthly allotment; simple to reason about.
Why credits, not seats
Seat pricing charges for who's logged in. Credit pricing charges for work actually done — fairer for a small team where one person might run a lot and another a little.
Top-ups for heavy weeks
When a big push burns through the monthly credits, you buy a one-off pack rather than jumping a whole tier. You're never blocked mid-week, and you never overpay for a slow month.
The point is to keep the meter honest: you pay for the work you get, and nothing you don't.
