Credits & plans
Credits measure usage across chat, Tros, images, and heavier tool runs. Your plan grants a monthly pool plus a short rolling window to smooth bursts.
How credits work
1 credit = 1,000 tokens of model input and output, metered on actual usage reported by the provider and debited after the run. A short reply costs 1–2 credits; generating a landing page is roughly 10.
- Free — 200 credits/month, 40 credits per rolling 5-hour window. $0.
- Pro — 5,000 credits/month, 500 credits per rolling 5-hour window. $19/month.
- Team — 20,000 shared credits/month, 2,000 shared credits per rolling 5-hour window. $99/month.
Credits reset monthly and don't roll over.
The 5-hour rolling window
Separate from the monthly pool: inside any rolling 5 hours you can't spend more than your window allowance, even with monthly credits remaining. It smooths bursts so one long session doesn't eat the month.
- Free — 40 credits per 5 hours
- Pro — 500 credits per 5 hours
- Team — 2,000 shared credits per 5 hours
Hit the window but not the month? Wait for it to roll — usually under an hour of lighter use.
If you run out
At zero, generations stop immediately with an "out of credits" notice — nothing is queued or partially run. To keep working: upgrade for a bigger pool, or wait for the monthly reset (or the 5-hour window to roll, if that's the limit you hit).

What typically uses credits
- Chat and Tro replies (metered on tokens)
- Image generation — metered like everything else: debited after the run on actual tokens used, so a failed generation that produces nothing costs nothing
- Cloud computer sessions — the browsing the Tro does on your behalf counts toward the same pool
- Larger multi-step tool runs (websites, long research)
