Credits, explained

Every question costs credits, depending on how hard the council works. Plans include a monthly allowance; nothing is ever charged on top.

Questions per month

Credits you need each month

110–250

Smart costs 3 when two models agree and 10 when the full council runs.

Pro Max fits

800 credits a month for $199, even if every Smart question needs the full council.

Pro is enough if most Smart questions are answered on the fast path; questions pause if credits run out.

Very long documents read in full can cost more; the estimate is shown before you ask.

Allowance

Good to know

They reset monthly
Credits reset at the start of each calendar month. Unused credits don't carry over.
Questions stop, nothing is charged
When the month's credits are used up, new questions are paused until the reset. There is no surprise bill.
Extra credits on request
Need more this month? We add extra credits to your account for the rest of the month.
Shown before you ask
The cost of a question is shown before you send it. Very long documents read in full can cost more.

Compare plans on the pricing page, read the credits guide, or talk to us about a larger allowance.
