What are credits?
Credits are a single balance that powers everything we run on your behalf that has a real cost: workflow automations, AI agents, and the AI chat. Instead of juggling separate quotas for “automation runs” and “AI tokens,” you have one simple balance to keep an eye on. 1 credit = $1 of usage. A credit is just a dollar of work, so your balance is easy to reason about — no abstract units to convert.How far does a credit go?
Cost scales with the work. Everyday automation and quick AI messages cost a tiny fraction of a credit; large, multi-step AI agent tasks cost more. Here’s the rough shape:For most teams, standard automations are effectively free — you’ll only make a noticeable dent in your balance when you lean on AI features or run heavy code nodes. That’s by design: the included credits are meant to let you build without watching a meter.
How AI usage is metered
When an action calls an AI model, we measure the exact tokens used and price them at the model provider’s published rates, then convert that dollar amount straight into credits — so what you spend tracks the real cost of the work, not a marked-up internal rate. A short chat message costs a fraction of a cent. A large agent task — say, configuring ten workspace objects — makes many model calls over a growing context, so it can add up to a dollar or more. You’re billed for what you actually use, down to the token. Cost varies by model: a lightweight model is dramatically cheaper per message than a top-tier reasoning model. You can see the per-action breakdown — including which model was used — in Settings → Billing.What’s included
Every subscription includes credits, and the amount depends on your billing cycle, not your plan:
These credits are designed to cover everyday automation comfortably. Five credits covers tens of thousands of standard automation steps or hundreds of quick AI messages — though a handful of large, multi-step agent tasks can use it up faster. You can top up at any time (see below).
Credit rollover
Unused credits roll over automatically to the next billing period.- Cap: Rollover is capped at one period’s full allocation, so you’ll never carry over more than your plan provides per period.
- Visibility: When you have rollover credits, they appear as a separate Rollover Credits line in Settings → Billing, alongside your Total Available balance.
Monitoring Usage
Keep track of your balance and where it’s going:- Go to Settings → Billing
- See your remaining credits and usage for the current period
- Drill into the breakdown to see which workflows and AI actions are consuming credits — and which models AI actions used
