Credits & Billing
AI assessments consume credits, a unified currency that abstracts away LLM token costs. Credits fund assessment runs, AI-assisted issue review, and template generation.
Credit Pools
Each organization has two credit pools:
| Pool | Description |
|---|---|
| Monthly allowance | Granted automatically each month based on your license tier. Resets monthly. |
| Purchased credits | Bought through Stripe. Do not expire. |
Credits are consumed monthly-first: the monthly allowance is spent before purchased credits, keeping purchased credits as a reserve.
Purchasing Credits
- Navigate to the AI Assessments section
- Open the Credits panel
- Click Purchase Credits
- Complete checkout via Stripe
Screenshots use fictional demonstration data.
Subscription Plans
Subscriptions include a monthly credit allowance and are managed through Stripe:
- Subscribe to a plan from the billing section
- Manage your subscription via the Stripe billing portal
- View status of your current subscription (active, past due, canceled)
WARNING
If a subscription enters past due status, there is a 30-day grace period before billing is frozen. Keep your payment method current to avoid interruption.
Credit Escrow
When a run starts, credits are escrowed (reserved from your balance) to cover the estimated cost. If the run uses fewer credits, the difference is returned. Unused escrowed credits are released if the run is canceled.
Monitoring Usage
The Credits panel shows:
- Current balance (monthly + purchased)
- Monthly allowance and reset date
- Recent credit transactions
- Per-run credit consumption
