AI Credits and Budget Controls With No Surprise Bills

Every dollar of AI work is shown as plain credits, capped by a hard monthly budget you set. Optional overage is capped too, so spend can never run away.

Out of credits? Drafting pauses, monitoring keeps running. No surprise bills.

AI tools bill you in the dark

Most AI tools meter you in opaque tokens or vague "actions," then send a bill you cannot reconstruct. You cannot tell what drafting cost versus scanning, you cannot set a real ceiling, and a busy month quietly blows past what you planned to spend. For a B2B SaaS team running outreach across Reddit, X, LinkedIn, and YouTube, that uncertainty makes AI a line item nobody wants to defend.

  • ×Scanning cost hidden behind a per-reply number
How it works

How AI credit and budget tracking works

Step 1

Usage shown as honest credits

Every paid step (scanning conversations, triaging mentions, and drafting replies) is metered into one number: AI credits, where one credit is one cent of usage. The meter pools across all brands in your workspace, so you see exactly where spend goes, not a black box.

Step 2

A hard monthly budget

Your plan includes a fixed monthly allowance that resets each billing cycle. It is a real ceiling, enforced atomically before each run, so spend stops there. When credits run out, drafting pauses while monitoring keeps running, so you never miss a conversation.

Step 3

Capped overage, only if you want it

On paid plans you can opt into overage and set a "stop at $X" limit per cycle. Past your included credits, extra usage is billed at your plan's per-credit rate and pauses the moment you hit your cap. Leave it off and spend hard-stops at the allowance.

FAQ

AI credits & budget questions, answered

What happens when I run out of AI credits?
Drafting pauses for the rest of the billing cycle, but monitoring keeps running, so you still catch every relevant conversation. The meter shows you are out, and you can upgrade or enable capped overage to resume drafting. Credits reset at the start of the next cycle.
What is one AI credit worth?
One credit equals one cent of usage. It is an honest translation of real metered cost, covering scanning, triage, and drafting from a single budget, so the number on your meter maps directly to dollars instead of opaque tokens.
Can my bill ever exceed my plan?
Only if you choose. By default spend hard-stops at your included monthly allowance. If you opt into overage you set a "stop at $X per cycle" limit, and spend pauses exactly at that cap, so it can never run away.
Is the budget shared across brands and my team?
Yes. The monthly budget is pooled across all brands and workspaces on your account, so one transparent meter covers everything. Overage settings are account-level, and you can set a lower spend cap per brand if you want a tighter ceiling.
