What Are Credits?

Credits fuel AI tools — caption writing, content repurposing, hashtag suggestions, thread generation, and more. Each action costs a small number of credits.

How Many Credits Do I Get?

Free plan: 50 credits/month

Pro ($8/mo): 500 credits/month

Agency ($29/mo): 2,000 credits/month

Three Credit Pools

Credits come from three sources that stack:

1. **Monthly credits** — reset on the 1st of every month

2. **Earned credits** — from referrals and milestones (never expire)

3. **Purchased credits** — from one-time credit packs (never expire)

Monthly credits are consumed first, then earned, then purchased.

Credit Packs (One-Time Purchases)

100 credits: $1.99

300 credits: $4.99

750 credits: $9.99

2,000 credits: $19.99

Common Credit Costs

Write caption: 2 credits

Repurpose post: 5 credits

Hashtag suggestions: 1 credit

SOMA weekly generation: 75 credits
