# AI Credits

> Information on how AI credits work and are billed.

## Overview

AI credits are what power Softr’s AI features like **Ask AI** and **Database AI Agents**. Credits are consumed based on the model, task type, and size of the input/output. This article explains how credits work, what happens if you run out, and how to add more.

### Included Credits

Every Softr plan — **including Free** — comes with a set number of AI credits each month.

* Free plan: 5 AI credits/month
* Basic plan: 10 AI credits/month
* Professional plan: 50 AI credits/month
* Business: 100 AI credits/month

Notes:

* Credits reset automatically each month.
* All AI features draw from the same monthly pool.
* The exact number of included credits depends on your plan.

### Add-on Credits

If you need more AI credits than what’s included in your plan:

* **Credit add-ons** are available on paid plans.
* Add-ons are billed as subscriptions (not one-time purchases).
* Unused add-on credits can **roll over for up to 1 month**.
* Free credits do not roll over — they reset each month.

👉 Example: If you purchase a 100 credit add-on in October but only use 50, the remaining 50 will carry over into November.

\*Note: Add-on AI credits are only available on new Softr plans (not legacy plans)

### When Credits Run Out

If you run out of AI credits during the month:

* AI features will pause (you won’t be charged)
* They’ll automatically resume when your credits renew at the start of your billing cycle OR you can purchase a credit add-on subscription to continue using AI right away.

### Tracking Credit Usage

You can always see your credit balance and manage add-ons from your **Plans & Billing** page:

1. Go to **Account Settings → Plan and billing**.
2. Check your remaining AI credits under **AI credits**
3. Click **Get more** to purchase a credit add-on.
