Included usage
Every plan includes a working capacity over a rolling window whose length depends on the plan. The interface shows a percentage used and when usage comes back, never a balance.
An analysis consumes according to the volume of comments read, the number of accounts analysed and the model chosen. A very wide analysis can empty a window on its own.
Usage credits
Once the included capacity runs out, three doors exist: wait for usage to come back, change plan, or buy usage credits.
These credits never expire and are only spent after the included usage. Nobody burns a purchase without knowing. Promotional grants can be added on top, and those do expire.
Keeping spending under control
- A switch, which stops the purchased balance from taking over.
- A monthly spending limit, reset at the start of each month.
- An automatic top-up, with a threshold and an amount, when a valid payment method is on file.
Usage credits only serve the web app. They do not convert into API credits, and API credits do not convert the other way.
