How credits work

Long resumes

Long resumes take more AI work, so they use more credits per action: 2 credits for resumes over about 2 pages, 3 credits for resumes over about 4 pages. You'll see a note whenever more than 1 credit is used.

Refunds

If an AI action fails, its credit is refunded automatically.

Your balance

Your balance is the ⚡ number at the top of every page. The Dashboard lists every credit used or added. New accounts start with 5 free credits.

Common questions

Do credits expire?

Credits you buy never expire. Credits from a monthly plan are used first and reset each month — unused plan credits don't roll over.

What happens if an AI action fails?

The credit is refunded automatically, right away.
