Billing

Credits, Usage, and Subscriptions

Avenlo uses a bucket-based credit system for AI usage and notebook runtime activity. This guide explains how credits are granted, spent, and displayed.

Credits and usage

Avenlo uses a bucket-based credit system. Credits are deducted when you use AI features and when notebook runtime activity incurs metered usage. The billing UI shows both your total currently spendable credits and the underlying bucket breakdown.

The three credit buckets

  • Free period credits: 3,000 included credits per active billing period.
  • Subscription period credits: paid-plan credits for the same billing period. Basic includes 19,000 plan credits and Pro includes 99,000 plan credits.
  • Purchased credits: top-up credits bought separately from a paid subscription. These remain on your account until used, but they are only spendable while you have an active paid subscription period.

How billing periods work

Free users receive their 3,000 included credits on a calendar-month basis. The period starts on the first day of the month and resets on the first day of the next month.

Paid users use the subscription period reported by Polar. That same subscription period controls both the 3,000 included free-period credits and the paid-plan credits for that plan.

  • Free plan total included credits per month: 3,000.
  • Basic plan total included credits per subscription period: 22,000.
  • Pro plan total included credits per subscription period: 102,000.

How credits are deducted

Whenever Avenlo needs to consume credits, it always spends from buckets in the same order.

  1. Free period credits
  2. Subscription period credits
  3. Purchased credits

Subscriptions

Subscription management includes plan selection, checkout, billing status, pending plan changes, and credit top-ups. Renewal and cancellation states are explicitly represented.

Paid subscriptions determine whether purchased top-up credits are currently spendable and which billing period controls your included credits.
