Accounts and Billing
Understanding credits
What's a credit? Think of credits as your automation fuel. Every action your workflows perform — from updating a spreadsheet cell to having AI summarize a document — uses credits. Simple tasks use fewer credits, while complex operations (like AI processing) use more.
It's like a pay-as-you-go system that scales with what you actually use.
How credits work
Automatic usage: Credits get used automatically whenever your workflows run. No need to think about it — your automations just work, and credits handle the behind-the-scenes costs.
Track your usage: Keep an eye on your credit consumption right from your main Dashboard, or dive deeper in Settings > Billing. You'll see exactly what's using credits and how much you have left.
Adding more credits
Running low on credits? No worries:
Go to Settings > Wallet — Everything's right where you'd expect
Click "Add Top Up Wallet" — Can't miss it
Pick your amount — Choose the credit amount that fits your needs
Complete the purchase — Your credits show up instantly
Pro tip: Buy credits in larger packages for better value, and you won't have to think about topping up as often.
Understanding usage
Workflow executions are the main unit:
Each time an automation runs counts as one execution
Scheduled runs, trigger events, and manual runs all count
Failed runs still count (they used resources)
Tool callings and the user messages to Cody are also considered part of the usage, but they amount to very minimal consumption of your credits.
Resource consumption
Longer-running workflows use more compute
File processing and web scraping are resource-intensive
API calls to external services may have their own costs
