# Plans and Pricing

### How Credits Work

Every action in CodeWords uses credits based on the **complexity and resources required**.

Credits may be consumed when you:

* Build automations with Cody
* Edit workflows or agents
* Run workflows manually or automatically
* Use AI models, APIs, or browser automation

More advanced workflows may consume more credits depending on:

* Workflow complexity
* Number of steps
* Data size
* API and AI usage

You only pay for what you use. There are no idle fees or background charges.

After running a workflow, you can review your estimated usage, top categories, and a per-chat / per-workflow breakdown on the [Usage page](https://codewords.agemo.ai/usage).

### Annual Plans

Annual subscriptions are available at a discounted rate and include larger upfront credit allocations.

Annual plans are ideal for teams and businesses with predictable automation usage throughout the year.

### Credit Top-Ups

Top-ups are available on paid plans and are added instantly to your wallet.

Subscribers also receive bonus credits on top-ups depending on their plan.

### Monitoring Usage

To understand how your credits are being consumed, head to the [**Usage page**](https://codewords.agemo.ai/usage). It’s the single place to review your cycle spend, top categories, and a day-by-day breakdown of what each credit was spent on.

The Usage page shows:

* **Cycle spend** — total credits used in the current billing cycle, with a daily bar chart split by **Chat** and **Runs**.
* **Wallet, Plan, and Top Category** — your current balance, subscription tier, and the category you’re spending the most on (e.g. Chat or Runs).
* **Day-by-day breakdown** — click any day to see every chat and workflow run that consumed credits that day, with per-item call counts and credit costs.

See the dedicated [Usage](https://github.com/agemoai/cw-docs/blob/main/Automations/usage.md) guide for a full walkthrough. For run logs, statuses, and scheduled runs (not credits), see the [Activity](https://github.com/agemoai/cw-docs/blob/main/Automations/activity.md) page.

### Optimizing Credit Usage

Get the most value from your credits with these best practices:

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="244">Tip</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Be Specific with Your Requests</td><td><br>Clear, well-defined tasks help Cody work more efficiently, reducing unnecessary iterations and credit consumption.</td></tr><tr><td>Batch Similar Tasks</td><td>When possible, combine related tasks into a single request rather than multiple separate tasks. This reduces overhead and credit consumption.</td></tr><tr><td>Review Intermediate Results</td><td>For complex multi-phase tasks, review intermediate outputs before proceeding. This prevents wasted credits on work that might need adjustment.</td></tr><tr><td>Long chat threads cost more to process.</td><td><p>Start a new chat for each new agent or build.</p><p>If a thread gets long, continue in a new one. Your context stays available, so Cody still understands what you have been building.</p></td></tr><tr><td>Use cheaper models when the task allows</td><td>Some tasks do not need the most expensive model. Ask Cody whether it can switch to a cheaper model for the same task. Keep the output quality bar in mind. Use lower-cost models where they still meet your needs.</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Expect building to cost more than running

Building usually costs more than ongoing usage. That includes planning, editing, testing, and iterating.

{% hint style="info" %}
Use one chat per agent/project when possible. This is the easiest way to keep build costs down.
{% endhint %}

Once your agent is working well, the cost to run it is generally much lower.

Try prompts like:

> Keep cost in mind while building this.

> Can you suggest a cheaper way to build this workflow?

> Can you use a lower-cost model here without reducing output quality too much?

### Credit Rollover and Expiration

Unused subscription credits continue rolling over between billing cycles while your subscription remains active.

Top-up credits remain in your wallet until used.

Credits are prepaid, non-refundable, and non-redeemable for cash, in line with standard industry practices.

For more details, please refer to our [Terms and Conditions](https://www.codewords.ai/terms-conditions).

### Managing Your Subscription

You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription at any time from your [Wallet page](https://codewords.agemo.ai/account/wallet).

If you downgrade to the Free plan, any remaining credits in your wallet will remain available until used.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.codewords.ai/pricing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
