Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the prepaid balance work?
- When you sign up, you add credit to your account (minimum $10 for Pay-as-you-go, $50/month for Pro). As you use features that require AI processing, your balance decreases. You can see your current balance and usage history in your dashboard, updated in real time.
- What happens when my balance runs out?
- You'll receive notifications as your balance gets low. When it reaches zero, AI-powered features pause until you top up. You can still browse cached content and your saved items. Pro subscribers automatically receive their monthly credit at each billing cycle.
- Does my balance expire?
- No. Pay-as-you-go credit never expires. For Pro subscribers, your monthly $50 credit is use-it-or-lose-it each month, but any additional top-ups remain in your account indefinitely.
- What are analytical environments?
- Analytical environments are focused workspaces for specific domains — Politics, Tech, Business, Sports, etc. Each comes with curated sources, relevant voices, and domain-specific tracking. All plans include access to all environments.
- How do I know what each action costs?
- Your dashboard shows real-time usage tracking with costs broken down by operation type. Before expensive operations (like generating a detailed analysis), we show an estimated cost. You're always in control of your spending.
- What happens if I exceed my Pro credit?
- If you use more than your $50 monthly credit, additional usage is charged at standard Pay-as-you-go rates until your next billing cycle, when your credit refreshes. There are no penalty fees—you just temporarily lose the 40% discount. Your account will notify you when your credit is running low.
- What's included in Enterprise?
- Enterprise plans include volume-based discounts (up to 50% off standard rates), team workspaces, SSO authentication, API access, custom domain app creation, and dedicated support. Contact our sales team to discuss your organization's needs.
