Credits
What are credits?
Credits are the currency used on Scade.pro that allow you to run flows, use Ai Apps, playground and agents. They reflect the cost of actions to us. The more credits you have, the more actions you can perform. Subscription plans come with a set number of credits, and you can buy more anytime.
How much does 1 credit cost?
1 credit costs 1 cent.
For example an image generation with Flux Pro costs 6 credits, while the average cost of a ChatGPT node task is 0.5 credits.
What determines credit usage?
Credit usage depends on several factors, including the AI models you use, the input and output data, and the frequency of use. Each run costs credits based on the cost of the model used.
For example, for text models, the cost depends on the volumes of the prompt and the final text. For images, it depends on the size of the image. Some nodes use costly APIs under the hood, while others, like Start and End nodes, cost almost nothing.
What happens when I run out of free credits?
You will still have access to view and export your flows, but you won’t be able to run new flows, use agents and playground.
How to top up my balance?
To top up your account, go to the Personal space settings on the left panel then proceed to the Billing & usage and choose one of the subscription plans offered.
Subscription plans
How to choose the right plan?
Plan descriptions include the number of credits provided per month and the plan’s capabilities. The specified number of credits generally corresponds to the tasks of a specific category of users.
Do credits roll over every month?
Credits do not roll over each month. After canceling a subscription, the subscription credits will drop to 0 at the start of the next billing cycle, but purchased credits will remain until you use them.
What happens when I run out of paid credits?
Credits are allocated monthly based on the plan you subscribe to and can also be purchased in bundles. If you run out of credits within your monthly plan, you can buy additional credits. If you don’t use all your credits by the end of the month, they will reset with the new month.
What happens to credits if I upgrade or downgrade my subscription?
When you upgrade or downgrade your subscription, the following applies to your credits:
- Upgrade:
- The remaining credits from your current plan will be carried over to the new plan.
- You will receive additional credits according to the new subscription plan.
- Downgrade:
- Any remaining credits from the higher-tier plan will be retained until the end of the current billing cycle.
- At the start of the next billing cycle, you will receive credits based on the new, lower-tier plan.
Are there any limits on the number of credits I can purchase at once?
You can purchase up to 20,000 credits per transaction, but there’s no limit on the number of transactions you can make.
How to use a promo code?
To use a promo code, select the subscription plan or credit purchase you are interested in. This will redirect you to the Stripe payment page. On the Stripe page, locate and click the “Add promotion code” option, then enter your promo code to apply the discount to your transaction.
