# Billing and credits

> Understand plans, credits, your free trial, and how usage is counted.

Atlios uses a plan for your overall limits and features, plus credits for the
work that runs AI, such as fixes and image generation. You manage all of this
from **Settings > Billing**.

<Info>
  Plan changes, the billing portal, buying credits, and pay-as-you-go are
  available to the organization owner. Other members see these options as owner
  only.
</Info>

## Plans

Your plan sets how many stores and products you can track, how many credits you
get each month, and which features are available. The billing page shows the
available plans side by side so you can compare them.

From the billing page you can:

* **Start a free trial** when you are on the free plan.
* **Upgrade** to a higher plan or **downgrade** to a lower one.
* **Manage billing** to open the secure billing portal, where you can update
  your card and view invoices.
* **Reactivate** a subscription that was canceled or past due.

Your current plan shows a **Current plan** badge, and the page shows when your
subscription renews or, if you have canceled, when it ends.

## Free trial

New paid plans start with a free trial. During the trial:

* The sidebar shows how many days are left.
* The billing page shows a banner with the days remaining and confirms your card
  is not charged until the trial ends.

You can cancel any time before the trial ends. When the trial ends, your
subscription begins on the plan you chose.

## Credits

Credits pay for the work that uses AI. You spend credits when you apply AI
fixes and when you generate images:

* **1 fix = 1 credit**
* **Image generation: 4 to 7 credits per image, by output size**

Larger images cost more credits because they cost more to generate. The size is
set by the output dimensions on the image template, and the template editor
shows the exact cost before you save:

| Output size (longest side) | Credits per image |
| -------------------------- | ----------------- |
| Up to 1024 px              | 4 credits         |
| 1025 to 2048 px            | 5 credits         |
| Larger than 2048 px        | 7 credits         |

Your plan includes a pool of credits that refreshes each billing period. The
billing page shows a large **remaining** number, how many credits you have used
of the included amount, and when the pool resets. A progress bar turns amber and
then red as you get close to using all of your included credits.

Inline credit indicators also appear near AI actions and on store views, so you
can see your balance before you start work that uses credits.

## Buy more credits

If you need more credits than your plan includes, you have two options.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Buy a credit pack">
    Use **Buy credits** to purchase a one-time pack. Choose a preset amount or
    enter your own, from $10 up to $2,000. Credits cost \$0.04 each and never
    expire.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Pay-as-you-go">
    Turn on **Continue past your balance** to keep working after your included
    credits run out. You are charged \$0.04 per extra credit, up to a monthly cap
    shown on the page. You can see how much of the cap you have used at any
    time.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Note>
  If you turn pay-as-you-go off partway through a period, charges you already
  ran up still apply.
</Note>

## When you run out

If you run out of credits, Atlios tells you what to do based on your plan:

* On the free plan, you are prompted to choose a paid plan to unlock a monthly
  credit pool.
* On a paid plan, you can enable pay-as-you-go or buy a credit pack to keep
  going.
* If you turned pay-as-you-go off earlier in the period, you can re-enable it.
* If you reach your monthly pay-as-you-go cap, you can upgrade your plan to raise
  the cap or wait for the next period.

Some features are only on paid plans. When you reach a feature that your plan
does not include, Atlios explains which plan unlocks it and links you to
billing.

## Usage this period

The billing page shows your usage against your plan limits:

* **Stores:** connected stores compared to your plan's limit.
* **Products:** tracked products compared to your plan's limit.
* **Scans today:** scans run today compared to the daily limit per store.

A **Recent activity** section lists your latest credit activity, such as fixes,
image generation, your monthly credit grant, and any credit purchases.
