Understanding Betty AI Credits

Betty AI Credits make it simple to understand and manage your AI usage in BetterTracker.

Written by Garrett Browne

Instead of asking you to keep track of technical things like AI tokens, models, or processing costs, BetterTracker uses a straightforward credit system based on how you interact with Betty.

The simple version: 1 Betty AI Credit ≈ 1 standard interaction with Betty.


What is a Betty AI Credit?

A Betty AI Credit represents approximately one standard question, request, or analysis performed by Betty.

For example:

You ask Betty…

Typical Credit Use

“What contracts are renewing in the next 90 days?”

1 credit

“Which vendors increased in spend this month?”

1 credit

“What applications have low usage?”

1 credit

“What should I be paying attention to?”

1 credit

“Tell me more about this contract.”

1 credit

So, if your BetterTracker plan includes 100 Betty AI Credits, you can think of that as approximately 100 standard interactions with Betty.

Some advanced or more resource-intensive AI capabilities may use additional credits in the future. When that applies, BetterTracker will make the credit requirement clear.


What uses a Betty AI Credit?

A credit is typically used whenever Betty performs a new request for you.

Betty may perform several technical operations behind the scenes to answer a question. Those are all part of the same interaction and do not each consume a separate credit.


What happens if Betty can't complete my request?

You shouldn't lose a credit because of a BetterTracker or AI system error.

How many Betty AI Credits are included with my plan?

Your available Betty AI Credits depend on your BetterTracker subscription.

Your account will show your current allocation, usage, and renewal information.

For example:

Betty AI Usage

Example Only

Monthly Credits

100

Credits Used

72

Credits Remaining

28

Next Billing Period

September 15

Your included credits refresh each billing period based on your subscription.


Do unused credits roll over?

There are two types of credits you may see in your BetterTracker account.

Credit Type

Refreshes Monthly?

Rolls Over?

Included Credits

Purchased Credits

Included Credits

These are the Betty AI Credits included with your BetterTracker subscription.

If your plan includes 100 credits per month and you have 15 remaining when your next billing period begins, your included balance refreshes back to 100.

Purchased Credits

Additional credits you've purchased are separate from your monthly included allocation and remain available until used.

BetterTracker will use your included credits first so you get the full value of your monthly allocation.


Can I purchase more Betty AI Credits?

Yes.

If your team needs more Betty usage than what's included with your subscription, additional AI Credit Packs can be purchased.

Depending on your subscription, BetterTracker may offer:

Option

Best For

One-Time Credit Packs

Temporary or occasional additional usage

Monthly AI Credit Add-On

Teams that consistently use more Betty AI

Annual AI Credit Add-On

Higher ongoing usage with annual billing

Purchased credits are added to the credits already available to your company.


What happens when I'm running low?

BetterTracker will make your available balance visible so you can keep track of usage.

For example:

Usage Level

What You'll See

Plenty of credits available

Normal Betty experience

Credits running low

Low-credit notification

No credits remaining

Option to purchase additional credits or wait for your refresh

BetterTracker does not automatically charge you for AI overages just because you've used your included credits.

If you reach zero available credits, you can purchase additional credits or wait until your included allocation refreshes.


Are Betty AI Credits shared between users?

Yes. Betty AI Credits are associated with your BetterTracker company account, rather than an individual user.

That means everyone in your organization who has permission to use Betty shares the company's available balance.

For example:

Team Member Activity

Credits Used

Alex asks 20 questions

20

Sam asks 15 questions

15

Jordan asks 10 questions

10

Company Total

45 credits

This makes it easier to manage AI usage across your organization without assigning separate credit allowances to individual users.


Example: What could 100 Betty AI Credits look like?

Imagine your plan includes 100 Betty AI Credits per month.

Your team might use Betty like this:

Betty AI Activity

Approx. Credits

Contract questions and analysis

35

Expense and vendor analysis

20

Application and Scout insights

15

Follow-up questions

10

Total Used

80

Remaining

20

The exact mix is completely up to you. You can use Betty wherever she can help you better understand and act on your BetterTracker data.
