What credits are
Credits are Trendier's usage unit. Generative features (AI Chat, AI Agent, Generator) draw from your credit balance when they produce an answer or report. Browsing features (Library, Dashboard, Signal, Newsletter) are unlimited and don't touch credits.
Which features use credits
Feature | Credit usage | How it works |
AI Chat | ✅ Consumes credits | Per query — varies with data scope and complexity |
AI Agent | ✅ Consumes credits | Per query — varies with data scope and complexity |
Generator | ✅ Consumes credits | Per report — varies with analysis type and complexity |
Library | ❌ Unlimited | No charge to browse |
Dashboard | ❌ Unlimited | No charge to explore |
Signal | ❌ Unlimited | Delivered automatically, no charge |
Newsletter | ❌ Unlimited | Anyone can subscribe |
Credits are consumed only when an answer or report is successfully generated. If a system error prevents output, credits aren't charged.
Monthly credits by plan
Plan | Monthly credits | Annual upfront total (with 2-month bonus) |
Starter | 50 | 700 |
Pro | 200 | 2,800 |
Business | Custom — scaled to contract tier | Custom |
Your account manager can confirm the Business plan credit allotment for your contract tier.
Common follow-up questions
If I ask the same question twice, am I charged each time?
Yes — AI Chat and AI Agent charge per successful response. Follow-up queries in the same session count as new queries.
Am I charged again if I re-download an existing Generator report?
No. Re-downloading an already-generated report doesn't consume additional credits.
Can my team share credits?
Yes — Pro and Business plans support team workspaces with a shared credit pool. Starter is individual-only.
How do I see how many credits each query consumed?
Inside the AI Chat conversation, you can see actual credits consumed for each answer. For team-level visibility, see "Can I see who used how many credits?"
