How AI Credits Work in Yantra
Credits are how model usage is metered. What a credit is worth, what the free tier gives you, what each plan includes, and how to keep going when you run out.

Every message that reaches a model costs something. Yantra meters that cost in credits, so you can see what you are using and decide how to pay for it. This post explains the whole system in one place.
One number to remember
500 credits equal one US dollar of model usage. A short chat turn on a fast model costs a handful of credits. A long Deep Search run or a video generation costs more. The Usage page itemizes every turn by model and provider.
The free tier
An account with no subscription gets 500 credits a day, within a cap of 3,000 credits a month. That is enough to use Yantra every day and decide whether it is for you. When the day's batch is spent, you see You've used today's free credits and a countdown to the refill.
What paid plans include
| Plan | Credits per month | Agents |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | 25,000 | 10 |
| Premium | 50,000 | 15 |
| Pro | 200,000 | 30 |
| Enterprise | 500,000 | 50 |
Team plans are priced per seat and include agents per seat. Current prices and per-tier limits are on the Pricing page inside the app.
When the allowance runs out
You have three choices, and the app offers all three:
- Wait. Free credits refill daily. Plan credits refill monthly.
- Pay as you go. Basic, Premium, Pro and Enterprise can turn on overage and set a monthly cap in dollars.
- Bring your own key. Add a provider key under the model picker. Turns on that key are billed by the provider, not from credits. This is the right choice for heavy use of one provider.
A credits chip beside the composer shows what is left, so none of this is a surprise.
Earning credits
Invite someone with your referral link. When they join and start using Yantra, you earn 500 credits.
What does not cost credits
Opening apps, browsing your calendar, editing a resume by hand, watching a recording. Credits are spent when a model runs, and only then.
