How credits work
From October 1, your routines and workflows run on credits, and every plan comes with a monthly amount. Chat, triage, drafts and your morning brief don't use them.
What uses credits
Uses credits
Routines
Ready-made jobs from alfred_, like Plan my week.
Workflows
Jobs you build yourself, in plain words.
Both run on a schedule or when matching mail arrives. Each run uses credits, and bigger jobs use more.

- Inbox triage
- Drafts in your voice
- Follow-ups

What a run costs
Three of alfred_'s routines, measured on real runs. A run that reads more mail or writes more uses more.
Clean up your calendar
Real conflicts, back-to-back stretches and declined meetings still sitting there.
about 14credits a run
Plan my week
Monday morning, your week day by day and the mail that needs you.
about 55credits a run
Log every invoice
Invoices and receipts from your mail, kept in one running list.
50 to 110credits a run
How many you get
Every plan is the whole assistant. Plans differ in credits, and in how many workflows you can build.
| Plan | Credits a month | Enough for |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | 2,000 | About 1 run a day |
| Pro | 4,000 | About 2 runs a day |
| Power | 10,000 | About 6 runs a day |
| Max | 25,000 | About 15 runs a day |
| alfred_ team | 5,000 a person | About 3 runs a day each |
When they refresh
On your billing date every month, on monthly and annual plans alike. Unused credits don't roll over.
If you run out
Your routines and workflows pause until your credits refresh. Chat, triage, drafts and your morning brief keep working, and a run that's already started finishes.
Where to see yours
Plan & credits in the app shows what you've used this period, routine by routine and workflow by workflow. It's in your account menu.
