Understanding Credits
Credits are what power your conversations with Genie. Every time Genie responds, it uses a small amount of credits based on the AI model and the length of the conversation.
How it works
Your plan includes credits — Every Genie plan comes with a monthly credit allowance (e.g., $7/mo on Go, $25/mo on Plus)
Conversations use credits — Each AI response costs a small amount, depending on the model and conversation length
Buy more when needed — If you use up your monthly allowance, you can purchase additional credits anytime
Credits are measured in dollar equivalents, so $1 in credits = roughly $1 worth of AI model usage.
What's included in each plan
Go ($29/mo)
$7
Hundreds of messages
Plus ($79/mo)

The exact number of messages depends on:
Model used — Some models cost more per response
Conversation length — Longer context = more tokens = more credits
Complexity — Simple questions use less than multi-step reasoning
Checking your balance
Open the Credits page from your Genie dashboard to see:
Your current credit balance
How much you've used this month
Transaction history
Running low?
If your credits are getting low, you have a few options:
Buy more credits — Purchase additional credits from the Credits page
Upgrade your plan — Higher plans include more monthly credits
BYOK (coming soon) — Bring your own API key to use your own AI budget
Credits and Karma
If you've heard of "Karma" on Deva — credits and Karma are the same thing under the hood. On Genie, we call them credits to keep things simple. On Deva's social platform, the same currency is called Karma and has additional features like tiers and withdrawals.
You don't need to worry about Karma unless you start using Deva's multiplayer or social features.
