Archive uses a credit system to power AI features, enrichment tools, and automation actions. Here's what you need to know to avoid surprises on your bill.

The billing and credit system is still being gradually rolled out and is not yet available to all customers.


What Are Credits?

Credits are a shared monthly allowance across your whole workspace. Think of them as a wallet that everyone on your team draws from. Every plan includes a set number of credits each month, and you can buy more if you need them.

Your included credits reset on the first of each month. They don't carry over. If you've purchased extra Credit Packs, those do roll over for one billing period before expiring.


How Many Credits Does My Plan Include?

Plan

Credits Included / Month

Startup

20,000

Growth

70,000

Enterprise

150,000


What Uses Credits?

Not everything costs credits. Sentiment analysis and post summaries are always free. Here's what does consume them:

Action

Credit Cost

Notes

Magic Field run (standard)

1 credit / post / field

Reprocessing counts as a new run

Magic Field run (Pro model)

2 credits / post / field

Toggled per field, not the default

Campaign Refresh Data

3 credits / post refreshed

Manual action via command palette

Audience Data

250 credits / creator

30-day cache; re-enriching after 30 days charges again

Outreacher / Agent Sends

10 credits / draft generated

Charged per draft


What Happens If I Run Out?

If you don't have enough credits to complete an action, the whole action is canceled. You'll get a notification letting you know to add more credits before trying again. Nothing partial goes through.

For actions that happen automatically in the background (like Magic Fields processing incoming UGC), the system is still working out the best way to handle low-credit scenarios. We'll keep you updated as that gets finalized.


Buying More Credits

You can add Credit Packs on top of your included allowance. They stack, and you can buy them as a recurring subscription or as a one-time top-up for the current billing period. Purchased credits are spent after your included credits so your included allowance doesn't go to waste.

Pack

Credits Added

Price / Billing Period

Pack S

25,000

$500

Pack M

100,000

$1,250

Pack L

Tracking Your Credit Usage

You can see your credit history in your account settings. We're actively improving this view to make it more useful.

Coming soon: the ability to filter by time period and export your usage as a CSV. Longer term, you'll be able to see usage grouped by action type so it's easier to understand where your credits are going.
