How credits work - Tasklet
How credits work
Every action your AI threads take costs credits: thinking, processing data, sending a message, reading an email, running code, browsing the web, and more. This includes both actions you initiate manually and actions taken by automations.
How you get credits
Organization members with billing access can make purchases by logging in and navigating to Settings → Org → Billing.
Tasklet credits can come from:
- Monthly subscription credits: Monthly plans start at $25 per month and can be adjusted in $5 increments. They provide 400 credits per dollar, a 20% lower per-credit rate than one-time purchases. These credits renew each billing period without rolling over.
- One-time credits: Give you additional flexibility without starting or changing a subscription. Purchase amounts range from $25 to $10,000 at a fixed rate of 320 credits per dollar. These credits remain available for one year and are used only after all other credits are consumed.
- Free Trial credits: Tasklet offers eligible accounts a seven-day Free Trial with 5,000 credits.
- Daily bonus credits: Free Trials and paid plans receive 600 credits on days you log in to Tasklet. These credits reset at Midnight UTC.
💡 Tip: For regular usage, choose a monthly plan since they’re discounted with a lower per-credit rate. Add one-time credits when you need extra capacity during periods of higher usage.
We bill for credits at a price very close to our underlying costs to give you the best value possible. See our pricing page for additional information and other pricing FAQs.
How does the Free Trial work?
Tasklet offers eligible accounts a seven-day Free Trial with 5,000 credits. You can also buy one-time credits, choose a monthly plan, or book a demo.
What affects credit usage
The credit costs of different AI queries can vary widely. The main factors affecting credit usage are:
- Intelligence level: Higher intelligence levels cost more per action.
- Task complexity: More steps and more data to process require more credits.
- Browser use: Browsing websites can use more credits. Prefer built-in connections for services when available.
- Automation frequency: Every automation run costs credits at the same rate as a manual action.
Making the most of your credits
The biggest lever is reducing how often AI gets invoked:
- Reduce automation frequency. One of the most common ways credits are wasted is running automations too often.
- Add automation filters. Many automations let you filter events before invoking AI (for example: only process emails not labeled “Promotions”, or only run a webhook automation when
body.status === 'success').
You should also consider:
- Lowering intelligence levels for threads that do not need higher reasoning effort.
- Starting fresh threads for unrelated tasks instead of continuing long threads.
Creating or editing instant apps uses credits (we generally recommend Expert or higher for this), but using an app after it is created usually uses few or no credits.
Checking your usage
Click the credits icon in the top right to see your available credits at a glance. For more detail:
- Settings → Org → Billing: Your current plan, credit breakdown, and monthly credit allowance.
- Settings → Agent → Usage & Limits: A day-by-day usage chart with a sustainable-per-day line, and per-thread credit breakdown.
- Settings → Org → Usage: Credit usage across all agents and team members in your org.
Controlling your usage
To avoid using more credits than you intend for any given thread, you can set a per-thread daily credit limit in Settings → Agent → Usage & Limits. When a thread hits its daily limit, it pauses until the limit resets at Midnight UTC.
By default, new threads are assigned a limit of 4,000 credits/day, and you can adjust this to any amount you want.
When you run out
Tasklet sends an email at 80%, 95%, and 100% of your credit allowance. When your credits are fully depleted:
- New requests and automations pause until credits are available.
- Free Trials and paid plans receive daily bonus credits to continue limited usage each day.
- You can buy one-time credits or change your monthly plan at any time for immediate access to more credits.
Intelligence Levels
Each Tasklet thread can be set to a different intelligence level. Higher levels are smarter and more capable, but use more credits per action.
| Level | Model | Thinking & Context | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic ($) | GPT-5.6 Luna | Low | Lowest | Simple, repetitive tasks like quick lookups, straightforward formatting, and basic triage |
| Advanced ($$) | GPT-5.6 Terra | Moderate | Moderate | Most work. Complex reasoning, multi-step tasks, working across connections, writing, and research |
| Expert ($$$) | GPT-5.6 Sol | Moderate | High | Demanding tasks like instant app creation, detailed analysis across many sources and multi-connection workflows requiring deeper reasoning |
| Genius ($$$$) | Claude Fable 5 | High | Highest | The hardest problems, like long research projects, large-scale processing, and tasks requiring deep sustained reasoning |
We recommend Advanced for most threads as the best balance of capability and cost.
How to change thread intelligence
Select the intelligence level from the dropdown in the thread input. This setting applies to everything that thread does going forward: not just the current conversation, but also all future runs and automations for that thread.
For example, if you set a thread to Advanced and it has a daily email automation, every run of that automation will use GPT-5.6 Terra until you change it. Different threads can use different intelligence levels, so you can run a simple triage thread on Basic while your research thread uses Expert.
