# Credits and What They Cover

URL: https://docs.testvibe.com/pricing/billable-minutes-and-credit

Credits are the unit TestVibe uses to track plan usage. One balance covers both sides of the product: the AI tokens used while generating tests and the cloud test session time used while running them.

## What Consumes Credits

| Activity | What is metered | AI generation | AI tokens used by the selected agent while drafting features or generating Playwright code. | Test runs | Cloud test session time while your tests execute and evidence is collected. 

Reviewing results, editing features, and browsing the workspace do not consume credits.

## Balance Order

When a workspace uses credits, TestVibe applies balances in this order:

1. Included plan credits. On paid plans this is a monthly allowance (use-it-or-lose-it; it resets each month and does not carry over). The Free plan instead gets a one-time credit grant that does not reset.
2. Purchased credit packs (persistent; never expire).
On the Free plan, work stops once the balance reaches zero. On Pro and Enterprise plans, usage past the balance is tracked as overage and billed at the end of the period.

## Credit Packs

Paid plans can buy one-time credit packs from the **Credit** card in **Settings > Billing** . A pack grants exactly the credits it lists (no bonus), and purchased credits do not reset with the billing period. Pack sizes and prices are shown in **Settings > Billing** before purchase; as of this writing they are 5,000, 15,000, and 50,000 credits, largest first for the best per-credit price.

## Where To See Usage

The current credit balance and the purchased credit balance are shown in **Settings > Billing** ; where credits go this cycle, by area, is shown in **Settings > Credit Usage** .
