Credits & Pricing
How Credits Work
Credits are AI CPO's internal currency. Every action involving AI (sending a message, generating an artifact, research) deducts a certain number of credits from your balance. Credits never expire and work across all projects.
Welcome Bonus
When you create your first project, you receive 15,000 credits for free. That's enough for:
- ~100 chat messages (1,000 credits)
- ~50 artifact generations (10,000 credits)
- ~4 auto research sessions (2,000 credits)
- ~6 connector imports (1,800 credits)
This is sufficient for a complete analysis of 2-3 products from start to pitch deck.
Operation Costs

| Artifact generation | 200 | First generation of a new artifact |
| Regeneration | 100 | Regeneration with updated data |
| Premium artifact | 300 | Complex artifacts (pitch deck, audit) |
| Research | 500 | Automated niche research |
| Custom artifact | 400 | User-requested generation |
| Connector import | 300 | Telegram, PostHog, GA4, Metrica |

Balance Notifications
The platform warns you about low balance:
- Yellow bar — balance below 1,000 credits. Work continues normally.
- Red notification — balance is 0. You can browse existing artifacts and chat history, but new generations and messages are unavailable (402 error).
Atomic Deductions
Credit deductions are atomic with row-level database locking. This prevents race conditions: even if you send 10 requests simultaneously, each deduction happens correctly and your balance never goes negative.
Each transaction is recorded with an idempotency key — duplicate requests won't cause double charges. Transaction history is accessible via the clock icon in the sidebar.
