# Credits

> The one balance everything metered draws from

Credits are a single balance in euros that covers everything nemu meters for
you. Your tokens are never part of it. Model usage is billed through the
provider key you configured, and credits cover the work nemu does around it.

## What you get

Credits are granted with your plan and reset at the start of each billing
period. They do not roll over.

| Plan       | Credits each period |
| ---------- | ------------------- |
| Free       | none                |
| Starter    | €8                  |
| Pro        | €25                 |
| Max        | €90                 |
| Enterprise | unlimited           |

The balance and the period it belongs to are shown under **Quotas** in the
console.

## What draws from it

| What                       | Rate            |
| -------------------------- | --------------- |
| Computer, standard         | €0.02 a minute  |
| Computer, high performance | €0.06 a minute  |
| Web search                 | €0.006 a search |
| Page read                  | €0.003 a page   |
| Deep search                | €0.05 a run     |

A minute of a standard computer and three web searches cost about the same, so
a normal chat that searches a few times is a rounding error next to a build that
runs for half an hour.

Indexing a website does not draw from credits. It runs on the model you chose
in your own workspace, so it lands on that provider's bill like any other
request.

## What does not

Model tokens. Prompts and completions go to whichever provider you connected,
on your own key, and never touch this balance. That separation is the point:
credits pay for machines and retrieval, your provider bill pays for thinking.

## When it runs out

Metered work stops. The agent will say so rather than failing quietly, chat
keeps working for anything that does not draw credits, and a running computer is
stopped rather than left to accrue. Nothing is deleted, and the balance returns
at the start of the next period.

Upgrading raises the allowance immediately.
