## What Credits Are

Credits are the usage currency for Verdent. Your subscription includes a monthly credit allotment, and credit consumption varies based on model choice, context size, and task complexity.

## Pricing Tiers

| Plan | Price | Included Credits |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Free Trial** | Free | 100 (7 days) |
| **Starter** | \$19/month | 320 |
| **Pro** | \$59/month | 1,000 |
| **Max** | \$179/month | 3,000 |

<Note>
  Limited-time 50% credit bonus active: All plans currently include double credits (320 becomes 480, 1,000 becomes 1,500, 3,000 becomes 4,500). Verdent will provide 15\+ days advance notice before this bonus ends. All plans include access to frontier models.
</Note>

## Shared Credit Pool

Credits are shared across all Verdent products on the same account, including Verdent Desktop and Verdent for VS Code.

## Top-Ups

Flexible top-ups are available in these amounts:

- 340 credits (\$20)
- 1020 credits (\$60)
- 1,360 credits (\$80)
- 1,700 credits (\$100)
- 3,400 credits (\$200)

## What Affects Credit Consumption

| Factor | Impact |
| --- | --- |
| **Model choice** | Frontier models and larger contexts cost more than efficient models |
| **Parallel work** | More simultaneous work uses credits faster |
| **Context size** | Larger context windows process more tokens |
| **Request complexity** | More complex tasks require more computation |
