Credit System Guide

This guide explains how DeepPaper AI's credit system works and how to manage your credits effectively.

What are Credits?

Credits measure how much you use our AI features. Every time you use an AI-powered feature (like paper analysis or Q&A), it costs credits.

Each plan comes with different monthly credits:

• Free: 75 credits when you sign up
• Basic: 500 credits per month
• Pro: 1200 credits per month
• Research: 3000 credits per month

What Costs Credits?

Here's what each feature costs:

• New paper(Basic analysis): 5 credits
• Advanced analysis: 8 credits
• Single analysis or redo: 1 credit per item
• Each question: 1 credit

Note: Credits are calculated based on 25,000 tokens per unit. For large papers, credit consumption increases proportionally with the paper size.

How Credits Refresh

Credits work like this:

1. They refresh at the start of each billing cycle
2. Your refresh date matches your subscription start date
3. Unused credits don't carry over to next month

For example, if you start a Pro plan on May 10th, you get 1200 credits right away, and they refresh on the 10th of each month.

Check Your Credits

You can track your credits in three ways:

1. Account Settings: See your full credit history and stats
2. Detailed Records: Every credit use is logged with:
   • What you used
   • When you used it
   • How many credits it cost
   • What paper it was for
3. Usage Stats: See which features use the most credits

On the credit page, you'll see:

• How many credits you have left
• How you've used your credits
• Every credit use with time, feature, and cost

Running Out of Credits

When you're out of credits:

1. You can't use features that cost credits
2. You'll see an "Insufficient Credits" message
3. You can upgrade your plan to get more credits

Smart Credit Tips

To make the most of your credits:

1. Watch your usage to see what costs the most
2. Save credits for important papers
3. Plan your usage at the start of each month
4. Upgrade if you keep running out

Credit Refunds

You can get credits back in two cases:

1. If a feature fails because of our system
2. Refunds show up as negative numbers in your history
