AI credits power Tendor’s AI features — outline extraction, prefill, compliance checking, and the AI chat assistant.

How credits are used

Each AI operation consumes a number of credits based on the amount of processing involved:
OperationCredit usage
Outline extractionBased on document size
PrefillBased on number of sections and document complexity
Compliance checkBased on outline size
AI chatPer message
Your current credit balance is shown in Settings → AI Credits.

Purchasing credits

Credits are purchased as one-time top-ups — they don’t expire and roll over month to month. To purchase credits:
  1. Go to Settings → AI Credits
  2. Select a credit package
  3. Complete the purchase via Stripe
Credits are added to your balance immediately after payment.
Each subscription plan includes a monthly AI credit allowance. On the Business plan, you can also purchase additional credits as one-time top-ups. See the Billing guide for more details.

Monitoring usage

You can view your credit consumption history from Settings → AI Credits. Each entry shows the operation, date, project, and credits used. If your balance runs low, Tendor will notify you before an operation that would exhaust your remaining credits.
