Some Mintlify features consume credits.
|
||
|
||
* Assistant responses
|
||
* Agent runs in the editor or on Slack
|
||
* Automation runs
|
||
|
||
For the most current pricing information, see the [Pricing page](https://mintlify.com/pricing) or view the [Usage](https://app.mintlify.com/settings/organization/usage) page in your dashboard.
|
||
|
||
## Plan availability
|
||
|
||
Credits are available on the **Pro and Enterprise plans**. Every Pro plan includes 10,000 credits per month, and you can purchase additional credits from the [Usage](https://app.mintlify.com/settings/organization/usage) page whenever you need more.
|
||
|
||
The free Starter plan does not include AI features. You cannot purchase credits on the Starter plan. To use the assistant, agent, or automations, upgrade to Pro or Enterprise.
|
||
|
||
<Note>
|
||
Customers on legacy credit plans keep their existing credit packs and pricing. The tiers below apply to the Pro plan.
|
||
</Note>
|
||
|
||
## Pricing tiers
|
||
|
||
| Monthly credits | Monthly cost |
|
||
|:----------------|:-------------|
|
||
| 10,000 | $0 |
|
||
| 25,000 | $145 |
|
||
| 50,000 | $370 |
|
||
| 100,000 | $800 |
|
||
|
||
If you need more than 100,000 credits per month, [contact sales](https://www.mintlify.com/contact/sales) to discuss a custom plan.
|
||
|
||
**Overages** cost an additional $0.01 per credit rather than triggering an automatic tier upgrade. You can set usage alerts to receive an email when you reach a certain percentage of your tier limit. Allowing overages can be cheaper than moving up a tier depending on your usage patterns.
|
||
|
||
<Note>
|
||
Overages default to off. You must enable them on the [Usage](https://app.mintlify.com/settings/organization/usage) page of your dashboard.
|
||
</Note>
|
||
|
||
**Rollovers** carry forward up to 50% of unused credits to the next month, so the maximum credits available in any month is 1.5 times your monthly limit. Rollovers reset if you change tiers.
|
||
|
||
Higher tiers offer a lower effective cost per credit. If your usage consistently reaches the top of your current tier, upgrading is more economical than paying ongoing overage charges.
|
||
|
||
Upgrades and downgrades take effect immediately, and we prorate the charges to the current billing cycle.
|
||
|
||
For high-volume usage or custom credit packages, [contact sales](mailto:sales@mintlify.com). Custom credit packages are available on enterprise plans only.
|
||
|
||
## How credits work
|
||
|
||
Different features consume different amounts of credits per interaction:
|
||
|
||
| Feature | Average credits per interaction |
|
||
|:--------|:--------------------------------|
|
||
| Assistant response | 23 |
|
||
| Editor agent run | 115 |
|
||
| Slack agent run | 110 |
|
||
|
||
Automations also consume credits when they run:
|
||
|
||
| Automation | Average credits per run |
|
||
|:---------|:------------------------|
|
||
| Update from code changes | 180 |
|
||
| Update from assistant conversations | 212 |
|
||
| Broken link detection | 285 |
|
||
| Changelog | 223 |
|
||
| SEO audit | 422 |
|
||
| Translations | 913 |
|
||
| Typo check | 330 |
|
||
| Writing style | 235 |
|
||
|
||
## Estimating your usage
|
||
|
||
Use the averages in the [How credits work](#how-credits-work) section to estimate your monthly credit needs.
|
||
|
||
For example, if your docs site handles 500 assistant responses per month, that's roughly 11,500 credits (500 × 23). Adding a weekly broken link detection automation adds about 1,140 credits per month (4 × 285).
|
||
|
||
After using credit-powered features for a month, review your usage patterns to see if you should adjust your tier.
|
||
|
||
## Export usage activity
|
||
|
||
Export your usage activity log to CSV for deeper analysis, reporting, or record-keeping.
|
||
|
||
1. Navigate to the [Usage](https://app.mintlify.com/settings/organization/usage) page in your dashboard.
|
||
2. Optionally, adjust the date range in the toolbar to change the period the export covers.
|
||
3. In the **Activity log** section, click **Export to CSV**.
|
||
4. Mintlify emails you a download link when the export is ready. The link expires after 72 hours.
|
||
|
||
The exported CSV includes the date, product, and credits consumed for each event in the selected range.
|
||
|
||
## Cost optimization
|
||
|
||
**Schedule automations instead of triggering on every push.** Automations like SEO audits, writing style checks, and broken link detection don't need to run on every code change. Running these on a daily or weekly cron schedule rather than on every push significantly reduces credit consumption without meaningful impact on content quality.
|
||
|
||
**Monitor your usage patterns.** The [Usage](https://app.mintlify.com/settings/organization/usage) page in your dashboard shows a breakdown by feature category. If a particular automation is consuming more credits than expected, review its trigger or any custom instructions.
