AI Credits

Understand how AI credits work in Paperguide, how many credits you receive each month by plan, and how to estimate usage for key AI features.

How AI credits work

Paperguide agents and AI features consume credits whenever they run tasks such as literature reviews, deep research reports, or data extraction. Each request uses a certain number of credits based on how much AI processing is required.

Credits are tied to your Paperguide plan and refresh every month.

Monthly credits by plan

Each Paperguide plan includes a monthly allocation of AI credits:

  • Free users: 1000 credits per month

  • Plus users: 10,000 credits per month

  • Pro users: 40,000 credits per month

Your available credits determine how many AI-powered actions you can run across Paperguide in a given month.
