How credits work
Every action your AI agents take costs credits: thinking, processing data, sending a message, reading an email, running code, browsing the web, and more. This includes both actions you initiate manually and actions taken via automated triggers.
You can purchase credits in any $5 increment, with a $25/month minimum. See our pricing page for options. We bill for credits at a price very close to our underlying costs to give you the best value possible.
The main component of your paid plan is a monthly credit allowance that renews each billing cycle. In addition, each day you use Tasklet, you receive a daily bonus to help cover personal daily usage (300 credits/day for free users, 600 credits/day for paid users). Daily bonus credits reset at Midnight UTC.
Tasklet offers two ways to get credits:
- Your monthly subscription gives you a recurring credit allowance that renews each billing cycle.
- With an active subscription, you can also purchase top-up credits anytime without changing your plan.
Monthly subscription credits reset each billing cycle and do not roll over. Top-up credits remain available for 12 months from the date of purchase.
What affects credit usage
The credit costs of different AI queries can vary widely. The main factors affecting credit usage are:
- Intelligence level: Higher intelligence levels cost more per action.
- Task complexity: More steps and more data to process require more credits.
- Connections and tools: Activating more tools adds more context to each action, which increases cost.
- Browser use: Browsing websites can use more credits. Prefer built-in connections for services when available.
- Trigger frequency: Every trigger invocation costs credits at the same rate as a manual action.
Making the most of your credits
The biggest lever is reducing how often AI gets invoked:
- Reduce trigger frequency. One of the most common ways credits are wasted is frequent periodic triggers.
- Add trigger filters. Many triggers let you filter events before invoking AI (for example:
only process emails not labeled “Promotions”, or only run a webhook trigger when
body.status === 'success').
You should also consider:
- Lowering intelligence levels for agents that do not need higher reasoning effort
- Removing unnecessary connection tools from agents by asking the agent
- Starting fresh chats for unrelated tasks instead of continuing long threads
Creating or editing instant apps uses credits (we generally recommend Expert or higher for this), but using an app after it is created usually uses few or no credits.
Checking your usage
Click the credits icon in the top right to see your available credits at a glance. For more detail:
- Settings → Org → Billing: Your current plan, credit breakdown, and monthly credit allowance.
- Settings → Workspace → Usage & Limits: A day-by-day usage chart with a sustainable-per-day line, and per-agent credit breakdown.
- Settings → Org → Usage: Credit usage across all workspaces and team members in your org.
Controlling your usage
To avoid using more credits than you intend for any given agent, you can set a per-agent daily credit limit in Settings → Workspace → Usage & Limits. When an agent hits its daily limit, it pauses until the limit resets at Midnight UTC.
By default, new agents are assigned a limit of 4,000 credits/day, and you can adjust this to any amount you want.
When you run out
Tasklet sends an email at 80%, 95%, and 100% of your credit allowance. When your credits are fully depleted:
- New requests and triggers pause until credits are available
- Daily bonus credits let you continue limited usage each day
- You can upgrade your plan at any time for immediate access to more credits
Intelligence Levels
Each Tasklet agent can be set to a different intelligence level. Higher levels are smarter and more capable, but use more credits per action.
| Level | Model | Thinking & Context | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic ($) | Claude Haiku 4.5 | Low | Lowest | Simple, repetitive tasks like quick lookups, straightforward formatting, and basic triage |
| Advanced ($$) | Claude Sonnet 4.6 | Moderate | Moderate | Most work. Complex reasoning, multi-step tasks, working across connections, writing, and research |
| Expert ($$$) | Claude Opus 4.6 | Moderate | High | Demanding tasks like instant app creation, detailed analysis across many sources and multi-connection workflows requiring deeper reasoning |
| Genius ($$$$) | Claude Opus 4.6 | High | Highest | The hardest problems, like long research projects, large-scale processing, and tasks requiring deep sustained reasoning |
We recommend Advanced for most agents as the best balance of capability and cost.
How to change agent intelligence
Select the intelligence level from the dropdown in the agent’s chat input. This setting applies to everything that agent does going forward: not just the current conversation, but also all future runs, triggers, and automated tasks for that agent.
For example, if you set an agent to Advanced and it has a daily email trigger, every run of that trigger will use Sonnet 4.6 until you change it. Different agents can use different intelligence levels, so you can run a simple triage agent on Basic while your research agent uses Expert.
