Credits are how you pay for the work Alfera does. You buy credits in monthly packages and spend them only when Alfera executes a task. Seats, integrations, and idle time are never charged.

​
How credits work

  • 1 dollar = 100 credits
  • Pro plan = 5,000 credits per month ($50)
  • You are charged only when a task runs. If Alfera is idle, your balance does not decrease.

​
Typical credit usage

​
Keeping control of spend

  • Choose your monthly package and change it anytime from billing settings
  • Every run has approval gates, so you review costly actions before they execute
  • Live usage view in the dashboard shows exactly where your credits go
  • Runs pause with a clear message if you hit zero — nothing is charged beyond your balance

​

What tasks cost

​
How to control your spend

Alfera gives you three levers to keep costs predictable:
1

Set your monthly package

Pick a Pro plan tier from 5,000 credits up to 3,000,000 credits self-serve. Enterprise plans support custom volumes beyond that.
2

Use approval gates

Any customer-facing or destructive action waits for your one-tap approval before it runs. This prevents accidental over-spend on large jobs.
3

Monitor live usage

View your current balance, credits used this month, and a forecast of remaining spend in real time from your billing dashboard.
Approval gates are enabled by default. You can adjust what requires approval in your workspace settings.

Frequently asked questions

Credits pay for the compute and AI model usage required to complete your tasks. This includes reading data from connected tools, reasoning through multi-step workflows, writing drafts, and generating deliverables like sheets or reports. You are not charged for connecting tools, adding team members, or idle time.
Set a monthly credit package that matches your expected volume, enable approval gates for large or destructive jobs, and check your live usage dashboard regularly. If you notice usage climbing faster than expected, you can pause scheduled runs or adjust approval settings at any time.
Your runs will pause automatically. No tasks are lost, and nothing is deleted. You can add more credits from your billing dashboard to resume immediately, or wait for your next monthly cycle if you are on a recurring plan.
Yes. Pro plans scale self-serve from 5,000 credits up to 3,000,000 credits per month. If you need more than that, or want annual invoicing and custom terms, contact us about an Enterprise plan.
