# Vizcom Credits

## Understanding Vizcom Credits

Manage your usage and get the most out of every credit in your plan

## What is a Credit?

A credit is a unit of usage in Vizcom. When you use a credit-powered feature, a set number of credits is deducted from your balance. Different features have different credit costs depending on their complexity — the cost is always shown before you confirm an action.

## Who are Credits for?

Any Starter, Pro, or Education user who wants to understand how credits work, what features use them, and what to do when their balance runs low.

### Your monthly balance

Every plan includes a monthly credits balance that resets at the start of each billing cycle. This is your base allocation; it does not roll over.

| Plan       | Credits Included per month | Ability to purchase Add-ons? |
| ---------- | -------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| Starter    | 800                        | Upgrade to Pro               |
| Pro        | 20,000                     | Yes, purchase anytime        |
| Enterprise | Custom                     | Contact Sales                |
| Education  | 15,000                     | Yes, purchase anytime        |

### **For Education Users:**

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Edu (Solo)" icon="user">
    **Single-user · 1 seat**

    Your account works just like a Pro account. you own it, manage it, and control your credits directly. There are no shared pools or org-level roles.

    **Credits**: Your credits belong to you personally and are not shared with anyone else.

    **Buying credits**: You can purchase credits anytime, since you're the account owner.

    > **When to use this:** You're an individual student or educator who wants Edu pricing without managing a team.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Edu Organization" icon="building">
    **Multi-user · 2+ seats**

    A shared account for teams, classrooms, or departments. An admin manages billing and credits, while editors (typically students) use the shared balance.

    **Credits**: All seats draw from a single shared pool managed by the admin.

    **Buying credits**: Only admins can purchase credits. Editors can use them but cannot buy more.

    > **When to use this:** You're setting up an account for a class or group where one person manages billing and others just need access.

## Base Credits vs Add-On Credits

***For Pro & Edu users only***, there are two types of credits on your account

* **Base Credits:** included in your monthly plan. Reset at the start of every billing cycle. Unused base credits do not carry over.
* **Add-on credits:** purchased separately for extra capacity. Unused add-on credits roll over month to month and do not expire.

**How credits are drawn down:**

Base credits are used first. After purchasing add-on credits, they will kick in once your base plan balance reaches zero.

## Tracking your usage & managing your balance

**Checking your credits**

Visit your settings page to access your Usage Dashboard and view your current balance, usage by feature via the credits conversion table, and any remaining add-on credits.

**Purchasing Add-on credits**

Pro & Edu users can purchase add-on credits directly from the app  via the settings page;  no plan change needed. Add-ons are available in set bundles and charged to your payment method on file.

**When your credits run out**

Credit-powered features will be paused until your balance is topped up or your monthly base credits reset.

* **Starter users**: wait for your balance to reset at the start of next month, or upgrade to Pro to purchase add-on credits
* **Pro users:** purchase add-on credits to continue designing without waiting for your monthly base credit allowance to reset
* **Edu users:** purchase add-on credits to continue designing without waiting for your monthly base credit allowance to reset
