What's a credit?

You see actions, not tokens. Every AI action costs a known number of credits up front, so you can predict your bill. Standard models are the default and are included on every paid plan. Advanced models are available on Plus and above for higher-stakes work, at a proportional credit cost.

Press release draft (per 150 words of output)13
Ad-hoc query / re-run0.51.5
Beat re-classification on existing meeting0.51.5
Transcript analysis (per recording)26

For press release drafts you set the target word count on screen before generating, so credit cost is predictable.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sign up as an individual reporter, or do I need a newsroom?

+
Anyone can sign up at any tier. JournoHelper does not gate by buyer type — pay individually or expense it through your team, whichever works for you.

What happens if I run out of credits mid-month?

+
You keep using the app — browse past briefs, manage sources, view your archive. AI actions (new analyses, drafts) pause until you buy an add-on pack or your next billing cycle starts. No surprise charges.

Do unused credits roll over?

+
Up to 20% of your monthly allotment carries into the next month. Carried-over credits expire after one cycle if unused. Add-on packs roll over the same way.

Can I change tiers mid-cycle?

+
Yes. Upgrades are prorated — you immediately get the prorated credits and your bill adjusts on the spot. Downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing cycle.

Will I get charged extra without warning?

+
Never. Add-on credit packs are an explicit purchase you make when you want more capacity. We will never auto-bill you for overage.

How does annual billing work?

+
Pay once a year and get one month free — eleven months for the price of twelve. You can switch from monthly to annual any time inside the app.
