Brainis Credits are the single unit for AI work. Everything that is not AI - modules, users, storage within plan limits - is covered by your plan, with no extra charge per module or per user.
The unit
One credit covers roughly 2,000 tokens of AI processing (input and output combined). You never manage tokens directly; actions have flat, predictable costs.
What actions cost

| Quick AI assist in Work OS | 1 |
| Bulk AI operation in Work OS | 3 |
| Voice command | 2 |
| Cortex quick answer | 2 |
| Smart task decomposition | 4 |
| Agent run | 5 |
| AI image generation | 6 |
| Cortex Autopilot pass | 6 |
| Simulate a decision | 8 |
| Cortex deep analysis | 10 |
Costs are shown before you confirm expensive operations, and every spend is itemized in your usage view.
Monthly allowance and reset
Every plan includes a monthly allowance: 50 on Free, 750 on Starter, 3,000 on Growth, 10,000 on Business. Plan credits reset each month on your billing anniversary and unused plan credits do not roll over.
Top-ups never expire
One-off top-up packs are separate from the plan allowance and never expire. Brainis spends plan credits first, then top-ups. See Buying credit top-ups.
Tip: If your team reliably runs out mid-month, a plan upgrade is cheaper per credit than repeated top-ups. Top-ups are for spikes.
When credits run out
AI features pause; nothing else does. Your modules, data, and team keep working normally, and any scheduled AI runs resume when credits are available again.
