# Plans and credits

Every plan includes your rules, their history, and your AI tools. The plans
differ in three things: how many clients are live, how many people are in the
workspace, and how many **credits** Ask has each month.

| | Free | Solo | Team |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clients | 1 live | No limit | No limit |
| People | 1 | 1 | Everyone on your team |
| Credits a month | 30 | 300 | 1,500, shared |
| AI tools and agents | No limit | No limit | No limit |

Current prices are on [vythos.tech/pricing](https://vythos.tech/pricing).

## What a credit is

**One credit is one question asked on the Ask page.** Each question runs an
AI model, and that costs money every time.

Some things never use a credit:

- **Your AI tools.** When Claude, Cursor or another connected tool fetches your
  rules or searches your memory, no credit is used, on any plan. That lookup is
  what Vythos is for, so it isn't rationed.
- **A greeting or a thank-you** in Ask.
- **An answer that didn't happen.** A question that couldn't be answered
  because something went wrong on our side is given back. So is the reply
  Ask gives before you've added any documents.

The count is on the Settings page. It starts again each month: on the 1st on
Free, and on your billing day on Solo and Team.

## When the month's credits are used

Nothing else stops. Your rules, your memory and your AI tools carry on as
normal. Asking on the Ask page pauses until the credits start again, and it
tells you when that is. You can keep asking in any AI tool you've connected
in the meantime.

- **The workspace owner** is offered an upgrade.
- **Everyone else** is asked to talk to the owner, because only the owner can
  change the plan.

## One live client on Free

On Free, one client's rules are live: they reach your AI tools and Ask. Any
other clients are **paused**. Their rules are kept, not deleted, and they come
back the moment the workspace moves to Solo or Team. The owner chooses which
client is live on the Settings page.

## Changing plan

Only the workspace owner can change the plan, from **Settings → Billing**.
Moving down doesn't delete anything:

- clients beyond the new limit are paused;
- people beyond it lose access until the plan allows them again.
