AI Credits Explained

2 min read

The AI Tutor is the only feature on QuizOdontist that costs credits. Everything else — quizzes, mocks, Learning Centre, dashboard, bookmarks, leaderboard — is unlimited.

How Credits Work

Every message you send to the tutor costs credits. Simple questions cost a fraction of a credit. Complex queries that fire multiple analytics tools cost more.

Message TypeApproximate Cost
Simple factual question~0.01 credits
Concept explanation with reasoning~0.03 credits
Deep analysis or multi-part breakdown0.05–0.10 credits
Performance analysis (multiple tools)0.10–0.18 credits

Your remaining balance shows at the top of the tutor panel, and a cost badge appears below each response so you always know what you spent.

Your balance at the top, cost per message at the bottom — no surprises
Start new conversations when you switch topics

Each follow-up carries the full conversation history, so later messages cost more than earlier ones. Switching to a new thread when you change topics keeps costs down and gets you cleaner responses.

Your Monthly Allocation

Every paid plan includes 30 AI credits per month (Freemium includes 3). Credits reset on your billing cycle — unused credits don't roll over.

Need More? Buy a Top-Up

A one-time top-up of 100 credits for $20 CAD is available. These never expire. The platform draws from your monthly credits first, so top-up credits only get used once your monthly allocation runs out.

When Credits Run Out

Nothing breaks. Quizzes, mocks, Learning Centre, dashboard — all still there. Your past AI conversations stay accessible (re-reading is free). The tutor just pauses until credits reset or you grab the top-up.

Next Up

Your dashboard shows the same data the tutor analyzes — score trends, subject breakdowns, difficulty analytics — in a format you can scan at a glance. Learn how to read it in Reading Your Dashboard.
