Credits

What Is an Ottogrid Credit?

Credits are the currency used on Ottogrid that allow you to run AI cells and utilize various tools.

Subscription tiers come with a number of credits you receive each month.

What Cost Credits?

By default, cells without AI or tool usage cost 0 credits—you can upload and use them for free. However, when you use AI cells or specific tools, credits are deducted based on the tools used.

Credit Breakdown

AI Cells

• Costs Based on Tools:

  • Instruction only: 1 credit per cell

  • Web Search: 4 credits per cell

  • Scrape Url: 3 credits per cell

  • File Analysis: 5 credits

  • Data Enrichment: 10 credits per cell

Do I get charged for errors or issues?

No you do not get charged for errors or issues. Here are some of the scenario where you will not get charged for a cell:

• Errors: You are not charged if a cell fails.

• N/A: Sometimes the agent is unable to find relevant data for a given cell. in this scenario you will not be charged any credits. A cell will be denoted by n/a if not enough information is available.

What Are Tools?

Tools are data sources or capabilities that enhance the functionality of an AI cell. For example, using the web search tool allows Ottogrid ai agent to search the web for information to generate a more informed response.

Tips to Reduce Credit Costs

• Simplify Tasks: Use simpler tasks that don't require extensive outputs.

• Short Text Outputs: Opt for short text outputs when possible, as they consume fewer resources and result in lower credit usage.

• Avoid Unnecessary Tools: Only use tools that are essential for your task to minimize additional credit costs. For example if you are categorizing simple data, instructions only with single line text will use the least amount of credits

Note: We currently do not support providing your own API keys to reduce credit costs, but we are working on this feature.

Do Credits Expire?

After subscribing, credits reset month to month. If you unsubscribe, your credits will be unusable until you subscribe again.

How Do I Know How Many Credits a Cell or Tool Costs?

Each column will tell you the cost per cell before you run it.

How Do I Get More Credits?

Credits are allocated monthly based on the tier you subscribe to and can be purchased in bundles. The more credits you buy, the cheaper they are per unit.

See our pricing page to explore our subscription tiers and bundles.

Why Do We Use Credits?

We want the platform to be usage-based, reflecting the actual cost of the resources consumed. Not all actions are created equal; some tools or AI cells use more resources or expensive APIs. Using credits ensures fairness and sustainability.
