Credits are the usage currency in Rocket. One balance covers everything you do in Rocket: Solve research, Build generation, and Intelligence monitoring. There is no separate billing for compute, storage, or hosting. ## Credit types Rocket has two types of credits: ### Subscription credits * Included in your monthly plan * Roll over month-to-month while your plan is active * Available on all paid plans ### Credit add-ons * One-time packs you purchase separately * Do not expire while your subscription is active * Useful for high-load months or unexpected scope increases * Available to paid users only. Buy from **Settings > Subscription** at any time ## What consumes credits? Credits are consumed any time Rocket does work on your behalf. This includes: * **Chatting inside a task:** Every message you send in a Build or Solve task, from a basic follow-up question to generating a full screen. * **Building:** Creating a new app and iterating on it through chat, whether from a prompt, a Figma design, a GitHub repo, or a template. * **Solve research:** Strategic research tasks, PRDs, market analysis, and competitive reports. * **Competitive intelligence:** Competitor monitoring setup, signal tracking, and brief generation. | Action | Credit usage | | :- | :- | | Chat message with a small tweak | Low | | Create a landing page | Low | | Build a mobile app with features and testimonials | Moderate | | Design a CRM dashboard with filters, analytics, and roles | High | | Run a competitive analysis via Solve | High | > [!NOTE] > > Competitive intelligence is available on Rocket and Booster plans at no additional credit cost. > [!NOTE] > > Using **Fix it** for Rocket-detected errors in chat is free for paid users and does not consume credits. ## Rollover policy * **Monthly plans:** Unused credits roll over to the next month as long as your plan remains active. * **Yearly plans:** Unused credits roll over month-to-month within your 12-month term as long as your plan remains active. At renewal, remaining credits expire and a fresh balance starts. Credits expire if you cancel your plan. ## When to add credits vs. upgrade | Scenario | Best option | | :- | :- | | Short-term usage spike | Add credits | | Hitting your limit every month | Upgrade | | Better cost per credit | Upgrade | | Midway through a big project | Add credits | | Adding credits 2+ times monthly | Upgrade | > [!TIP] > > If you find yourself adding credits regularly, upgrading to the next plan offers better value. ## Upgrading mid-cycle When you upgrade, Rocket prorates (Proration calculates the remaining days in your billing cycle and charges (or credits) only for the time you actually use the new plan.) the charge and adjusts your credit balance instantly. **Example:** Upgrading from a base plan to a higher tier on day 15 of a 30-day cycle: | | Amount | | :- | :- | | Credit for unused base plan days | USD 12.50 | | New plan charge for remaining days | USD 25.00 | | **You pay** | **USD 12.50** | Your credits also adjust immediately. If you had used 30 of your base credits, you receive the full new plan allowance minus what you already used. > Ready to upgrade? **Upgrade your plan from the subscription modal.** > > [Open](https://dhiwisepvtltd-5e04e6a4.mintlify.site/getting-started/workspace/subscription.md#upgrade-to-another-plan) ## Downgrading Downgrades take effect at your next billing cycle. You keep your current plan and credit balance until then. ## What happens when you run out? > [!WARNING] > > If your credit balance hits zero, Rocket pauses generation. Wait for your next billing cycle or add credits to continue. Your work remains safe. You keep access to all projects and assets. ## Cancellation > [!WARNING] > > If you cancel your plan, all unused subscription and purchased credits expire at the end of the current billing cycle. Use them before cancellation takes effect. You still have access to your projects and can generate outputs until your credits run out. > Need to cancel? **Learn how to cancel your subscription.** > > [Open](https://dhiwisepvtltd-5e04e6a4.mintlify.site/getting-started/workspace/subscription.md#cancel-your-subscription) ## Frequently asked questions > **Do credit add-ons expire?** > > Credit add-ons do not expire while your subscription is active. If you cancel your plan, all unused credits including add-ons expire at the end of your current billing cycle. > **What's the difference between subscription credits and add-ons?** > > Subscription credits are included in your monthly plan and roll over automatically. Credit add-ons are one-time packs you purchase separately. Both draw from the same balance and are consumed in the same way. > **Do credits reset every month?** > > Unused subscription credits roll over and do not reset. Your balance accumulates until you use them. On yearly plans, credits roll over month-to-month within the year, then reset at renewal. ## What's next? > **[Pricing](https://dhiwisepvtltd-5e04e6a4.mintlify.site/getting-started/pricing.md)** > > Compare plans and find the right fit for your usage. > **[Manage your subscription](https://dhiwisepvtltd-5e04e6a4.mintlify.site/getting-started/workspace/subscription.md)** > > Buy a plan, add credits, or update payment methods. > **[Tokens to Credits](https://dhiwisepvtltd-5e04e6a4.mintlify.site/help/tokens-to-credits.md)** > > Migrating from the old token system?
