The risk of unlimited AI features
AI creates value, but every analysis, generation or message has a cost. Without measured credits, a profitable plan can become loss-making.
The healthy logic
A good model includes a monthly quota, consumes subscription credits first, then switches to purchased packs.
- Clear quota per plan.
- Transparent add-on packs.
- Admin-configurable feature costs.
- Visible consumption history.
Why it matters to customers
Customers understand what they pay for, organizations avoid surprises and admins keep predictable AI margins.
