# Credits

> How credits work across Ref Context and Ref Plans.

Credits are the shared currency across both Ref products. The same credit pool is used for documentation search (Ref Context) and AI generation in the plan editor (Ref Plans).

## Ref Context tool costs

| Endpoint                   | Credits |
| -------------------------- | ------- |
| ref\_search\_documentation | 1       |
| ref\_read\_url             | 1       |

## Ref Plans credit usage

Credits are consumed when you use AI generation in the Ref Plans editor — for example, asking the agent to research your codebase, structure a plan, or refine tasks.

## Viewing your usage

For users and teams you can view your usage at [ref.tools/activity](https://ref.tools/activity).

## How to get credits

All accounts start with 200 free credits that never expire. Paid tiers include monthly credit allowances, and you can purchase additional credits as pay-as-you-go.
