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.

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. Learn more about pricing tiers
