How credits work and how to save them

What uses credits, what a typical task costs, and how to make your allowance last.

Credits measure the work Viktor does for you. Every plan includes a monthly allowance that resets each billing cycle. You only pay for the work Viktor actually does, with no per-seat licenses and no minimums.

What uses credits

• Conversations in threads, where Viktor reads context and takes actions.
• Scheduled tasks that run automatically on a recurring basis. Frequency adds up.
• Media generation, including images, audio, and video.

What a task typically costs

A rough guide to how credits map to real work:

• Quick tasks: 100-300 credits. For example, summarize a Slack thread and flag follow-ups, or update a CRM record.
• Complex workflows: 500-1,500 credits. For example, make a change on your website and prepare a preview to review.
• Full projects: 2,000-5,000 credits. For example, a 12-page competitive analysis PDF with a feature matrix and pricing comparison.

Smart caching keeps these down. Viktor reuses context and results across tasks, so repeated workflows cost fewer credits than running everything fresh.

What happens to unused credits

Unused monthly plan credits roll over for one month, so your balance keeps working for you instead of disappearing at the end of each billing cycle. Free trial and bonus credits never expire and stay in your account permanently.

How to save credits

• Keep requests specific so Viktor does not explore more than it needs to.
• Review scheduled tasks and pause any you no longer need.
• Break very large jobs into clear steps instead of one open-ended request.
