# Billing & Credits

The **Billing & Credits** section lets you manage subscription plans, monitor credit burn, and purchase additional credit packs.

## Billing management

From this section, authorized users can:

* view current subscription,
* change organization plan,
* manage billing details and payments,
* track plan renewals and consumption behavior.

## Credit model overview

Flashgate uses a **credit-based consumption system**. Credits are consumed based on node type and operation profile.

### Consumption rates

#### Public nodes

* **Storage egress**: `10 credits / GB`
* **AI/LLM tokens out**: `0.001 credit / token out`

#### Private nodes

* **Storage egress**: `1 credit / GB`
* **AI/LLM tokens out**: `0.00005 credit / token out`

> Public-node traffic generally consumes credits faster than private-node traffic.

## Plan credit allocations

### Individual

* `10 credits/month`

### Organization Free

* `40 credits/month`
* No monthly/annual paid billing cycle

### Starter

* `1,100 credits/month` or `15,000 credits/year`
* `$100/month` or `$1,000/year`

### Growth

* `9,500 credits/month` or `130,000 credits/year`
* `$300/month` or `$3,000/year`

### Scale

* `89,000 credits/month` or `1,125,000 credits/year`
* `$1,000/month` or `$10,000/year`

## Credit pack top-ups

You can add extra credits with packs (up to **3 packs per month**):

* `+100 credits` for `$20`
* `+500 credits` for `$50`
* `+1,000 credits` for `$100`

## Upgrade and downgrade behavior

* On upgrade: you receive plan credits for the selected billing periodicity.
* On downgrade: already allocated credits for the paid/prepaid period are preserved.
* Example: if a monthly period is already paid, credits remain available during that period.

## API mapping

* Credits: [Credits API](/support-reference/platform-api-reference/credits.md)
* Subscription & billing: [Subscriptions API](/support-reference/platform-api-reference/subscriptions.md)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.flashback.tech/flashgate-platform/organization/billing-and-credits.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
