Plane AI credits
Plane AI credits measure AI usage in Plane Cloud.
IMPORTANT
AI credits apply only to Plane Cloud.
On self-hosted instances, you use your own AI provider API key, and all AI usage and costs are managed directly through your provider.
How credits are assigned
Credits are included per paid seat.
- Each active seat gets a monthly included credit amount based on your plan.
- Included credits are account-level entitlements tied to seats.
- This model is designed to be simple and predictable, similar to how modern AI products commonly package usage.
For current included amounts by plan, check the latest pricing details on Plane pricing.
No default pooling
Plane AI credits are not pooled by default.
That means one member's unused included credits are not automatically shared across the rest of the workspace.
What happens when included credits run out
If a member (or your workspace's included capacity) runs out of available credits for the billing period, AI usage can stop unless overage is enabled.
Workspace admins can enable a workspace-level overage setting so teams can continue using AI after included credits are exhausted.
Workspace overage
When workspace overage is enabled:
- AI usage continues after included credits are consumed.
- Additional usage is billed at the workspace level.
- Admins stay in control of whether overage is allowed.
If overage is disabled, new AI actions are paused after included credits are exhausted until credits reset or additional capacity is purchased/enabled.
Tracking and controls
Plane provides usage visibility so admins can manage cost and adoption:
- Current credit balance and consumption trends
- Workspace-level usage monitoring
- Billing visibility for additional usage when overage is enabled
