AI Credits & Usage

Feedy McFeed Feed uses a credit system for AI features. Each plan includes monthly AI credits, with options to purchase additional credits as needed.

Credit Allocation by Plan

Plan	Monthly Credits	Reset Date
Free	50	Monthly
Starter	500	Monthly
Growth	2,000	Monthly
Pro	10,000	Monthly

Credits reset on your billing date each month. Unused credits don’t roll over.

Credit Usage

Each AI operation uses credits:

Operation	Credits Used
Title optimization (per product)	1 credit
Description optimization (per product)	1 credit
Category suggestion (per product)	1 credit
Product highlights (per product)	1 credit
Short title optimization (per product)	1 credit

Calculating Usage

Example: Optimizing 100 products with titles and descriptions:

100 products × 1 credit (titles) = 100 credits
100 products × 1 credit (descriptions) = 100 credits
Total: 200 credits

Managing Credit Usage

Priority Optimization

Focus credits on high-impact products:

Best sellers — Products with highest sales
High visibility — Products in ads
Problem products — Items with issues
New arrivals — Recently added products

Selective Operations

Run only needed optimizations:

Situation	Recommended Operation
Weak titles, good descriptions	Titles only
Missing categories	Categories only
Complete refresh	All operations

Batch Processing

Optimize products in batches:

Start with most important products
Monitor credit usage
Continue with remaining products

Low Credit Warnings

Feedy McFeed Feed warns you when credits are running low:

Warning Level	Notification
25% remaining	Dashboard notice
10% remaining	Email notification
0% remaining	AI features paused

When Credits Run Out

If you exhaust your credits:

AI features are temporarily disabled
Existing optimizations remain unchanged
Feeds continue to work normally
Purchase credits or wait for monthly reset

Credit Efficiency Tips

Use Templates Instead of AI

For simple changes, use title templates:

{brand} {title} - {color} - {size}
No credits needed
Instant results

Batch Similar Products

Products with similar attributes can share optimizations:

Run AI on one product
Apply similar results to related products
Uses fewer credits than individual optimization

Focus on Gaps

Only optimize products that need it:

Filter for incomplete data
Run AI on filtered results
Skip already-optimized products

API Credit Usage (Advanced)

For API users, credits work the same:

POST /api/ai/optimize
{
  "products": ["id1", "id2"],
  "operations": ["title", "description"]
}

// Response includes credit usage
{
  "credits_used": 4,
  "credits_remaining": 496
}
