Understanding Your Account
Credits
AI-powered features use credits from your account balance:
- Free accounts receive daily credits that refresh automatically
- Pro accounts receive a monthly credit allocation
- Team workspaces share a credit pool across all members
Credits are consumed by AI Search and AI-powered generators. Basic generators like Bulk Check and All Extensions don't require credits.
Workspaces
Your workspace is your home base -- it holds your projects, credits, and team members. You start with a personal workspace and can create team workspaces for collaboration. Learn more in Workspaces & Teams.
Projects
Projects organize your naming work. Each AI search automatically creates a project to store your results, favorites, and search history. Learn more in Projects & Management.
