AI Credits
CoachGPT runs on credits. Each AI generation — a check-in recommendation, a client progress summary, an exercise program draft, or a meal plan draft — uses one credit.
You get credits two ways:
- A monthly allowance based on your plan, which resets each month.
- Bonus credits earned by referring other coaches, which don’t expire monthly.
Monthly allowance
| Plan | Credits / month |
|---|---|
| Free | 3 |
| Grow | 15 |
| Professional | 50 |
CoachGPT is available on every plan, including Free — the Free tier includes 3 credits each month. Earned bonus credits stack on top and are used after the monthly allowance.
Bonus credits
When you refer another coach and they sign up and pay their first month, you both receive bonus credits. Bonus credits:
- Don’t reset monthly — they carry over until used.
- Are spent after your monthly allowance is used up.
- Work on any plan, including Free.
See Refer a Coach for how to share your link and track referrals.
How a credit is counted
A credit is used each time you click Generate on any CoachGPT tool. Each generation counts as one, regardless of how long the response is.
If a generation fails partway through (network or model error), the credit is rolled back — it doesn’t count.
When the monthly allowance resets
The monthly allowance is calendar-month based, UTC. On the 1st of each month at 00:00 UTC, your monthly usage resets to your full quota. Bonus credits are unaffected by the reset.
For coaches in US timezones, the reset lands late on the last day of the month — 8 PM Eastern, 5 PM Pacific.
Where to see your balance
The coin in the header shows your remaining credits at a glance, and its color reflects how many are left. Tap it for a breakdown of monthly versus bonus credits. Each generation card also shows the credits remaining after you generate.
What happens when you run out
When both your monthly allowance and bonus credits are gone, the Generate button shows “CoachGPT monthly limit reached.” Your clients’ data is unaffected — you can still review and work manually.
Getting more credits
- Upgrade your plan from Settings → Billing to raise your monthly allowance. Upgrades take effect immediately.
