AI credits power the intelligent parts of NoRecruit — sourcing, screening, and message generation. Every plan includes a monthly credit allowance that resets each billing period, and you can top up with credit packs whenever you need more.
Where to find it
In your team workspace sidebar, under Settings, click Billing. The subscription overview card shows a Credit Usage section with an AI Credits (Screening & Messages) bar: credits used out of your total, plus how many are still available. If you've purchased packs, you'll also see "Includes credits through addons".
You'll also see your balance right before spending credits — for example, the screening dialog shows Available AI credits before you confirm a run.
What consumes credits
Action | Cost |
Sourcing prospects/candidates | 1 AI credit per prospect |
AI screening | 1 AI credit per candidate |
Generating a CV in CV Studio | 25 AI credits |
Campaign test runs with AI-generated messages | Varies per message |
Your monthly allowance depends on your plan — the amount is listed on the plan cards on your Billing page (for example, Growth includes 10,000 AI credits per month and Scale includes 50,000).
💡 Tip: Credits are handled fairly: if a CV generation fails, the credits are refunded, and cancelling a screening run refunds the credits for profiles that weren't screened yet.
What happens when you run out
Credit-consuming actions check your balance before they start. If you don't have enough, the run is blocked with a message like: "Insufficient AI credits. This run needs X credits, but only Y are available (Z short). Top up before continuing." Nothing is charged for blocked runs — just top up or wait for your allowance to reset at the start of the next billing period.
Buying extra credits
Team owners on a paid plan can purchase one-time credit packs:
Go to Settings → Billing.
In the Credit Add-ons card ("Need more credits? Purchase additional packs that are valid for 30 days."), find the AI Credit Pack (10,000 credits).
Click Purchase, then complete the secure checkout in the Complete Your Purchase dialog. The current pack price is shown next to the button.
Purchased packs appear on the Billing page in a Your addons card showing Expires on and Credits remaining. Packs are valid for 30 days from purchase, and you'll see an "Expires in X days" warning when a pack is about to run out.
FAQ
Do unused monthly credits roll over? No — your plan allowance resets each billing period. Credit packs are separate and stay valid for 30 days from purchase.
I'm not a team owner — how do I get more credits? Contact your team owner; only owners can purchase credit packs or upgrade the plan.
Does enriching candidate data cost credits? No — data enrichment runs through your own enrichment provider API key (set up under Team Settings → Integrations), so it's billed by the provider directly, not in AI credits.
