Your Usage Plan: Email and SMS Credits
Every email, SMS, or push notification you send to your fans consumes part of the credits included in your plan. This screen tells you how many credits you have left, how much you’ve spent this month per channel, and when the counter renews.
In this guide you’ll see how to get to the screen and what each number means. About 2 minutes.

Right block: equivalent to
Credits are a common currency that converts into different units depending on the channel:
- One email credit is worth many more sends than one SMS credit, because the cost per SMS is higher.
- WhatsApp appears as unlimited on the Enterprise plan: it doesn’t consume credits from your general balance.
- Channels marked FREE (WhatsApp, AI, Chatbot) don’t subtract from your credit balance.
This month’s sends
This section shows the history for the current calendar month. The counter resets on the first day of each month, independent of your plan’s renewal date.
