Workshop uses a credit-based system that provides transparent pricing for AI development work. You only pay for actual AI and compute usage — when you are building actively, you use credits for powerful AI assistance. When you are not building, you are not charged.

​

Plans

All plans include Workshop Cloud, Workshop Desktop, and the full ecosystem of connectors (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Google Gemini, BigQuery, Snowflake, Supabase, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, GitHub, Google Sheets, AWS S3).

​

Understanding Credits

​

AI Credits

AI Credits are Workshop’s unit of AI computation. Each interaction with the AI consumes credits based on:

• Complexity of the request — Simple questions use fewer credits than complex code generation
• Context size — Longer conversations require more context processing, increasing cost per message
• Feature utilization — Advanced features like Thinking Mode may use additional credits

​

Real-Time Usage Tracking

Workshop provides transparent usage tracking:

• Usage indicator in the bottom-right corner shows credits used and percentage of the LLM context window
• Credit balance is always visible in your account dashboard and updates after each interaction
• Usage page shows detailed credit consumption history and expiration dates

​

Cloud Credits

Cloud Credits measure your usage of Workshop’s cloud compute features, such as running deployed applications. This is separate from AI Credits, which are consumed during conversations with the AI agent. Cloud Credits reset each billing period and do not roll over. For additional cloud compute capacity, contact help@workshop.ai.

​

Credit Packs

If you run out of credits included in a paid plan (Build, Scale, or Max), you can purchase Credit Packs: Key features:

• Available immediately upon purchase
• Stack with monthly plan allocations
• Volume discounts on larger packs (bonus credits start at $100)
• Scale plan subscribers get 10% more credits; Max plan subscribers get the largest discount

​

Credit Rollover

• Discover plan credits do not roll over
• Build, Scale, and Max plan subscription credits expire 3 months after acquisition
• Credit Pack credits expire 3 or 6 months after the subscription renewal following the pack purchase date, depending on pack size

Usage Optimization

​

Getting the Most from Your Credits

Efficient Conversation Management:

• Start new conversations when context gets large
• Use Context Management to optimize AI memory
• Break large projects into focused conversations
• Commit progress regularly to maintain context

Strategic Feature Usage:

• Enable Thinking Mode for challenging problems (reduces overall credit usage)
• Use /compact proactively to manage context size (see auto-compaction)
• Leverage Plan Mode for efficient project scoping
• Use Custom Instructions to reduce repeated guidance

Project Structure:

• Organize projects with clear, focused goals
• Use incremental development approaches
• Document decisions to reduce re-explanation
• Leverage version control for checkpoint management
