How are AI credits and export credits counted?

There are three kinds of credits: AI credits (shared by polish, translate, AI draft, JD match and every other AI tool), export credits (shared by PDF and Word), and mock interview sessions.

Free accounts

Signing up grants 3 AI credits + 1 export, valid for 30 days;
Referrals: your friend gets 5 AI + 2 exports for signing up with your invite code; you get 3 AI + 1 export once that friend completes their first resume export (invite link is in the avatar menu, top right);
When a referred friend buys their first plan (the 7-Day Pass counts too), you get 3 days of Pro. Every such friend counts, with no cap.

Pro plans

Unlimited exports (both PDF and Word);
PDF export for PRO templates (the ones marked PRO in the template library);
AI credits by plan: 7-Day Pass — 100 for the week; Monthly — 500 per billing month; 90-Day Job-Hunt Pass — 1,500 for the 90 days; Annual — 6,000 per year;
Mock interviews: 3 / 10 / 36 / 120 sessions respectively;
Plan-granted credits are cleared when the membership ends — use them within the period;
Current pricing is on the pricing page.

How usage is counted

Each AI call costs 1 credit; the advanced engine costs 3 per call (it's more expensive to run);
JD-targeted diagnosis and the AI health-report reading are Pro-only features;
Re-downloading a file from Export history is free.

FAQ

I still have export credits. Why can't I export a PDF with a PRO template?

Templates marked PRO can be edited and previewed on a free account, but exporting them as a PDF needs Pro, however many export credits you have left. To use your remaining credits, either:

click Current template below the editor (in the new version: the template button in the top bar) and pick a template under Free, then export the PDF; or
keep the template and export Word instead (the Word button on the desktop toolbar, none on the classic phone editor; in the new version Export ▾ → Export Word on desktop, Preview → Export ▾ → Export Word on a phone). Word uses a simple single-column layout rather than the template's design, so the PRO restriction doesn't apply.

Either way it uses 1 export credit. To export a PDF in the PRO template's design, upgrade to Pro. When the upgrade window pops up, you can also click Switch to a free template instead to open the template library on Free.

My membership ended. Can I still use my PRO template?

You can keep editing and previewing it, but exporting it as a PDF needs Pro again, or switch to a free template. The first time you open a resume with a PRO template after your membership ends, the editor shows a one-time note at the top with Renew Pro and Switch to a free template.

I ran out of credits — what now?

Upgrade to Pro for a larger allowance, or invite friends for bonus credits. Core free features (editing, saving, templates, the rule-based health check) never consume credits.

Why did my balance drop suddenly?

Two common reasons: sign-up bonus credits expire 30 days after registration, and plan-granted credits are cleared when a membership period ends. Your current balance is shown on the dashboard.

How much does translating a whole resume cost?

One full translation counts as 1 AI credit (3 with the advanced engine). Per-field polish counts each field as its own call.
