thojaeQ: Please explain the credit system
I am currently testing the trial subscription and am generally very impressed with the functionalities. I am considering purchasing the Tier-3 subscription here.
What I do not understand is the credit system. I understand that calling various LLMs and other AI models incurs costs. I believe this is covered by the credits.
Please confirm that this is the case and how I can monitor my credit usage. Or rather, I have no sense of how many credits I am currently using when I execute certain functions. This is of course crucial for choosing whether Tier 1, 2, or 3.

In the AppSumo deal, usage is provided with requests. Requests are real http requests made to the AI providers. It means when you ask something to Alter, it will consume 1 request and each turn of conversation will consume 1 request.
You're right that during trial we don't surface that. I invite you to reach us by email at [email protected] or on Discord so we can take a look at your account and give you the information.
Thanx. Will probably contact you.
What happend if i run out of credits ? I can buy additional ones ? And you wrote "1 request", so one request is one credit ? I think its rally important to know how much credits are still available in a month .

There's no "credits", only requests. In the app, you'll be able to see how much requests you have left with your AppSumo plan.
