Q: Credit example
Hello Dawid,
Can you please give an example of the usage? As others said, credits table may be a reason why more aren't giving it a chance.
Imagine I want to translate a 60 sentences, 50 words each, in 70 languages, and that will be delivered to a sheet or whatever. Can I do that once a month and is there an extra cost besides the LTD cost as I don't understand how much "Utility endpoint price" and "AI job floor price" in this situation? Thanks and good luck!

Initially there was a couple of questions about pricing and credit system, please take a look here:
- https://appsumo.com/products/sharpapi/questions/not-getting-the-credit-system-1260771/
and
- https://appsumo.com/products/sharpapi/questions/a-few-questions-regarding-the-usage-limi-1258980/
I hope this explains everything.
The FAQ section on our Pricing page explains the whole topic quite broadly as well (we're updating it whenever a new related question appears from our users or Sumo-lings):

Please let me know if that answers your question or needs a bit of extra explanation.

Regarding your calculation example: "60 sentences, 50 words each, in 70 languages, to be delivered to a sheet or whatever" – please keep in mind that this is a variable pricing AI API, where you’ll be processing units of data (like a record from a database or a spreadsheet) one by one. The exact cost can't be predicted in advance and is only known after the processing finishes.
It's important to note that this API needs to be integrated into an existing software platform/system first.
PUAVPLUSHello Dawid, thank you, I have read all the links you gave and related ones. For the ex. I gave I'm not accessing special API like airport or jobs one, only translation, so it seems that it would fit Tier1 as being under 250k words seems the only applied limit? "I want to translate 60 sentences, 50 words each, in 70 languages." , please confirm. Thanks!
I honestly don't know how much that would cost exactly, please keep in mind there's a minimal floor cost for each AI job (0.01 or 0.008 USD).
Rough estimates:
60*70*0.01 = 42$
60*50*70 = 210k words more or less
Tier 1 should be enough.
ps. please keep in mind that AppSumo LTD Credit quota renews each month. So you could run the same amount of jobs each month for Tier 1
PUAVPLUSI would only run once a month, I would have to pay around $42 each month to run that translation example?
No, you only need the AppSumo LTD Tier 1, paid once; as the name suggests, it’s a lifetime deal. If you anticipate a higher volume in the future, I’d suggest opting for a higher tier. Should you ever run out of monthly quota, you can always add standard monthly credits on top of your AppSumo LTD license. More details are available on our pricing page.

PUAVPLUSSo when you say $42 that means that $42 is under the included monthly threshold?
"Rough estimates:
60*70*0.01 = 42$
60*50*70 = 210k words more or less"
That's just my estimate based on your numbers. If they're correct then you have a chance to fit within Tier 1.
PUAVPLUSThank you, appreciate your time. Regards
no problem, any time!
