Plans
Free: $0/month, 100 credits per month. No credit card required.
Starter: $5/month, 500 credits per month. Best for regular use. Upgrade from Plans settings.
Free credits reset on your signup anniversary. Starter credits reset monthly on your payment renewal date. Unused credits do not roll over.
What are credits?
100 credits = $1. Credits map directly to actual AI model costs with no markup. Prefer dollars? Click any credit amount — or the Credits / $ toggle on the Plans page — to switch the display to its USD value. To see credits used for a specific message, use Details (ⓘ) under the message. See Message footer buttons.
What the charges are for
Every deduction carries a reason, shown in the usage history CSV and by Bravo when you ask about your spending:
- message: a message you sent in a chat. The bulk of most spending.
- digest: the short summary Bravo keeps for each chat.
- compaction: folding a long chat's earlier messages into a summary so the chat can keep going.
- memory_observer, kb_observer: the background pass that notices what is worth remembering or filing into a Topic.
- memory_selection, memory_integration, memory_review, memory_edit, memory_digest: upkeep of your memory, on a schedule or when you ask for a change, with review the editorial pass over everything already there.
- kb_selection, kb_integration, kb_review, kb_edit, kb_build, kb_digest: the same upkeep for a Topic, plus the first build of a new one.
Credit packs (add-ons)
Starter subscribers can purchase add-on credit packs: 500 credits for $5 (one-time). Packs expire 6 months after purchase, so they're typically consumed after your monthly credits, which expire sooner. Credit packs and bonus credits do not reset. Once used, they're gone.
Purchase from Plans settings → “Add Credits”.
See Plans settings.
Which credits get used first?
Whichever credits expire soonest get used first, regardless of type. Credits that would otherwise be lost at a reset or expiry are spent before longer-lived ones.
In practice, your monthly plan credits are usually consumed before credit packs and bonus credits (one-off credits from our support team), since those last for months rather than resetting every month. But a pack or bonus credit close to expiring gets used first.
Cancelled or errored messages
If a message is cancelled or errors out after partial work was done, credits are charged for the work Bravo already performed. If Continue appears in chat, it asks Bravo to keep going from the partial answer. If Retry appears, it asks Bravo to run another attempt, which may use additional credits for the new work. See Cancelled or errored replies.
If a failed or repeated attempt appears to waste credits, email humans@bravo.ai and our support team can help with a refund.
Check your balance
View your credit balance and usage at Plans settings. You can also ask Bravo “how many credits do I have?” directly in the chat.
See Plans settings.
Usage history
Download a CSV of your credit usage from Plans settings → “Usage History”. Select a date range (up to 90 days). You can also ask Bravo “how many credits did this chat cost?” or “what has been using my credits?” directly in the chat.
See Plans settings.
The CSV has one row per ledger entry:
- Positive amounts are grants: credits added to your account (signup, monthly renewal, credit packs, bonus credits).
- Negative amounts are deductions; the Reason column says which kind. See What the charges are for.
- Subject and Link say what a deduction was for (a message, a chat, a Topic, or your memory) and link to it. A link is included when available, and a deleted chat or Topic may no longer open.
- Period Start and Period End are the window a grant's credits are good for, and Note appears only on grants that have one.
- Model is the AI model behind that entry, so it can vary within one chat if you switch models. See Choosing a model.
- Tools lists the paid calls that happened inside the message: our own side LLMs (e.g. Gmail search, page read) and third-party services (e.g. web search providers, and contact/company lookups). Each entry is labeled, with the underlying model after a colon when it differs from the main conversation model.
When credits run out
- At 10 or fewer credits: a dismissible low-credit warning appears near the message box.
- At 0 credits: sending is blocked until credits reset, you upgrade, or more credits are added.
- Running out mid-reply ends the response with what was done so far, billed as usual, and a note on what still remains. After you add credits, just ask Bravo to keep going.
Cancellation
Cancel anytime via Plans settings → “Manage plan”. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. No partial refunds.
Your plan stays active until that date. You can reactivate anytime before then via “Manage plan”. When that billing period ends, any remaining Starter credits expire and you're downgraded to Free with 100 Free credits. Any remaining credit packs stay available until their own expiry date.
Uninstalling the Chrome extension does not cancel a paid subscription.
Payment failures
If a payment fails, your plan enters a “past due” state. During this time your existing credits remain usable, but no new credits are issued.
Bravo retries the payment automatically for about two weeks. Payments are processed by Stripe, so Bravo does not store your card details. If a retry succeeds, your plan returns to active and new credits are issued. If all retries fail, your subscription is cancelled and you're downgraded to Free with 100 credits.
