When you use credits, you’re using AI models through SheetXAI’s API keys. Credits are consumed using:
Base cost × Model cost = Total credits used
Base cost (what you’re doing)
- Chatbot operations: base cost of 5 credits per operation the agent performs
- Cell-by-cell operations (SAI commands): base cost of 1 credit
Model cost (which model you choose)
Different models have different costs. Lighter models cost fewer credits; more powerful models cost more.
Examples
- Chatbot operation with GPT-4o mini: (5 × 2 = 10) credits per operation
- SAI command with GPT-4o mini: (1 × 2 = 2) credits per row
- Chatbot operation with Claude Sonnet: (5 × 5 = 25) credits per operation
Important notes
- Some actions (like creating pivot tables or marking many rows) count as one operation, not per-row.
- Even if your sheet has a huge number of rows, a single “do this to the whole sheet” request can still count as one operation.
- Analysis operations use a flat-fee pricing model (instead of per-row pricing), which is often much more cost-effective.
