# Credits

> How credits work — monthly allowance, credit packs, costs, and usage monitoring

Rastro meters enrichment with **credits**. You only pay for successful results: credits are charged per **successfully enriched SKU**, and cached or reused results are never charged again.

## What enrichment costs

| Operation                            | Credits per successful SKU |
| ------------------------------------ | -------------------------- |
| Standard enrichment (taxonomy + web) | 7                          |
| Web enrichment only                  | 5                          |
| Taxonomy enrichment only             | 3                          |
| Non-web enrichment                   | 1                          |
| Monitoring extraction                | 1                          |
| Monitoring check                     | Free                       |

<Info>
  Failed SKUs are not charged. Re-running an enrichment that hits cached results is not charged again.

## Where credits come from

Your organization draws from two pools, in order:

1. **Monthly allowance** — credits included with your plan. The allowance resets at the start of each calendar month and unused credits **do not roll over**. The size of the allowance depends on your plan.
2. **Credit packs** — credits you purchase on top of your allowance. Packs **roll over** until they are spent, and are only drawn down once your monthly allowance for the current month is used up.

## Monitoring usage

Go to [**Settings → Credits**](https://dashboard.rastro.ai/settings/credits) in your dashboard to see your organization's:

* **Total available credits**, split by monthly allowance and credit packs
* **Usage over time** — hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly, for any date range
* **Breakdown by purpose** — which features consumed credits
* **Breakdown by user** — which team members drove usage

All figures are scoped to the organization you currently have selected.

## Photo Studio credits

Image and video generation in [Photo Studio](/photo-studio/quickstart) draws from the **same shared credit balance**, with tool-specific costs (see the [cost table](/photo-studio/reference#credits-and-costs)). Photo Studio shows the estimated cost of each operation next to your remaining balance before you apply it, and only successful generations are charged.
