šŸ’³ Thinkeo Credits

1. šŸ”§ How It Works#

The pay-as-you-use pricing model offered by Thinkeo is based on a credit system.
You consume credits when a User from your Team performs a publication. You don't consume any credits for configuring your Apps.
More specifically, you consume credits when an advanced block is executed from the Publication Interface. These blocks are billed based on the words present in the block (using token logic) or per unit, depending on the block type.
šŸ“˜ Reminder: In Thinkeo, you have two types of blocks: simple blocks and advanced blocks. Simple blocks don't consume credits, so it's possible to create complete workflows and Apps for free without AI.

šŸ“ Simple Blocks#

Paragraph
Group
Choice
Condition

šŸš€ Advanced Blocks#

AI
File
Search
API Call
Word
PPT

šŸ”— Block Nesting and Credit Consumption#

In Thinkeo, credit consumption depends on block nesting:
Simple blocks (Paragraph, Group, Choice, Condition) don't consume credits when used independently
However, when a simple block is nested within an advanced block, it contributes to the parent block's credit consumption

šŸ¤– Example with AI Block#

When an AI block contains simple blocks:
1
Parent Block Consumption
The AI block (parent block) consumes credits for all its content, including the simple blocks it contains
2
Nested Paragraph Blocks
Paragraph blocks used inside the AI block consume credits per token, even though they're normally free when used alone
3
Nested File Blocks
File blocks used inside the AI block consume credits per token AND cost a fixed unit amount. Outside an AI block, they would only cost the fixed amount
āœ… General Rule: The advanced block (parent) determines credit consumption for all blocks it contains, whether they're simple or advanced.
For a better understanding of block execution, we invite you to consult the dedicated documentation.

2. šŸ’° Thinkeo Credit Pricing#

šŸ’Ž Cost Structure#

Cost per Million: €0.1 for 1M Thinkeo credits
Free credits per Team per month: 50M
Each month, this free amount is renewed for the entire Team.

šŸ” Credit Correspondences#

šŸ“š Words Recorded by Search Block (Embedding)#

The Search block feeds a RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) so that uploaded files are split into excerpts (embeddings), allowing questions asked in the Search block to retrieve these excerpts.
1
First Document Upload
When a new document is first uploaded to the Search block, each word consumes one credit
2
30-Day Storage Period
For 30 days, the document will be stored on our servers and will no longer cost credits for this transformation into excerpts
3
Document Expiration
After 30 days, the document will be deleted from our servers. A new upload will therefore consume one credit per word again
Search block token cost during excerpt conversion: 1 credit

🧠 Estimated Consumption per Word, by AI Model#

AI models have different costs for "Input" and "Output":
Input corresponds to the prompt sent to the AI, meaning all words that will compose the AI block (and its child blocks)
Output corresponds to the response generated by the AI
AI models count words in tokens (whole words, word parts, or characters for some models). The following table is indicative to give you a scale of the Thinkeo credit cost for each model per simple word.
