Credits
Learn how credits work in Pointer.
Overview
Pointer uses a credit-based system to manage and track usage across different features and operations.
Credits are the primary currency for using Pointer’s features, ensuring fair and transparent usage tracking.
Oftentimes, 1 chat message is equivalent to 1 credit, and 1 guide is equivalent to 4 credits. This is a strong estimate based on testing, but the actual cost may vary depending on certain factors (e.g., conversation length, knowledge base size, etc.).
Credit costs
1 chat message is equivalent to 1 credit. This is usually for simple question-answer interactions. For example, a question like “What’s the purpose of this function?” would typically be 1 credit.
1 guide is equivalent to 4 credits. This is for more complex questions that require a more detailed explanation. Most guides are usually 4-5 steps, which would typically cost 4 credits. For more complex guides, cost may be higher.
A typical 4-credit guide might look like this:
- User: “How do I create a new project?”
- Guide steps:
- Step 1: “Navigate to the ‘Projects’ page in the dashboard.”
- Step 2: “Click on the ‘New Project’ button.”
- Step 3: “Enter the project name.”
- Step 4: “Enter the project description.”
- Step 5: “Click on the ‘Create’ button.”
