Membership, Plans, Credits & Your Account

AI Intelligence LIVE separates access into membership, Terminal plans, analysis credits, and the AI Trends Weekly Report subscription. Plans determine Terminal access, seats, and monthly credit allowances, while credits pay for specific AI-generated actions. Your account pages show billing, usage, team seats, preferences, purchases, and the access currently available to you.

Section 9: Membership, Plans, Credits & Your Account

AI Intelligence LIVE has three separate things you can pay for: a Terminal subscription (access to the AI Intelligence Terminal), analysis credits (which power AI-generated reports, topic analysis and AI queries), and the AI Trends Weekly Report subscription. A subscription includes a monthly credit allowance; you can also buy extra credits at any time. There is currently no free trial.

How Analysis Credits Work

Credits are spent only when you generate AI content. Your plan's monthly credits arrive at the start of each billing period and unused credits carry over. Purchased credit packs never expire. You always see the credit cost on the button before you confirm.

Good to know: re-asking a question you already asked in the Terminal reuses your saved answer and costs nothing. Exporting a panel (CSV, PDF, share or email) never costs credits.

Billing Questions

Is there a free trial?

No. The free trial has been retired. You can explore the Terminal demos and the tutorial for free before subscribing.

Do unused credits expire?

No. Plan credits carry over month to month and purchased credit packs never expire.

Can I change plans?

Yes. Upgrade or downgrade from Billing & Subscription; the change takes effect on your next billing date and your credit balance is preserved.

How do I cancel?

Account → Billing & Subscription → Cancel Subscription. You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for.

Where are my invoices?

Account → Billing & Subscription → Invoice History. Every payment has a downloadable receipt.

Does a Team plan share credits?

Yes. The 750 monthly credits on Terminal Team are shared across the team, and admins can see usage per member.

How many people can use a Team plan?

Ten full-access seats (Admin or Analyst), plus unlimited free Viewers. Viewers can read shared reports through a viewer link and do not use a seat.
