Understanding credits
Semantico uses a credit model to meter AI generation.
How credits work
Section titled “How credits work”Every product generation costs:
Research fee (once per product) + 1 credit per field generated, capped at 10.
Research fee
Section titled “Research fee”| Condition | Fee |
|---|---|
| New product, text fields only | 3 credits |
| New product, with images | 5 credits |
| Already researched product | 0 |
| Adding images to a text-researched product | 2 credits |
| User supplied the content (no web research needed) | 0 |
Research covers scraping, URL search, and image search. It’s charged once per product and only when the crawl succeeds. If the crawl finds nothing, you are not charged.
Once a product has been researched, every later run reuses the research and pays only the per-field fee.
Per-field fee
Section titled “Per-field fee”1 credit per field generated, regardless of field type.
The cap
Section titled “The cap”Research + fields are capped at 10 credits per product. No matter how many fields you generate, one product never costs more than 10.
Variants are added on top: +1 per variant whose research found results.
Examples
Section titled “Examples”| What happens | Credits |
|---|---|
| New product, 1 text field | 4 |
| New product, 1 field + images | 6 |
| New product, 4 text fields | 7 |
| New product, 4 text fields + images | 9 |
| Full run (5+ fields + images) | 10 (cap) |
| Existing product, 1 field | 1 |
| Existing product, 7 fields | 7 |
| Add images to a text-researched product | 2 |
| Existing (text-researched), 7 fields + images | 9 |
When you’re not charged
Section titled “When you’re not charged”- Failed research — if the crawl finds nothing, no research fee is charged.
- User-supplied content — if you provide the product information yourself, research is skipped.
- Already researched products — later runs pay only the per-field fee.
Checking your balance
Section titled “Checking your balance”Your current balance is always visible in the dashboard header. Credits are shared across your whole workspace.
Before generating, the dialog shows an itemized estimate of what the run will cost and whether you have enough credits.
Topping up
Section titled “Topping up”When your balance runs low, email us or book a demo to add more credits. Generation is blocked when your balance is insufficient.
