Every AI-powered action in Startup Ignition — generating an analysis, running an AI interview, producing a video storyboard — consumes credits. Credits ensure fair usage and let you control costs.
Go to Settings → Billing to see your current credit balance, broken down into subscription credits (which reset each billing cycle) and purchased credits (which never expire).
