Credits Calculation

Understand exactly how Yawn credits work—how you earn them, how you spend them, and what you get.

How Credits Work

Yawn uses a credit-based system to provide fair, transparent pricing. Credits are the currency you use to interact with our AI. Each interaction consumes credits based on the action performed.

Simple formula: 1 credit = 1 AI message. That's it. No hidden costs, no variable pricing, no surprise charges.

Credit Policies

Credit Expiration

Subscription credits refresh each billing cycle. Unused credits do not roll over to the next month. One-time purchase credits do not expire as long as your account remains active.

Refund Policy

Subscription fees are non-refundable for the current billing period. You may cancel at any time and continue to use your remaining credits until the end of your billing cycle. Unused credits from one-time purchases are non-refundable but remain in your account indefinitely.

Fair Use

Credits are for personal or family use as described in our service. Automated, bulk, or commercial use of credits beyond intended individual engagement may result in account limitations. We reserve the right to adjust credit consumption rates with 30 days notice.

Account Closure

Upon account closure or termination, any remaining credits are forfeited. We encourage you to use your credits before closing your account.

Price Changes

We reserve the right to modify pricing and credit allocation. Existing subscribers will be notified at least 30 days before any changes affect their plan. Changes will apply to the next billing cycle after the notice period.

Our Commitment to Transparency

  • Full Transaction History

    Every credit transaction is logged. You can view your complete credit history in your account settings.

  • Real-time Balance

    Your credit balance is always visible in the app header. No surprises.

  • Low Balance Alerts
