Credit System
Below is a concise, product-ready description of MeDo’s platform-level subscription & credits system. Use this as the canonical doc for product pages, help center, or onboarding flows.
1. Credit consumption (what actions spend credits)
All costs are denominated in credits unless otherwise noted.
- Send Query — completes one conversation: 15 / query
- Publish an App — publish to platform: 20 / app
- Enable Backend — keep app backend enabled: 2 / app / day
- Use / Generate a Plugin — when generating a plugin: 5 / plugin
- Duplicate (Copy) Another User’s App — 80 / copy
- Duplicate (Copy) My App — 30 / copy
- Download App Source Code — 70 / download
Consumption priority rules
- MeDo will consume free credits first, then paid/subscription credits.
- Within the same credit pool (free or paid), MeDo will consume credits that are closest to expiry first.
2. How free credits are earned
Free credits are automatically added to users’ accounts according to the actions below:
- New user registration: 300 credits (one-time)
- Daily login: 100 credits / day
- Invite a friend (successful new user sign-up): 300 credits per invited user. (Daily cap: 5,000)
- Publish app to Marketplace & share chat history: 40 credits per publish. (Daily cap: 400)
- Your app is copied by others: 20 credits per copy. (Daily cap: 5,000)
- Your app is liked: 2 credits per like. (Daily cap: 5,000)
- You like another app: 1 credit per like. (Daily cap: 20)
Free credit expiry
Starting November 1, 2025, any newly earned free credits will expire 15 days after they are granted. (Credits earned before that date follow the previously published rules.)
3. Paid credits (subscription plans & how paid credits are issued)
Paid credits are provided via monthly subscription plans. In this doc we call the paid unit “credits” to match existing internal naming; each plan issues the listed credits / month.
| Price (USD / month) | credirs (per month) |
|---|---|
| $20 | 2,000 |
| $40 | 4,000 |
| $80 | 8,000 |
| $150 | 16,000 |
| $250 | 28,000 |
| $400 | 48,000 |
| $600 | 72,000 |
| $800 | 100,000 |
| $1,000 | 124,500 |
| $1,500 | 190,000 |
| $2,000 | 260,000 |
Notes about paid credits and subscriptions
- Paid credits are issued monthly according to the plan you subscribe to.
- Paid credits are consumed after free credits (see consumption priority above). Within paid credit batches, the ones closest to expiry are consumed first.
4. Supplementary rules (billing, upgrades, downgrades, refunds, expiry)
-
Credits expiry / carryover
- At the end of a billing cycle, any remaining subscription credits are converted into carryover credits at the start of the next billing cycle. Those carryover credits will expire after one additional month (i.e., they have one extra month of validity after the cycle in which they were issued).
-
Upgrading mid-cycle
- If a user upgrades their subscription in the middle of a billing period, MeDo charges a pro-rated price for the remaining days of the cycle and grants pro-rated additional credits corresponding to the upgrade.
- Example (policy illustration): upgrading from Plan A to Plan B mid-cycle results in a charge equal to the price difference pro-rated by remaining days; granted extra credits equal to the points difference pro-rated by remaining days.
-
Downgrading
- Downgrades take effect at the start of the next billing cycle. Credits already granted under the higher-tier subscription keep their original expiry timestamps (downgrade does not retroactively remove already-granted credits).
-
Refunds and billing exceptions
- Subscription credits are non-refundable. If you see unexpected or duplicate charges, contact admin@medo.dev and we will investigate.
5. Quick examples & handy clarifications
- If you have 300 free credits and 2,000 subscription credits, calling 10 queries (10 × 15 = 150) will first reduce your free credits to 150, then leave subscription credits untouched.
- If the system grants multiple free-credit batches with different expiry dates, MeDo will spend the batch that expires soonest first.
- From Nov 1, 2025, any free credits earned after that date will only be valid for 15 days — please surface this detail in any UI that shows available free credits.
