Cloud Credits

CFAI Pro stays active when Cloud Credits run out

CFAI Pro unlocks the product experience. Chat consumes Cloud Credits, while paid plans include continued chat access on a best-effort basis after those credits run out.

No credit card required. Windows desktop app.

01

Pro access

Unlock CFAI Pro modes and features through a paid plan.

02

Local usage

Local AI and local tools do not consume Cloud Credits.

03

Metered cloud usage

Selected cloud models and services consume credits when invoked.

01

What happens when credits finish

Running out of Cloud Credits does not cancel CFAI Pro. Paid plans include continued chat access on a best-effort basis, while other features that require a metered cloud service pause until credits renew or more are added.

The app should identify the affected service and provide a clear path to continue without implying that the whole subscription has stopped.

02

Why cloud usage is separate

Different AI providers and models have different variable costs. Cloud Credits make that metered usage distinct from local work and the fixed CFAI Pro subscription.

New accounts receive 10 free Cloud Credits so users can experience supported cloud workflows without entering a card first.

Clear boundaries

Local, cloud and human control

LOCAL

Compatible local models, local transcription, file tools and local retrieval do not consume Cloud Credits by themselves.

Users can choose local alternatives where supported and should receive clear notice before or when cloud capacity is exhausted.

Questions

What to know before you start

Is CFAI Pro a 250-credit plan?

No. The EUR 3.99 offer is presented as the CFAI Pro subscription. Cloud usage is an included technical allowance, while Pro remains the user's access level.

Does chat stop when Cloud Credits finish?

Paid plans include continued chat access on a best-effort basis. Other features that require a metered cloud service pause until cloud capacity is available again.

Do local models consume credits?

No. Running a compatible model locally does not consume CFAI Cloud Credits, although it uses the computer's own hardware resources.
