Understand Credits

What costs credits, what's free, and how plans work

Rills charges for actions, not orchestration. Logic, branching, approvals, and paused workflows are free. You pay for AI model calls and external actions.

#Two credit types

#Workflow Credits

For things that touch the outside world or run your code:

  • External API calls and integration actions (1–3 credits per call)
  • Custom code execution (5 credits per run)
  • Scheduled trigger checks (0.1 credits per check)
  • Email sends and file operations (1–5 credits depending on size)

#AI Credits

For AI model calls, each AI Credit is $0.01 passed through directly to you, we don’t make any profit on AI calls. Cost per call depends on the model and tokens, short prompts on small models are around 1 credit, longer calls on bigger models can be 3–10 or more.

#Free, always

  • Approvals (review, approve, reject, edit)
  • Conditions, loops, delays, transforms, set-variable
  • Triggers (manual, schedule, webhook, integration event)
  • Workflow orchestration and waiting
  • Paused runs (sitting in approval, waiting for a delay)

You can have hundreds of workflows with deep logic and dozens of approval gates and pay nothing as long as nothing is calling out to the world.

#Why this model

Most automation tools meter you per run, per task, per minute, or per user. That punishes building careful workflows. Rills meters only what costs us money to deliver, model calls and external API hits, and leaves the rest free.

Practically, this means:

  • Add as many approval gates as you want.
  • Pause workflows for hours or days waiting on you. No charge.
  • Build complex routing with dozens of conditions and loops. No charge.

You only pay for outcomes.

#Tracking usage

Open Settings → Usage to see:

  • Workflow Credits used / included / remaining for the period
  • AI Credits used / included / remaining
  • Per-workflow breakdown so you can see which workflows are doing the spending
  • Free counters showing how many approvals and logic steps ran (these don’t bill, they’re there so you can see how much orchestration we’re handling for free)
