Credits explained
Judicio charges one currency: credits. Every AI action draws from a single pool, your plan tops that pool up each billing period, and you can buy more whenever you want. This page is the one place prices are stated. Every other page in these docs links here rather than repeating them.
Open Billing & invoices (opens in a new tab)Where your balance lives
Select Billing & Invoices in the Settings rail, or the same entry in the avatar menu. The page you land on is headed Billing & invoices, with the line Manage your subscription, credits, and payment history.
The Credit balance card sits directly under the plan banner, above the tabs. It is read only: every action that changes your balance lives on the tabs below it.
The Credit balance card
The plan banner sits above the card and the tabs sit below it, so the pool is always read next to the plan that fills it. The ring gives the number you usually want, and the four figures beside it say how it was arrived at.
| Part of the card | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| The ring | Remaining credits, labelled credits left. It fills with the share of the whole pool you have not spent. |
| Allocated | Credits your plan granted for this billing period. On an organisation this is the per-seat grant multiplied by your seat count. |
| Purchased | Credits you bought on top. |
| Used | Credits consumed so far this period. |
| Remaining | What is left. This is the figure the ring shows. |
| Subtitle | Your shared pool this billing period, followed by the date the period resets. |
| Equivalents line | What the remaining balance buys, in plain actions, plus its money value in your currency. |
| Upload line | Free upload pages left this billing period. |
What each action costs
Prices are per action, and they do not vary with your plan. The features that process whole documents open a confirmation first, which quotes the exact cost against your remaining balance, so a long run is never a surprise.

What is free
Reading, filtering, sorting, editing and exporting a finished result cost nothing. Clarifying questions inside Research and Drafting are free. In Lookup, re-reading a record your organisation has already paid for costs nothing, and so does importing an order whose text arrived with the case. Uploading the same file twice does not process it twice.
Deep Mode and the cheaper mode
Most features run in two modes. The cheaper mode is the default. Judicio does not use one word for it: Timeline, Document Review and Review Matrix call it Concise on their own confirmation screens, while Research, Drafting and Case Strategy call it Standard. The table above follows each feature's own wording.
Deep Mode is the premium pass. It costs more per run or per page, and it is a plan entitlement rather than a setting you turn on once. See Deep Mode for which plans include it and what the locked control looks like.
The order credits are spent
A charge is taken from your plan allocation first. Only the part that does not fit spills over into any bonus credits you hold, oldest first, and then into credits you purchased, again oldest first. That is why the Overview tab separates included credits used from on-demand credits used: the second number is the spend that went beyond your plan.
What carries over, and what does not
Your plan allocation belongs to one billing period. A new period opens a fresh allocation, so an unspent plan balance does not stack on top of the next one.
Credits you buy behave differently. A pack has no expiry date, it sits behind your plan allocation in the spending order, and it stays attached to you rather than to one subscription, so an unspent pack is still yours on your next active subscription. This is what the plans mean by Credit top-ups never expire.
Free document uploads
Processing a file is free up to a page allowance that refreshes with your billing period. Past the allowance, uploads keep working and simply continue at 0.5 credits per page from your pool. Nothing is blocked, and no upload is cut off.
| Plan | Free upload pages per billing period |
|---|---|
| Free trial | 500 |
| Starter | 5,000 |
| Professional | 10,000 |
| Organization | 10,000 per seat, pooled across the team |
The balance card and the Credits tab both show how many free pages you have left. Once the allowance is used up the line reads Included upload pages used. Uploads continue at 0.5 credits/page.
Asking Judicio to read a file again, rather than uploading it for the first time, is charged at the page rate rather than covered by the allowance.
The Overview tab
Overview is the tab the billing page opens on. Three tiles run across the top: included credits used, on-demand credits used with an estimated money figure, and credits remaining with the date they reset.
Below them sit two cards.
| Card | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Included usage | A progress bar of allocated credits used against the total, the billing period dates, a percentage, and See where your credits go, which opens the Usage & Analytics page. |
| On-demand & balances | The credits ring, a spend gauge against your limit, and rows for On-demand used, Purchased balance and Spend vs limit, with Set spending limit and Buy credits. |
When your remaining credits fall to a fifth of the pool or below, a warning appears above the tiles reading You're running low on credits, with a Buy credits button beside it.
Capping your spend
Set spending limit on the On-demand & balances card opens a modal titled Set spending limit, subtitled Control your monthly on-demand credit spending. You'll be notified when approaching the limit.
| Control | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly limit | Top of the modal | A numeric field with a $ prefix. The two buttons beside it step the value down and up by 100. |
| Alert threshold | Below the divider | A slider from 0 to 100 with the note Get notified when you reach this percentage. The value reads out to its right. |
| Save limit | Footer | Writes the limit and the threshold. |
| Cancel | Footer | Closes without saving. |
The limit is expressed in dollars only, on every account, whichever currency you are billed in. Until you set one there is no limit, and the modal opens at 500 with the threshold at 75%.
The limit governs credit purchases, not feature runs. If a pack would take you past it, the purchase is refused and the reason appears inside the purchase modal, with the limit, what you have spent this period, and an Adjust spending limit button that reopens this form. Nothing stops a run mid-flight because of the limit; running out of credits is a separate state.
Credit alerts
Credit alerts is the card below the Overview tab content. It carries one switch, Email me when my credits are running low, with the note Sent to your account email when your balance gets low. The switch is your own preference, not an organisation setting, and the same control appears under Settings, Preferences, Notifications in the Billing & Credits group.
Buying more credits
Buy credits opens Purchase additional credits. Credit packs are sold in four sizes: 1,250, 2,500, 5,000 and 12,500 credits. Each tile shows the pack size, its price in your currency, the price per credit and roughly how many research questions it buys. The 5,000-credit pack carries a Most popular badge.
Pick a pack
Select a tile, then Continue. Nothing is charged until you reach the payment step, so you can open this modal to compare the packs and close it again.
Packs are for paid plans. On the free trial the purchase surface is not offered, and a trial account that reaches it is told to upgrade to a paid plan first.
- Select a pack. Continue moves to the summary.
- The summary repeats the pack, its one-time price, and two promises: Credits never expire and Available immediately after purchase. Back returns to the grid.
- Proceed to payment takes payment. Depending on how your account is billed you either complete payment in a secure modal without leaving Judicio, or you are handed to a secure payment page.
- On success the modal is titled Purchase complete, headed Credits added, with a receipt showing your previous balance, the credits purchased, your new total and the amount paid. Done closes it.
The same pack tiles appear inline on the Credits tab under Purchase additional credits, with the line Credits are available immediately. They are shown to paid-plan owners and organisation admins only.
The Credits tab
Credits repeats the four pool figures as tiles, and adds View purchase & top-up history, which expands a table of date, credits, amount and status. Below it, Credit usage by feature (current billing period) lists one bar per feature showing credits consumed against your allocation.
Where the pool went
The per-feature bars answer a different question from the tiles above them: not how much is left, but which tool spent it. On an organisation these are the whole firm's runs, because one pool serves everybody.
Running out
An empty pool blocks new runs. You are sent to a page headed You're out of credits with View plans and Buy credits. See When access is blocked.
