Every Tuteliq API call consumes credits. Credit costs vary by endpoint based on processing complexity. Your current balance and usage are always available through the dashboard and the API.
Document analysis uses per-page, per-endpoint pricing. Each page-endpoint combination costs 1 credit, with a minimum of 10 credits to cover extraction overhead. See Document Analysis for detailed examples.

For conversation-based endpoints (`detectGrooming`, `analyzeEmotions`), credits scale with message count. A 25-message conversation costs `ceil(25 / 10) × 3 = 9` credits.
For analyzeVoice, credits scale with audio duration. The base cost of 21 credits covers the first 60 seconds. Each additional minute adds 15 credits. Examples: 2 min = 36 credits, 5 min = 81 credits, 10 min = 156 credits.
Batch processing example
When submitting a batch of 500 text messages through detectUnsafe:
500 messages x 2 credits = 1,000 credits
For a batch of 200 messages through detectGrooming with 15 messages per conversation:
200 conversations x ceil(15 / 10) x 3 = 200 x 6 = 1,200 credits
Purchasing credits
Credits can be purchased from the Tuteliq Dashboard. Navigate to Billing > Purchase Credits to top up your balance. Plans include monthly credit allowances, with overage billing available for high-volume usage.
Tracking usage
Response body
Every API response includes a credits_used field showing the credits consumed by that request:
Configure low-balance notifications in the Dashboard under Settings > Alerts. You can set a credit threshold (e.g., 100 credits remaining) and receive email or webhook notifications before you run out.
What happens when credits run out
When your balance reaches zero, API requests return a `402 Payment Required` error. Upgrade your plan or purchase additional credits from the [Dashboard](https://tuteliq.ai/dashboard) to resume service.
