How to purchase Credits

After selecting the number of credits (500k / 1M) and clicking the "Continue" button, you purchase credits for the artificial intelligence chatbot:

it allows you to:

  • Chat with the BigBeluga AI assistant

  • Use longer conversations without limits


How the Credit System Works

BigBeluga uses a token-based AI system, where credits are consumed based on how much data is sent to or from the chatbot (not just message count).

Key Points:

  • One "credit" = roughly 1 token.

  • Tokens are used per message, but also include:

    • Context/history from previous messages

    • Your question

    • The AI’s full response

  • More message history = more tokens used per request.


How Much Do You Get?

  • 500,000 tokens (~$5)250 AI messages

  • 1,000,000 tokens (~$9)500 AI messages

(Assuming one message + reply consumes ~2,000 tokens on average)


Summary for Users

  • Your credit balance shows how much AI interaction time you still have.

  • When you're chatting with the AI, every message costs credits based on size + context.

  • You can top up anytime with one-time purchases.

  • 500k tokens should last an average user quite a while if they keep chats concise.
