# Shared Credits

Learn how credits work in a team environment and how usage is tracked.

## How Team Credits Work

In Samsa, credits are shared across your entire organization. All team members draw from the same pool of credits, making it easy to manage creative resources together.

### Shared Credit Pool

Your organization has one credit balance that:

-   All team members can use
    
-   Is replenished monthly based on your plan
    
-   Resets each billing cycle (unused credits don't carry over)
    
-   Can be topped up at any time
    

### Monthly Credit Allowance by Plan

### Tracking Usage

**Organization-wide view:**

1.  Go to **Organization** > **Usage**
    
2.  See total credits used this period
    
3.  View breakdown by member
    
4.  Check remaining credits
    

**Individual usage:**

-   Each member can see their own usage in account settings
    
-   Usage is attributed to the person who initiated the generation
    

### Managing Credit Usage

**Tips for teams:**

-   Monitor usage regularly to avoid running out
    
-   Set expectations about credit usage per project
    
-   Prioritize important work during low-credit periods
    
-   Consider upgrading if consistently running low
    

**For admins:**

-   Review usage reports to understand patterns
    
-   Identify high-usage activities
    
-   Plan for busy periods
    

### Adding More Credits

If you need more credits:

1.  Go to **Organization** > **Billing**
    
2.  Click **Add Credits** or **Top Up**
    
3.  Select amount to purchase
    
4.  Complete payment
    
5.  Credits are added immediately
    

### Credit Notifications

The system notifies you when:

-   Credits are running low (configurable threshold)
    
-   Monthly credits have been replenished
    
-   Additional credits have been added
    

Admins receive all notifications. Members are notified when generating with low credits.
