Report quota and cost

A reading run costs a report quota, not per-word billing. This article: how the quota works, where to see it, what happens when you run out.

The quota bar at the bottom of set-up

The bottom of the set-up screen shows this run's usage and your balance, e.g.:

6 report(s) available (This month 0/5 + bonus 1) · This reading uses 1 quota

In short: one reading usually uses 1 report quota — regardless of how many readers or which service you pick.

Where the quota comes from

• Monthly plan allowance — resets monthly per your plan (current numbers at /plans, subject to change).
• Bonus reports — e.g. inviting friends who subscribe earns extra reports.

Where to see your balance

• Bottom of the set-up screen (live, as above)
• Account → Subscription / Reports

When you run out

Out of monthly quota and want to run again → a prompt gives you options:

• Upgrade → more monthly allowance
• Wait for next month's reset
• Earn bonus reports (e.g. referrals)

Making each run count

Each reading uses one quota, so make every run worth it:

• Try a quick run or just a few readers first; go full once the direction is right
• Select only the chapters you care about (e.g. test the first few)
• Revise and rerun to compare — more useful than many scattered runs
