HubSpot Credits

Definition

HubSpot credits are a usage-based currency for certain features — notably AI and some premium actions — where you consume credits as you use them, on top of your subscription. They let HubSpot meter consumption-based capabilities rather than bundling everything into a flat seat price.

Key takeaways

  • Credits meter usage of certain features, especially AI-powered ones.
  • They're consumed as you use the feature, separate from seat pricing.
  • Monitoring credit usage helps control costs.

How credits work

Some capabilities — particularly AI actions and certain premium features — draw down a balance of credits as they run. You get an allotment with your plan and can buy more; tracking consumption keeps usage-based features from producing surprise costs.
