Limits worth knowing in Pencil
- Core and Growth cannot go past their monthly credits; you upgrade or wait for the reset, and unused credits do not roll over.
- Each AI action costs credits by model and size of the job, so 50 credits can cover very different amounts of work.
- Enterprise terms such as IP assignment, no-train, data ring-fencing and SSO are on Pro, priced through sales.
- Refunds are not given once a paid plan has started after the free trial; cancelling stops billing at the end of the period.
