Pooled Credits

Pooled credits let you share your subscription credits with other people. As an admin, you create a credit pool from your account, and members you invite can draw from your shared credit balance to use ModelMonkey.

This is useful for teams, classrooms, or any group where one person manages the subscription and others need access to AI-powered spreadsheet features.

Key points:

• The pool uses credits from the admin's subscription
• Members don't need their own subscription—they use credits from the pool
• Credit usage is tracked per member, so you can see who's using what

To create a credit pool, you need an active team subscription plan:

• Team Starter
• Team Standard
• Team Plus

Individual plans (Starter, Standard, Plus) do not support pooled credits. Visit our team pricing page to see available team plans.

One pool per admin — Each admin account can create a single credit pool. If you need multiple pools, each one requires a separate admin with their own team subscription.

One pool per member — Each user can only belong to one pool at a time. To join a different pool, you must leave your current one first.

When a pool member sends a request to ModelMonkey, credits are deducted from the admin's shared balance—not from the member's personal account.

Credit deduction works the same way as regular credits:

• 1 credit is deducted when the request cost reaches 2 cents
• 1 more credit is deducted when the cost reaches 10 cents
• Tool usage (like web search) costs 1 extra credit

The admin's credit balance is shared across all pool members. There's no per-member credit limit—any member can use available credits until the pool runs out.

Admins can see how many credits each pool member has used. This helps you understand usage patterns and identify if any member is consuming more credits than expected.

Credit tracking is available in the ModelMonkey sidebar under Account > Credit Pool. You'll see:

• Total credits used by the pool
• Per-member usage breakdown
• Your remaining credit balance
