Credits and billing
Your plan includes a monthly allowance of AI credits. Regular unused credits do not roll over to the next billing period. Free accounts refresh on their existing 30-day credit cycle; paid accounts renew on the date shown by Stripe.
When you upgrade, your new plan starts after your payment is confirmed. You receive the new plan’s full monthly credit allowance, replacing your old regular balance, and a new billing cycle begins. Review the actual Stripe charge, including applicable credits, prorations, discounts and tax, before confirming. It is not always the difference between monthly prices.
When you downgrade, your current paid plan remains active until the end of your billing period. Your new plan and its monthly credit allowance begin when that period ends.
Bonus credits awarded by ESL Tools are separate from your monthly credits. Unused bonus credits carry over between billing periods and remain available after plan changes or cancellation, unless an expiration date was explicitly specified. Current admin grants are non-expiring.
Regular monthly credits are used first. Bonus credits are used when your regular credits run out. Bonus credits do not unlock features that require a paid plan.
You can cancel your subscription without immediately losing your remaining paid period. At the end of that period, your account changes to Free with 5 regular credits, and unused bonus credits remain available. Premium-only access ends; saved resources follow the existing retention policy. Retained Review Handouts receive their established 30-day grace period, and game play limits and access dates remain separate.
