Slate Credit Cost Calculator

Every time a workflow runs in Slate, it consumes credits. Each block in a workflow — like an LLM call, a Google Search, or a web scrape — has a specific credit cost. Your plan includes a monthly credit allocation: Solo includes 5,000, Pro includes 15,000, and Enterprise is customizable. Credits reset each billing cycle.

Nothing stops. You can instantly top up credits without upgrading your plan. Additional credits can be purchased in blocks of 5,000 at any time, so your workflows keep running without interruption.

There are several ways to optimize your credit usage. You can select lighter LLM models like GPT-4o Mini or Haiku instead of heavier models like GPT-4o or Opus for simpler tasks — this significantly reduces per-block cost. You can also streamline your workflows by removing redundant steps, reusing outputs across blocks, and batching similar tasks together. Over time, monitoring your usage in Slate's dashboard helps you identify which workflows to optimize first.

When you run workflows via Sheets, credits are multiplied by the number of rows processed. For example, running a Content Refresh workflow (700 credits) across 50 URLs would consume 35,000 credits. Plan your allocation accordingly for bulk operations.

These are benchmark estimates based on typical workflow configurations. Actual consumption may vary depending on the specific blocks you use, the LLM model selected, content length, and number of steps in your custom workflow.

SEO Article Writing typically consumes the most per run (~1,200 credits) since it chains multiple LLM calls with research blocks. Content Refresh is more efficient at ~700 credits per run, making it ideal for high-volume page updates.
