Plans, credits & billing

How credits work

You pay for the AI work Waxe actually does, not tokens or documents. A credit is a unit of that work — generating, redrafting and editing all draw from your credit balance, and a task that fails is never charged.

Pay for the work Waxe does

waxTable bills for what Waxe actually does on your behalf. Your plan includes a pool of credits, and each task deducts credits for the AI work it uses — the more work a generation or edit takes, the more credits it draws.

We meter the real work rather than charging a flat fee per document. That keeps the cost of a task tied to its size: a quick edit barely moves your balance, while a full multi-section generation with detailed pricing draws more.

A typical document costs around 40 credits — a few minutes of work that would take a person one to two days by hand.

What a credit covers

Credits cover the AI work Waxe performs for you. The headline tasks are generation and revision, but the same balance covers the smaller AI actions throughout a document's life.

  • Generating a new document — planning structure, pricing the work, drafting copy and composing the on-brand design.
  • Redrafting a section or starting a fresh take when the first one isn't right.
  • Surgical edits where Waxe proposes a change you preview, then accept or reject.
  • AI actions you trigger from the slash palette inside the editor.

What doesn't cost extra

Plenty of everyday actions are part of your plan and never draw from your credit balance.

  • Per-document fees — generating deducts credits for the AI work, not a flat document charge.
  • A task that fails — if a generation errors out or doesn't complete, you're not charged for it.
  • Reviewing, approving and sending a finished document.
  • Exporting or downloading a PDF of work you've already generated.

Free plan, signup bonus and referral credits

Your first workspace starts on Free with 100 credits: a one-time 40-credit signup bonus and 60 monthly credits. Free has no end date. Additional workspaces receive 60 monthly credits without another signup bonus.

  • The 40-credit signup bonus never expires. Free also includes 60 credits each month, which expire at the monthly reset and do not roll over.
  • Referral credits are added when a business you refer signs up.
  • Signup bonus and referral credits never expire. Monthly credits are spent first, so your permanent credits remain available until needed.

Your remaining credits are visible in your workspace so there are no surprises mid-cycle.

    Move to a larger plan for more monthly credits — see Getting more credits.

Frequently asked questions

Does a longer document cost more than a short one?

It costs more credits only if Waxe does more work — a complex generation uses more than a simple one. There's no length-based fee; you're paying for the AI work, not page count. A typical document is around 40 credits.

Do my own edits use credits?

No. Typing, formatting and rearranging the document yourself is free. Credits only cover AI work Waxe performs, such as generating or surgical edits.

What happens if a generation fails?

A task that fails to complete is never charged. If credits were deducted for work that clearly failed, note the project and time and email support.

What happens if I reject Waxe's proposed edit?

Drafting the proposal used the AI work to produce it, but nothing changes in your document until you accept. Reviewing and rejecting itself is free.

Do Free plan credits expire?

Your 40-credit signup bonus and referral credits never expire. Free’s 60 monthly credits expire and renew on your workspace’s monthly signup anniversary. Unused monthly credits do not roll over; the Free plan itself has no end date.
