What Costs Credits?
| Type | Credit Cost |
|---|---|
| Workflow run (manual, scheduled, or API) | 1 credit |
| AI Nodes (depends on model) | Varies (~1–20) |
| External connections (e.g., Google Ads, GA4, Sheets, Slides, Email) | Start from 1 credit each |
| Utility nodes (lists, date selectors, loops, account pickers) | Free |
| Markifact AI Agent Copilot messages | 1 credit per message |
- Every workflow run consumes 1 credit, no matter how it’s triggered.
- Markifact AI Agent Copilot messages cost 1 credit per message when asking the AI to create, edit, or modify workflows.
- External/data nodes like Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google Sheets, or Slides start at 1 credit per successful execution.
- AI node costs vary by model (see table below).
- Utility nodes—such as lists tools, date pickers, loops, and account selection—are free and never consume credits.
- Only successful nodes are charged. If a node fails, no credit is consumed for that node. Other successful nodes in the same workflow will be charged.
- Some nodes, like AI, vary based on the model you select.
- Data nodes, like Google Ads or Meta, may depend on the number of accounts or the size of the request.

How to Reduce Credit Usage
When testing workflows, avoid running the entire flow. Instead:- Click the dropdown on a specific node.
- Select Run Node to execute just that part.
⚠️ Note: If the node has downstream connections (other nodes that depend on it), those will also run and may consume credits.
Tracking Credit Usage
You can monitor credit usage in real time:- During a workflow run, each node displays its credit consumption.
- After the run finishes, the total credits used are shown in the footer.
- Failed nodes don’t cost credits.
- You can view historical usage from the Execution History tab.
- Your remaining plan credits are visible in the sidebar at all times.
