How Intel Credits work for call analysis in Intel.

How Intel Credits Work
Every AI analysis in Intel (the analysis surface at /dashboard/analyze) uses 1 Intel Credit, no matter which submission method you use — paste a transcript, upload audio, paste a share link, or import JSON.
Where Intel Credits Come From
Your available Intel Credits can be drawn from a few sources, in this order:
- Plan credits — the monthly allowance included with your subscription.
- Bonus credits — extra credits added on top of your plan allowance.
- Shared team pool — if your organization uses a pooled allocation, analyses can draw from a balance shared across the team (managed by your admin).
- Courtesy (grace) analyses — once your plan, bonus, and pool credits are exhausted, CloseIntel allows a small number of courtesy analyses (currently 2) so an urgent call isn't blocked. You'll see a confirmation prompt noting how many remain before you continue.
When an Intel Credit Is Used
- A credit is consumed when the analysis actually runs, not the moment you click Run Analysis.
- The credit count shown on the Intel page updates as you submit and re-syncs with the server when an analysis finishes or errors, so the on-screen number stays accurate.
Checking Your Balance
Your remaining Intel Credits are shown on the /dashboard/analyze page near the submission form. For plan details and usage, open Settings → Billing.
Team Credit Pools
If your organization uses a shared pool:
- Team members draw analyses from the same balance.
- Your admin allocates and monitors the pool.
- The pool replenishes based on your plan's billing cycle.
Troubleshooting
- Out of Intel Credits: When your plan, bonus, pool, and courtesy analyses are all used up, a prompt appears to purchase more (or, on some plans, to contact your admin). Ask your admin about the shared pool, or review your plan in Settings → Billing.
- Credit count looks off: The number re-syncs with the server after each analysis completes or errors. Refresh the page if it still looks wrong after a minute.
