Illustration

In the world of AI-powered applications, understanding the credit cost associated with each model is crucial for effective budgeting and optimized usage. Each model's pricing reflects the computational intensity required to process requests and generate responses. In this documentation, we will delve into the intricacies of model credit costs, the implications of using various features, and strategies to manage your credits effectively.

Credit Costs Overview

The cost structure for using different models in Evelant varies based on the complexity and capabilities of each model. Below is a table that outlines the cost per message for each model:

Understanding Model Pricing

The models are priced based on their performance capabilities and the computational resources they require. For instance, ChatGPT 5.5 is categorized as a high-end model due to its advanced reasoning abilities and the extensive training it has undergone, justifying its higher credit cost. On the other hand, models like Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite are designed for quicker, less resource-intensive tasks, resulting in a lower credit cost.

Important Notes on Pricing

  • Model Variability: The cost associated with each model can change based on updates or enhancements made to the underlying architecture. It is important to stay informed about any shifts in pricing, especially if you rely heavily on specific models for your tasks.
  • Free vs. Pro Accounts: Users with free accounts will find that their access to models is limited, and they may not be able to utilize models with higher credit costs. Understanding your account type is essential for optimizing your usage.

Full-Page Deep Scan Surcharge

Activating the Deep Scan feature significantly alters the cost structure, as it necessitates processing a larger volume of text per request. The surcharge is calculated based on the model's base cost, effectively doubling it and adding one credit.

Here’s a breakdown of the normal cost versus the cost with the Deep Scan feature:

Utilizing Deep Scan Effectively

Deep Scan allows users to extract information from lengthy texts, providing a comprehensive analysis that is invaluable for research and data extraction tasks. However, due to its cost implications, it is advisable to use this feature judiciously.

Best Practices for Deep Scan Usage

  1. Prioritize Deep Scan Requests: Use Deep Scan for tasks that genuinely require extensive analysis rather than for routine queries.
  2. Combine with Low-Cost Models: For everyday inquiries, consider using models with a lower credit cost to preserve your credits for more demanding tasks that warrant the Deep Scan surcharge.
  3. Monitor Your Usage: Regularly check your credit balance and usage to avoid unexpected limitations on your account.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

While using Evelant, you may encounter some issues related to credit costs and model usage. Here are some common problems and their solutions:

  • Unexpected Credit Deductions: If you notice that your credits are depleting faster than expected, review your usage history. Ensure that you are not unintentionally using models with higher credit costs or the Deep Scan feature when it’s not necessary.
  • Access Denied Errors: If you attempt to access a model or feature that your account does not support, consider upgrading to a Pro account if your usage requires it. Free accounts have limitations that may not meet your needs.
  • Model Performance Issues: Should you experience slow response times or errors, this may be due to server issues or high demand. Check the status page of Evelant for any ongoing issues.
