To use Pro or Max with a team, select **Get For Team** in subscription settings and choose the tier and number of seats. Credits are pooled across the organization at the per-seat rate (e.g. Max for Teams with 3 seats = 75,000 credits/mo pooled).

### Daily Refresh Credits

Paid plans include a small daily credit allowance that does not count toward your plan limit. Each day, usage up to the daily refresh amount is excluded from billable usage. This allowance resets every 24 hours and does not carry over — use it or lose it.
