AI Assist Plans and Subscriptions
The AI Assist add-on brings AI-powered responses and automation to your tawk.to dashboard. AI Assist offers a free plan and paid subscriptions to support different business needs.
This guide explains the available plans, how message credits work, and how to manage your subscription as your needs grow.

Message credits and overages
You can check your remaining credits, view your usage, and purchase additional credits from the AI Assist add-on page in your dashboard.
How model choice affects credits
- Auto: Uses 3 credits per AI agent reply.
- Other models: Each model has its own credit cost per reply. Models with higher credit costs use up your plan's allowance faster, while models with lower costs help your credits last longer.
- AI Commands: Uses the AI agent's selected model and its corresponding credit cost.
- AI Transcription: Costs 1 credit per started minute of speech, up to 5 credits per voice message.
Choose a model that balances your response requirements with your available credit allowance.
Upgrading or downgrading your AI Assist plan
You can change your AI Assist subscription as your support needs change. Choose monthly or annual billing, depending on your preference. Annual billing includes two free months.
If you change plans during a billing cycle, the new plan takes effect at the start of your next billing period, subject to the applicable upgrade or downgrade terms.

Additional considerations
- Message completions share your allowance
Usage is shared across all AI agents under the same subscription.
- Model choice affects usage
Review the credit cost shown for each model before selecting one. Higher-cost models consume your available credits faster.
- Data characters include all sources
Crawled and imported content counts toward your plan's data character limit.
- Crawling frequency varies
Automatic re-crawling frequency depends on your subscription.
- Plan for overages
Purchased credits can help cover temporary increases in usage. If your usage consistently exceeds your allowance, consider whether upgrading your plan would better suit your needs.
