SketchUp AI credits

What are SketchUp AI credits?

AI credits are a unit of measurement for the use of AI features. Think of them like a digital currency that is "spent" each time you complete an action using a specific AI tool. Different actions "cost" a different number of credits based on the computational power required.

How do AI credits work?

Credits are "spent" or consumed each time you generate a result with an AI tool. Each tool "costs" a different number of credits based on the computational power required. In SketchUp, there are two credit balances you might see: Included credits that come with your base SketchUp subscription and SketchUp AI credits, if you’ve purchased the AI subscription.

Are AI credits included in my SketchUp subscription?

Yes. Go, Pro, and Studio subscriptions include AI credits to use each month. This included credit balance resets every month. Credits per subscription:

Go = 100 credits

Pro, Pro Scan and Pro Advanced Workflows = 150 credits

Studio = 200 credits

Studio for Higher Education = 200 credits

SketchUp AI = 1500 credits

How many credits does each AI feature cost?

Help: Free, no credits consumed

AI Render: 10 credits for each generation (1 image generated)

Generate Object: 30 credits for each generation (1 object generated)

Are there different types of AI credits?

No. All credits are the same in terms of value and what they can be used for, but AI tools consume different amounts of credits based on the computing power required to generate a result.

Can I purchase more SketchUp AI credits?

For a higher monthly credit balance, you can purchase the SketchUp AI subscription, which gives you 1500 AI credits per month in addition to the credits included with your SketchUp subscription. The AI subscription can only be purchased by account owners. Follow prompts in-app to purchase SketchUp AI. If you’re part of an organization and not the account owner, you’ll see prompts to send a request for SketchUp AI to your account owner.

Where can I see my remaining credit balance?

Each SketchUp modeler (Desktop, iPad, Web) has a new credit counter built into the user interface. This new AI hub is where users can launch AI tools or check their credit balance. It shows remaining credits and the number of days until the credit balance resets.

When do credits renew?

Included credits renew monthly on the date of your base subscription purchase.

SketchUp AI credits renew monthly on the date of your SketchUp AI purchase.

Do credits expire?

SketchUp AI is a monthly subscription, which means the credit balance automatically resets each month. Credits don’t have an expiration date, but they also don’t roll over month to month.
