AI to boost your productivity

On November 9, 2026, we are retiring the fixed $11.99/month SketchUp AI add-on subscription and replacing it with Trimble Credits. All core AI tools stay exactly as they are—only the method for purchasing extra AI capacity is changing.

You do not need to take any manual action. On January 4, 2027, auto-renewal will be turned off automatically for active SketchUp AI subscriptions. Your subscription will remain fully active through the end of your current paid billing cycle. You can also manage settings anytime in the Trimble Admin Console.

No. Trimble Credits are purchased on demand via the eCommerce store rather than through  a recurring annual subscription. However, every credits purchase comes with a full 365-day validity period from the date of purchase.

Trimble Credits are non-refundable once bought. Because purchased credits remain valid for a full 365 days and work across participating Trimble software. You have a full year to consume them.

Primary and Secondary Account Owners can purchase Trimble Credits directly in Trimble e-commerce and can allow team members to spend these Credits within the Trimble Admin Console.

Due to App Store policies, credit packs cannot be purchased directly inside the iPad app. iPad users can purchase credits on the web via Trimble e-commerce or have their Account Owner assign credits via the Trimble Admin Console.

Trimble Credits function as a flexible, prepaid use-as-you-go balance allocated toward your SketchUp AI usage. Every action, from producing realistic renderings with AI Render to designing complex 3D assets using Generate Object, consumes a specified credit amount. This structure ensures you pay strictly for the specific AI functionality you utilize in SketchUp.

Yes. There are two distinct credit types:

• Plan Allocated Credits: Included with your base SketchUp subscription, reset monthly, do not roll over, and are specific to SketchUp AI.

• Purchased Trimble Credits: Bought separately ($0.01/credit), valid for 365 days, and consumable across all participating Trimble software.

You can check your remaining balance in real time using the in-app Credit Counter inside SketchUp (Desktop, iPad, and Web) or by logging into the Trimble Admin Console. Expanding the Credit Breakdown displays your Plan Credits and Purchased Credits in one view.

SketchUp automatically prioritizes expiring balances so you get maximum value:

1. Plan Credits: Your monthly included base subscription credits are spent first.

2. Legacy Subscription Credits: Remaining balances from active $11.99 add-on subscriptions are spent next during the transition period.

3. Purchased Trimble Credits: Your 365-day purchased credits are used only after all monthly allowances are completely exhausted.

Account admins can manage credits in the Trimble Admin Console. When Trimble Credits are purchased, credits enter your organization's central pool, where administrators can assign credits to specific users or maintain a shared pool.

Yes. Purchased Trimble Credits serve as a single, unified credit balance across the entire Trimble ecosystem. Your credits can be consumed seamlessly across participating Trimble products.

Standalone credits are one-time purchases and don't renew.

Purchased Trimble Credits expire 365 days (12 months) after purchase and do not roll over.
