Why are there now Credits?
You may have noticed a credits system has been introduced to Kiroku - Here's why.
Published June 2nd 2026
Why have you introduced credits?
Credits let us keep adding AI features to Kiroku without raising the price for everyone.
Over the past year and a half, we've added Freestyle, Co-Pilot, the AI Editor and Docs to the Essential plan without changing its price. The same subscription that once covered clickable notes now includes all of these AI tools.
These features cost more to run as usage grows. Rather than raise prices across the board, we've introduced credits.
Most users stay comfortably within their allowance, and those who use Kiroku's AI tools most heavily can choose to pay a little extra.
Credits also open up features that used to be Pro-only. Essential users can now try Docs, for example, which were previously only available on Pro.
What does this mean for me? Will I have to pay more?
If you’re on Essential, you’ll get a generous monthly allowance with the option to top up if you need more.
If you’re on Pro, everything is unlimited.
If you're on a Practice plan, everything is unlimited.
If you're on a free trial, everything is unlimited.
For most users, nothing really changes day to day. Credits sit quietly in the background; you'll only notice them if you're a heavy user.
Where can I find more information on the credits system and how it works?
