What do Switchover credits pay for?

Credits are used when you send AI chat messages. Short standard messages usually use 1 credit, while longer context can reserve more.

What is only available in Pro?

Pro includes more credits for daily usage and the Pro-only Context Brief feature, which copies a clean handoff summary from a conversation.

Do I need separate API keys for GPT, Claude, and Gemini?

No. Switchover provides a single chat workspace and credit system, so users do not need to manage separate provider API keys.

How credits are counted

A short, normal message usually costs 1 credit. Longer context or more expensive model calls may reserve more before sending.

Estimate firstSwitchover estimates input tokens and likely output before the request goes out.

Reserve creditsThe app reserves enough credits so long replies cannot push the balance below zero.

Refund overageIf actual provider usage is lower than the estimate, extra reserved credits are returned.

Credits are charged when a message is sent successfully. Failed provider calls do not burn credits, and switching models does not add a separate fee.
