We’ve introduced a more standardized Credit System for the Share of Model platform. This approach replaces the previous ‘Quota’ model and gives you clear visibility into what each analysis includes, making it simpler to plan, manage, and optimize your usage.
Understanding Credits for Brand Analysis
1. What Defines an Analysis?
Each Brand Analysis includes:
1 Brand
1 Category
3 Competitors (exactly)
6 Attributes (exactly)
X Regions (optional)
Y Personas (optional)
These elements define the scope of the analysis — what you’re studying — but not all of them affect credit usage.
2. What is a Credit and how it scales?
Each analysis generates a set of prompts to surface insights. The credit usage depends on two key variables:
✅ Regions — The number of regions you analyze
✅ Personas — The number of personas you target
👉 Credits = Number of Regions × Number of Personas
Examples:
1 Region × 1 Persona = 1 Credit (baseline)
3 Regions × 2 Personas = 6 Credits
5 Regions × 4 Personas = 20 Credits
With this approach, you have a clear and predictable way to estimate credit usage for every analysis, making it simple to scale or adjust based on your priorities.
Archiving and Credit Recovery
Archived analyses do not consume Credits.
If reactivated, the analysis will consume Credits based on its original configuration.
You can also archive older analyses to free up Credits for new analyses.
Understanding Credits for Assets
Credits also apply to the evaluation of assets (such as text, images, or video) that you run within the platform. The number of Credits consumed depends on the asset type:
Text and Images = 1 Credit per asset
Video = 3 Credits per asset
For example, the more videos you evaluate within a given month, the more Credits will be consumed accordingly.
Note: The Credits for Assets are refreshed each month, returning to the original amount defined in your package.
