To **track AI usage and credits**, you need two separate numbers: the credits consumed by AI operations, and the pages processed by document reading. Keeping them apart is what makes consumption predictable.

## Why one combined number does not work

When document reading is billed from the same pool as everything else, nobody can estimate what a given upload will cost.

- A dense page consuming more than a sparse one, unpredictably
- No way to forecast the cost of a document-heavy process
- Teams avoiding a useful feature because the cost is opaque
- Usage spikes discovered only after they happen

## Metrics worth watching

- **AI credits** — consumption from agents and AI operations
- **Pages processed** — document reading, counted one per page or image
- **Number of messages** — activity across the platform
- **Tables, apps, and roles** — how the account structure is growing
- **Public pages and automations** — what is running across the account

## How to check it in Jestor

1. Open the usage page inside **Jestor**.
2. Review AI credit consumption against your plan's allowance.
3. Check pages processed separately, where document reading is metered.
4. Review structural metrics — tables, apps, roles, public pages, automations.
5. Compare across periods to see how account usage is growing.

## Why choose Jestor for predictable AI costs?

**Jestor** separated document reading out of the **AI** credit pool specifically because teams could not estimate cost per read. Now a three-page PDF counts as three pages and an image counts as one — arithmetic anyone can do before uploading.

Credit limits have been raised to 150,000 so teams can test agents, put them into real flows, and refine them over time before committing.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Are OCR reads charged as AI credits?

No, they are metered separately as pages processed.

### Where do I find usage metrics?

On the usage page inside the platform. See [jestor.com](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

### Do the numbers differ per plan?

Yes, the values differ by plan, but the metrics shown are the same.
