The Credits tab
Last verified
The Credits tab shows what's left in your wallet, in euros, and every movement in and out of it. Credit is only spent by Mec, the AI route partner; the rest of the planner is free. Every account starts with €2 of welcome credit, and you top up by buying a Starter or Pro pack right here.
Your balance
Credit is shown in euros, at face value. The card warns you when the balance is running low. Only the AI route partner spends it — building routes on the map, splitting them into days, searching for stops and exporting GPX cost nothing.
Top up
Two packs — Starter at €9 and Pro at €19 — each add that much credit. Pick one to pay through Online payment service (no card information stored), and the credit lands in your wallet as soon as the payment goes through.
When there's enough recent usage to go on, the tab also shows what a typical AI planning turn costs — a range and a median, worked out from real turns over the last 30 days — and roughly how many typical turns each pack covers. The estimate is rounded down, and it's hidden when there isn't enough usage to give an honest figure.
Recent activity
Every movement in or out of your wallet is listed with when it happened, why, and how much. The reasons you'll see:
| Reason | What it was |
|---|---|
| Welcome credit | The €2 added when you first signed in. |
| Credit pack purchase | Credit you bought. |
| Chat usage | A reply from the AI route partner. |
| Web search | A web search the assistant ran while answering. |
| Refund | Credit given back. |
| Adjustment | A correction made by Bikepackia. |
Entries are also tagged by where they came from — Web, Mobile or API — so a shared account can tell which device spent what.
Frequently asked questions
Why did my balance go down?
Something asked the AI to do work: a reply from the route partner, or a web search it ran. Recent activity lists each one with its cost. Map planning, stages and GPX export never spend credit.
Can I buy more credit?
Yes. Pick the Starter (€9) or Pro (€19) pack on the Credits tab and pay through Stripe checkout; the credit is added to your wallet straight away.
What happens when my credit runs out?
The AI route partner is what needs credit. You can carry on planning routes by hand, splitting them into days, adding stops and exporting GPX without it.
