Dude Coins are credited to your account automatically at the start of each billing cycle. The amount you receive depends on your billing plan.
How credits work by plan
Monthly billing gives you 1,000 Dude Coins at the start of each monthly cycle, with no additional bonus.
Annual billing gives you the same 1,000 Dude Coins per cycle, plus an immediate bonus allocation on top — equivalent to receiving 14 months of Dude Coins for the price of 12. If you upgrade to a higher annual tier, the bonus increases further.
Unused Dude Coins carry over to the next cycle automatically as long as your subscription stays active. They do not reset at the end of each cycle.
Bonus Dude Coins
In addition to your base allocation, you may receive bonus Dude Coins from two sources:
Annual billing bonus — credited immediately when you start or renew an annual plan.
Loyalty Program — additional bonus Dude Coins credited each cycle based on how long you've been continuously subscribed on an annual plan. Loyalty bonus Dude Coins expire after 90 days if unused.
Who Dude Coins are billed to
Dude Coins are always deducted from the balance of the project owner, regardless of which team member triggered the AI operation.
Plans
Dude Coins require a Director's Cut plan. The Free plan does not include a Dude Coin balance.
