AI modes and credit usage
Different AI modes fit different task intensity levels and consume credits at different rates.

When to use Standard or Turbo
Standard mode consumes credits at 1x and fits routine academic tasks. Turbo mode consumes credits at 2x and fits complex reasoning, long-form drafting, and deeper revision.
Questions before subscribing
Review plan intensity, credit usage, and membership timing before choosing a plan.
Should I subscribe before buying extra credits?
Yes. PaperPath AI features require an active membership. Credits are consumed while the membership is active.
What is the difference between member credits and extra credits?
Member credits are included with the membership period. Extra credits come from add-on packs and can remain across membership cycles, but they still require an active membership to use.
Which plan fits an active thesis or dissertation stage?
If you are organizing literature, drafting sections, and revising multiple times, the middle plan is usually the most balanced starting point.
How should I choose Standard or Turbo mode?
Standard mode fits routine outlines, summaries, polishing, and short section work. Turbo mode fits complex reasoning, long-form drafting, and heavier revision.
