# Where your credits go

Published rate basis checked September 13, 2026. At the standard purchase rate, 100 credits represent $1 of credit value. Credit consumption and the amount of a subscription payment are different.

| Measured quantity | Credits |
| --- | ---: |
| Build minute | 1.642857 |
| One million Worker requests | 98.571429 |
| One million Worker CPU milliseconds | 6.571429 |
| Standard database CU-hour | 72.942857 |
| Performance database CU-hour | 91.178571 |
| Database GB-month | 115 |
| File-storage GB for 30 days | 4.928571 |
| 1,000 mail recipients, published Essentials example | 52.571429 |

Actual charges use the active rate card, measured quantities and microcredit rounding. Your agent can read those cards and usage through the [usage API](/docs/usage). Storage, history and other operations may add consumption; different mail configurations can have different rates.

## An example workload

Twenty build minutes (32.857143 credits), 100,000 worker requests (9.857143), one million CPU milliseconds (6.571429), four standard database CU-hours (291.771429), one database GB-month (115), and 2,000 Essentials mail recipients (105.142857) total **561.2 credits**: $5.612 in credit value.

Five identical workloads total **2,806 credits**. At the standard pack rate, 3,000 credits would cover these selected quantities. This is arithmetic, not a benchmark, a guaranteed bill or a complete estimate for an unspecified app.

## A separate subscription scenario

One developer on Vercel Pro ($20), one Supabase Micro project on Pro ($25 total) and Resend Pro ($20) totals $65/month before extras and taxes. With five Supabase Micro projects, that scenario totals about $105/month. Vercel and Resend base plans are not charged again for each project. Free allowances can reduce the alternative cost, and the services do not offer identical capacity or features.
