What AI credits cost
You can log a whole day without spending a single credit. They only come out when the AI does the work for you, like reading a photo of your plate. Everything it costs is laid out below.

What each AI feature costs
Meal photo scan
One photo of your plate. However much sits on it, it's the same two credits.
2credits
Receipt scan
Photograph a grocery receipt and it turns into nutrition numbers, split between everyone who ate.
2credits
AI coach message
One credit per message to Stella or Fredrik. Short question, long one, same price.
1credit
Fridge photo scan
Open the fridge, take a picture, get meals you can cook from what's already in there.
1credit
Barcode scan
Free when the product sits in Open Food Facts or the USDA database, two open libraries that cover millions of packaged foods between them, or when someone has already scanned it in Navilo. You pay the single credit only when the AI has to work out what the product is.
0 or 1credits
Full recipe with photo
Charged once, the first time we write a recipe. Anything already in the library opens free.
1credit
Run or walk coach insight
An optional word from the coach after a GPS session. The tracking itself is always free.
1credit
Weekly coach check-inPremium
Your week summed up on Sunday. If you're out of credits we skip it, we don't nag.
1credit
Overnight sleep recordingPremium
One charge per night you record.
2credits
What 8 credits get you
Everyone starts with 8. Spend them however you like. For example:
4
meal photo scans
Lunch and dinner for two days.
8
coach messages
A real back-and-forth with Stella or Fredrik.
2 + 4
scans and coach messages
Two meal photos, then four questions about them.

- 30 credits for each friend who joins once they start logging, up to 10 friends.
- A mystery box every day. Most days it's empty. Some days it isn't.
- Hidden credits. We've tucked a few into places we won't name here. The more you use Navilo, the better your odds.

- Unused credits roll over for as long as you stay Premium, up to 350 in total.
- Cancel and the saved ones go. So spend them first.
- Premium is optional. Everything on the free list stays free either way.
Questions people actually ask
What happens when I run out of credits?
Nothing locks except the AI. You can still log meals by search, text or voice, record workouts, runs, water and sleep, and look back through all of it. To get the AI working again, earn credits or go Premium.
Do I lose credits if a scan fails?
No. If a scan or a coach reply fails on our side, the credits land back in your balance straight away.
Does editing a scanned meal cost anything?
No. Change the portions, swap a food, delete the whole meal. Only the scan itself uses credits.
Where do I see how many credits I have?
Your balance sits at the top of the home screen, and on your Profile in the section that shows what uses credits.
