Credits power every AI interaction in Planner.coach. Cost varies by complexity -- a quick question is cheap, a full session plan with diagrams costs more. Here's what each tier's allocation lets you do.
What things cost
| Action | Approximate cost |
|---|---|
| Ask a coaching question | 20-50 credits |
| Generate a drill (no diagram) | 50-150 credits |
| Generate a drill with canvas diagram | 100-300 credits |
| Generate a complete 60-minute session | 200-400 credits |
| Modify an existing drill | 30-80 credits |
Longer conversations cost more per message because the assistant processes the full thread history each time.
What 2,000 credits gets you (Free)
- 10-20 drill generations with diagrams, or
- 50-100 quick coaching questions, or
- A mix: 5-6 drills with diagrams plus 30-40 questions
Enough to plan a couple of practices per month with AI help.
What 10,000 credits gets you (Pro)
- 50-100 drill generations with diagrams, or
- 200-500 coaching questions, or
- A weekly workflow: 2-3 drills, one full session plan, and a handful of questions -- every week all month
Two practices per week? You have more than enough credits for every single one.
What 20,000 credits gets you (Club)
- 100-200 drill generations with diagrams, or
- Enough for 3-4 coaches each generating drills and plans throughout the week
In team mode, all AI interactions draw from the team owner's pool, so Club credits cover multiple coaches working simultaneously.
A week in practice
Say you coach three sessions per week:
- Monday: Generate a 60-minute session plan (300 credits), tweak two drills (120 credits)
- Wednesday: Generate 2 new drills with diagrams (400 credits), ask about progression (40 credits)
- Friday: Reuse Monday's session with modifications (80 credits)
Weekly total: ~940 credits. On Pro, that's four full weeks with credits to spare.
Tips to stretch your credits
Be specific upfront. "Create a 15-minute 3v2 transition drill for U16 basketball, half court, fast break finishing" gets a usable result in one shot. Vague prompts lead to follow-ups that cost extra.
Start fresh conversations. A 20-message thread costs significantly more per message than a new conversation. Switch topics? New thread.
Modify instead of regenerating. "Add a defender to this drill" costs far less than generating a new drill from scratch.
Save credits for what AI does best. If you just need court dimensions, search the web. Use credits for drill generation, session planning, and diagrams.
Pro: Following the tips above, 10,000 Pro credits typically cover a full season of drill and session generation without running out. Compare plans
