Julius Credit Burn Rate

Julius meters work in credits, not seats: Plus gives 2,000 credits monthly at $20 ($16 annual), Pro 5,000 at $45 ($37 annual), and the Free tier caps you at 3 scheduled runs with 7-day file storage. The framework asks one question before signing a reporting retainer: how many credits does a single client deliverable consume? A monthly deck plus a warehouse query against Snowflake or BigQuery plus a regenerated chart after client feedback can each draw down credits, and a 5,000-credit Pro plan shared across four clients leaves roughly 1,250 credits per client per month. Agencies that map credit spend to each retainer line item can price the offer before delivery starts; those that pool credits across the whole book discover margin erosion only after the invoice. Track credits per deliverable for one billing cycle, then set your retainer floor from that number.
