# Introduction

The Token and Credit System is the foundation for how users access features and manage their usage in the Discourse Analyzer AI Toolkit. Tokens measure the amount of text processed, while credits act as the platform’s currency for running analyses and using advanced features. This system controls access, tracks usage, and determines billing across both the Simple and Advanced versions.

In this section, you’ll learn how tokens and credits work, how they are allocated, what happens when you run out, and how subscription plans affect your available resources.
