What Communication uses credits for
Connection requests are free. Each sequence message Allen writes uses 5 credits, each reply the setter writes uses credits at the rate shown in the app, and comments cost what they always did.

Communication comes with the same 2,500 credits a month as Comments, and uses them for a few more things.
What is free
- Connection requests, however many Allen sends.
- Reading profiles, deciding who is a fit, and withdrawing old requests.
- Try it out under Train Allen.
What uses credits
- Each sequence message Allen writes (the first message and the two follow-ups): 5 credits each.
- Each reply the appointment setter writes, and each suggested answer it drafts for you when Auto reply is off: credits at the rate shown next to the switch in the app.
- Autopilot comments and everything else, the same as on Comments.
Credits are used when Allen writes a message, not when it sends it, so dry run and Review first use them too, and a message you skip was still written.
How far they go
A busy week of outreach writes perhaps thirty sequence messages and a dozen setter replies, which is a small part of the monthly pool next to daily commenting. Most people never notice it. If you do run low, the badge at the top right of the dashboard shows what is left, and extra packs never expire.
When you run out
Allen stops writing new messages and replies until your pool refills or you add a pack. Connection requests already approved still go, since they are free. If someone replies while you are out of credits, Allen emails you so you can answer them yourself.

Allen is built by a small team and we read every message. Business-day replies usually come within a few hours.
