What are AI tokens in Whale?
AI tokens are the shared credit pool that powers AI-assisted features across Whale. Using an AI feature draws from this pool.
Each plan includes a monthly token allowance calculated per creator, but those tokens aren't assigned to any one person individually — they're pooled into a single shared balance for the whole workspace, and any creator can draw from it. Additional tokens can be accessed by upgrading your plan, adding creators, or adding the AI Pass add-on.
Why AI tokens?
AI tokens let Whale offer smart AI features to every user while giving teams control over how much AI assistance they use each month. Think of them like credits: use them when you need help drafting, structuring, or improving content.
AI token allowances by plan — valid from May 26, 2026
Token allowances scale with how many creator seats are on your plan, but they're pooled into one shared workspace balance — not split up and assigned separately to each creator. Here's the rate used to calculate your workspace's monthly pool (rate × number of creators):
Plan | AI credits included |
Free | 20 credits one time (does not reset) |
Scale | 50 credits / creator / month |
Advance | 100 credits / creator / month |
Enterprise | 250 credits / creator / month |
💡 AI tokens reset monthly on your billing date. For example, a Scale plan with 3 creators gets a shared pool of 150 tokens/month (50 × 3) that any creator on the workspace can use — it's not 50 tokens locked to each individual creator. The Free plan receives a fixed 20 tokens for the workspace, regardless of creator count.
What happens when I run out?
You'll be notified if your team runs low on tokens.
Once tokens are used up, you can either:
Wait until the next monthly reset, or
Upgrade your plan or add the AI Pass add-on for a higher allowance.
