The short answer
The planner is free. The AI has a meter.
Everything that makes the shelf a shelf costs nothing and is not
counted. You can save links, group them into a haul, size an item from
a chart you read yourself, attach QC photos, and open Buy in your
agent, for as long as you want, without an account.
What is counted is the work that calls a model on a server. Reading a
seller size chart from a screenshot, answering a question about your
own shelf, and pulling the title and photo off a link all cost money
per call. Those have daily numbers.
The numbers
What free includes, per day
- 20 link resolves. Each paste that fetches a title, a price and a photo.
- 2 chart reads. Each size chart screenshot turned into numbers.
- 5 questions about your own shelf.
- 4 QC photos on each item.
- 2 hauls at a time.
The daily counters reset at midnight UTC. They are per day, not per
month, so a slow week never uses up a fast one.
Not counted
The parts with no meter on them
- Saving a link, and how many links you save.
- Typing a size, a price or a note by hand.
- The parcel weight estimate.
- Pasting a Reddit comment and turning it into a list.
- Opening Buy in your agent.
- Taking the whole shelf out as a spreadsheet.
This is the important half. A planner that meters the saving is a
planner you cannot trust with a haul, because the haul is the thing
you are trying not to lose.
Is free enough
For most weeks, yes
A haul that grows over a few weeks rarely touches the ceiling. Twenty
resolves a day is twenty new finds a day. Two chart reads a day covers
two sellers you have not bought from before, and you only read a chart
once per seller — after that the numbers are on the item.
Free stops being enough in one specific shape: a long sitting. You
open a haul thread with forty links in it and work through the whole
thing in one evening. That is where the counters bite, and it is the
only place they do.
Honest tradeoff
Wait a day, or pay
When you hit a counter, nothing is lost and nothing is deleted. The
link still saves. You just do not get the automatic title and photo
until tomorrow, and you can type them in yourself in the meantime.
Paying raises the same counters rather than unlocking a different
product: 250 resolves, 15 chart reads and 40 questions a day, 12 QC
photos per item, 100 hauls. Pro is $2.49 a week after a 3-day free
trial, $5.99 a month, or $44.99 a year.
If you never hit a limit, it buys you nothing, and the page that sells
it says so.
What to compare
Three questions to ask any free planner
-
Can you get your data out? A haul you cannot export
is a haul you are renting. Ask before you put forty links in.
-
Does it need an account to start? Signing up before
you know whether the tool helps is backwards.
-
What is free actually free of? A free tier that
caps the number of saved items is a trial with a longer name.
Credenza answers those three: export to a spreadsheet at any time, no
account needed to use the shelf, and no cap on saved items.
What it is not
A planner, not a store
Credenza does not sell anything, does not hold stock, and is not a
place to search for sellers. It organizes links you already found and
hands them to the shopping agent you already use. The money comes from
Pro, and from an agent affiliate when you open Buy on a participating
agent.
The numbers on this page are the ones the app enforces. If one of them
changes, this page changes with it.
