You have SourceCraft Free and SourceCraft Pro plans, as well as additional Code Assistant Free and Code Assistant Pro plans. How do they relate to each other, and in which combinations can they be used?

Pricing plans can be used in any combination. By default, you have SourceCraft Free and Code Assistant Free enabled; you can upgrade each of them to Pro, and any combination will be useful for certain purposes. Simply put, SourceCraft Pro enables advanced platform features for private repositories and increases resource quotas. Code Assistant Pro provides a significantly larger amount of large language model tokens consumed by the platform’s AI functionality: IDE plugins, chat in the SourceCraft interface, neural code review, AI skills, and so on.

Plan combination		Scenario
SourceCraft	Code Assistant
Free	Free	You want to try out SourceCraft. You don’t need to use AI tools much, you don’t need advanced functionality in private repositories, extended quotas for code storage, CI, etc.
Free	Pro	You use the Code Assistant IDE plugin a lot and the chat in the SourceCraft interface, but you don’t have a strong need to work with the platform’s private repositories or to use extended quotas for code storage and CI.
Pro	Free	You rarely use the platform’s AI tools and the Code Assistant IDE plugin, but you do need full-featured work with private repositories and extended quotas for code storage and CI.
Pro	Pro	You need all SourceCraft capabilities: advanced functionality in private repositories, extended quotas for code storage and CI, and full access to the platform’s AI tools.

What is a neurocredit?

For various tasks and in different modes, Code Assistant uses an ensemble of large language models (LLMs). Code Assistant model resource consumption is calculated in tokens. Each model uses its own tokenizer to process texts, so the number of tokens in the same text will differ across models. The model’s speed, as well as the resources it consumes, vary significantly—accordingly, the cost of using the models also differs.

To calculate the Code Assistant quota, the neurocredit metric is used—an aggregated measure of consumption. Accordingly, different models within Code Assistant consume different amounts of neurocredits.

Right now, SourceCraft automatically decides which models to use, but in the future you will be able to choose models and factor in how many tokens of a particular model you get per neurocredit.

Simply put, right now 1 neurocredit equals $0.008197. Once you use up the per-seat quota on the Code Assistant Pro plan, you can enable additional neurocredits and pay for AI resource consumption at a rate of 1 neurocredit per $0.008197.

By default, the Code Assistant Free plan includes 500 neurocredits, and Code Assistant Pro includes 2,000. In addition, until July 1, 2026, Code Assistant Pro users will receive an extra 2,000 neurocredits, for a total of 4,000.

Let’s say I have my own personal organization and I’m also a member of a work organization. Which balance will be charged for neurocredits?

If you are a member of multiple organizations, you can choose in the SourceCraft interface which one to charge the quota to. If you are not assigned a seat in an organization, then after you exhaust the free quota in your personal organization you will not be able to use Code Assistant until you activate the Code Assistant Pro plan.

How many Code Assistant Pro seats can be created in an organization?

Currently, the quota is limited to five seats per organization. If you need more, contact technical support at Yandex Cloud. In the future, we plan to introduce business plans with more seats, neurocredits, and capabilities.

If I reduce the number of seats, when will the changes take effect and I will pay less?

Starting from the next calendar month.

What about code completion in editors—does it also require neurocredits?

No, there is a separate quota for code completion; neurocredits are not charged. On the Code Assistant Pro plan, this quota is such that with normal continuous use you won’t be able to use it up completely.

How many tokens can be consumed per neurocredit?

We can’t provide an exact ratio because the models in the ensemble are different and change constantly. However, the price is several times lower than when using the API of Yandex AI Studio.

Won’t all the money be charged from my payment card if I use up the Code Assistant Pro quota and switch to additional paid consumption?

Before any money is charged, you must explicitly set a limit for additional paid consumption in the SourceCraft interface. By default, this limit is zero.

If I purchased several Code Assistant Pro seats in an organization, do their neurocredits add up?

Yes, that’s correct. Neurocredits from multiple seats are pooled into the organization’s shared “piggy bank” of neurocredits.

Can I set daily, weekly, or monthly usage limits for members of my organization? Can I see who uses which AI tools and how much?

Not yet. Stay tuned for updates.
