How credits work

One balance. Your choice of perspective.

Purchased DiaryBub credits can support Gurnle or a Guide who offers Unlock for Credits. A standard AI insight or conversation reply uses 0.08 credit after any included AI allowance or bonus is spent. A paid Guide insight uses 1 credit for text or photo or 2 credits for audio or video when unlocked.

Manual unlock is the default unless you explicitly enable automatic Guide credit spending. Guides may also offer complimentary insights. A monthly Guide retainer is a separate payment method, quoted before checkout, and does not charge these credits for that relationship.

Good to know

A few details before you begin.

Do I need a subscription to keep a journal?

No. You can use DiaryBub as a private journal without subscribing to Gurnle or buying credits. Guidance is optional.

When does the Gurnle free month begin?

Your one-time free month starts when you choose to turn on AI Guidance. Simply creating an account does not start it. Turning AI Guidance off later does not pause or restart the month.

Can my monthly AI allowance pay a human guide?

No. The monthly Gurnle allowance is for AI interactions. Purchased DiaryBub credits can be used for eligible AI actions or paid human guide responses.

How do I pay a human Guide?

A public Guide may offer a monthly retainer, Unlock for Credits, or both. You choose one method for that journal or Bubble request. A retainer shows the Guide amount and DiaryBub fee before checkout; credit insights show their cost before you unlock. Guide payment options depend on your platform and the Guide’s offers.

Does a Bubble need its own Gurnle subscription?

No. Each member uses their own AI plan or credits for guidance in a Bubble. A Bubble does not have a separate shared AI subscription.

Are these the exact prices I will pay?

The amounts shown are USD reference prices. Apple and Google Play show localized prices in the app, and the price presented at checkout is the price that applies to your purchase.
