In Promptitude, generations are API requests made when your prompts generate text. Each time you use a prompt to create content, you're using one generation from your subscription plan. Understanding how generations are counted helps you manage your usage effectively and get the most value from your Promptitude subscription.
How Generations Are Counted
🔹 Prompts
When you use prompts in Promptitude, generations are counted in the following ways:
Creating content with prompts - Each time you generate text from the "Edit" or "Use" tabs within a prompt, one generation is deducted
Public pages and embeds - When visitors use your prompts on public pages or through embeds, each interaction counts as one generation
API usage - Every time your application calls a prompt through the API, it counts as one generation
Integrations - Using prompts through integrations like Make or Google Sheets counts toward your generation limit
Preview feature - Using the "Preview" feature in both the app and API will deduct one generation each time
Prompt Assistant - Each generation will be deducted from your plan's total number of generations.
🔹 Assistants
Assistants work a bit differently when it comes to counting generations:
When you start a new chat within an assistant, one generation is deducted
Starting a conversation from the general chat also counts as one generation
The entire conversation only counts as a single generation, regardless of how many messages are exchanged
This makes assistants particularly efficient for extended interactions, as you're only charged once per conversation.
🔹 Flows
Flows themselves are generation-friendly:
Flows do not deduct generations on their own
Only the individual prompts within flows can deduct generations when they're used
This applies whether the prompts are used as standalone creations or as part of a flow
🔹 Promptitude API
Not all API interactions count as generations:
Only calls to the /generate API endpoint count toward your generation limit
Other API endpoints (such as /rate) do not count as generations
Managing Your Generations
To make the most of your subscription:
Monitor your usage through your Promptitude dashboard
Use assistants for extended conversations since they only count as one generation
Test efficiently by planning your prompt testing to minimize unnecessary generations
Choose the right plan based on your expected generation needs
📌 How many Generations can I make?
The number of generations you can make per month depends on your plan:
Free | Starter | SaaS | Growth | Enterprise |
100 Generations | 1000 Generations | 2,500 Generations | 10,000 Generations | Custom Generations |
Example: You've signed up for the monthly SaaS plan on January 5. That means you can make 10,000 Generations during each billing period (Jan 5 through Feb 5, etc.).
Go to the Plan page to find out when your monthly Generations reset.
Generations in Promptitude represent each time you use the platform to generate text through prompts. They're counted when you use prompts directly, through assistants (once per conversation), or via the API's generate endpoint. Understanding how generations work helps you optimize your usage and select the most appropriate subscription plan for your needs.
