Quick Answer
HubSpot Credits (the renamed Breeze Intelligence Credits) are HubSpot's usage-based currency for Breeze AI agents, buyer intent signals, Data Studio, and AI workflow actions, billed at published per-action rates from 1 credit ($0.01) for a custom-agent action unit up to 1,000 credits ($10) for a single Content agent piece, at the standard $0.01-per-credit rate. Every paid subscription includes a monthly allowance — 500 credits on Starter, 3,000 on Professional, 5,000 on Enterprise — and additional capacity sells in 1,000-credit packs at $10 per pack. Two of the most-asked-about features cost no credits at all: data enrichment is included with paid plans, and the Closing agent (beta) has no credit line on the rate sheet. This directory consolidates every rate from HubSpot's own Product and Services Catalog as of October 2026, along with the billing mechanics that determine what you actually pay.
Key Takeaways (TL;DR)
- Rate range: 1 credit ($0.01) per custom or Work agent action unit, up to 1,000 credits ($10) per Content agent (beta) piece. Prospecting agent runs 100 credits ($1.00) per lead recommendation; Customer agent runs 50 credits ($0.50) per resolved conversation.
- Included monthly credits: 500 (Starter), 3,000 (Professional), 5,000 (Enterprise), set by your highest-tier subscription — not additive. Credits reset monthly and do not roll over.
- Data enrichment is free: automatic, bulk, and continuous enrichment and form shortening are features of paid HubSpot subscriptions and do not appear on the credits rate sheet.
- Closing agent (beta): no credit line on the rate sheet — it is bundled with Revenue Hub Professional and Enterprise. HubSpot aims to give about 30 days' notice before any beta feature begins consuming credits.
- Buying more: $10 per 1,000-credit pack, reducible or cancellable only at the end of your contract term. First purchases on or after September 16, 2026 default to pay-as-you-go overages at $0.01 per credit; earlier purchasers default to auto-upgrade.
- How Vantage Point helps: our HubSpot consulting team models credit consumption against your real lead, ticket, and workflow volumes before you commit.
HubSpot's AI pricing is not hard because the numbers are hidden — it is hard because they are scattered. Per-action rates live in a legal product catalog, billing mechanics live in a knowledge base article, and two of the features buyers ask about most (data enrichment and the Closing agent) are defined by what is not on the rate sheet. This directory pulls every published HubSpot Credits rate into one master table, then breaks down the five features buyers ask about most — Prospecting agent, Customer agent, Closing agent, data enrichment, and buyer intent — followed by the billing mechanics that decide your actual invoice. Every figure comes from HubSpot's own documentation, linked under Sources, and reflects the rate sheet as of October 2026.
What are HubSpot Credits (Breeze credits)?
HubSpot Credits are the platform's usage-based currency for AI and data features: Breeze agents, buyer intent signals, Data Studio datasets, and AI workflow actions all draw from the same credit balance. If you knew this system as Breeze Intelligence Credits, it is the same system under a new name — HubSpot's May 2025 announcement extended its existing credits-based pricing to Breeze Customer Agent for all Pro and Enterprise customers starting June 2, 2025, standardizing on HubSpot Credits as the model for its AI products. You will still see "Breeze credits" in older documentation and search results; it refers to the same balance.
Every paid HubSpot subscription includes a monthly credit allowance at no extra cost. We cover how to stretch that allowance in our guide to HubSpot's included AI credits; this post is the companion piece — the full rate directory and buying guide for the moment usage outgrows the included balance.
HubSpot Credits rate directory (October 2026)
The rates below come from HubSpot's Product and Services Catalog. At standard pricing, one credit costs $0.01, so credits translate directly to dollars. HubSpot notes that beta rates can change — it aims to provide roughly 30 days' notice before a beta feature begins consuming credits — so confirm against the catalog before quoting.
| Category | Feature | One billed event | Credits | Cost at $0.01/credit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI agents | Customer agent | Resolve one conversation (text channels) | 50 | $0.50 |
| AI agents | Customer agent (voice, beta) | One minute of voice conversation | 50 | $0.50 |
| AI agents | Prospecting agent | Recommend outreach for one lead | 100 | $1.00 |
| AI agents | Data agent | Generate a response to one prompt for one record | 10 | $0.10 |
| AI agents | Content agent (beta) | Generate one piece of content | 1,000 | $10.00 |
| AI agents | Knowledge Base Agent (beta) | Generate one new knowledge base article | 200 | $2.00 |
| AI agents | Nurture agent (beta) | Personalize one email for a contact | 10 | $0.10 |
| AI agents | Revenue agent (beta) | Start payment collection outreach for one invoice | 500 | $5.00 |
| AI agents | Custom agents (beta) | Use one action unit (action units estimated at setup) | 1 | $0.01 |
| HubSpot Work | Work agents (beta) | Use one action unit | 1 | $0.01 |
| AI automation | Workflows | Execute one AI action in a workflow | 10 | $0.10 |
| Intent (powered by Data Agent) | Intent | Enable intent signals to create and/or monitor one company for one month — recurring monthly while enabled | 10 | $0.10 per month |
| Intent (beta) | Intent, market segments | Create one company record from market segments | 10 | $0.10 |
| Intent (beta) | Intent, custom signals | Monitor one company for one custom signal for one month — recurring | 50 | $0.50 per month |
| Data Studio (beta) | Dataset under 500K rows | One dataset use in a workflow, segment, CRM sync, or export | 25 | $0.25 |
| Data Studio (beta) | Dataset of 500K–5M rows | One dataset use in a workflow, segment, CRM sync, or export | 75 | $0.75 |
| Data Studio (beta) | Dataset over 5M rows | One dataset use in a workflow, segment, CRM sync, or export | 200 | $2.00 |
| Smart CRM (included) | Data enrichment | Automatic, bulk/segment, and continuous enrichment; form shortening | 0 | Included in paid plans |
Three footnotes before you build a budget from this table. Using a Data Studio dataset in reports is free — credits apply only when the dataset feeds a workflow, segment, sync, or export. Intent charges are recurring: monitoring a company bills every month the signal stays enabled, not once. And the Content agent line is the one that surprises procurement teams — at 1,000 credits per piece, a single beta Content agent article consumes an entire minimum credit block.
How many credits does the HubSpot Prospecting agent use?
100 credits ($1.00) per lead for which the agent recommends outreach. The billed event is the lead recommendation — the research and qualification work behind it — not each email sent, which changes the math on outbound volume. A team recommending outreach for 300 leads a month would consume 30,000 credits ($300): the Professional plan's 3,000 included credits cover the first 30 leads, and the remaining 27,000 credits bill as roughly $270 of monthly overage under pay-as-you-go. We break that model down in our Prospecting agent credits and pricing guide.
How many credits does HubSpot Customer Agent cost per conversation?
50 credits ($0.50) per resolved conversation on text channels; the voice version (in beta) bills 50 credits per minute of voice conversation. Only resolved conversations bill, so abandoned chats do not drain the balance. A support team resolving 400 conversations a month would use 20,000 credits ($200) — meaning the Professional plan's included 3,000 credits cover about 60 resolutions, and an Enterprise plan's 5,000 cover about 100, before overage billing begins.
How many credits does the HubSpot Closing agent use? None — for now.
The Closing agent (beta) has no line on the HubSpot Credits rate sheet. It is bundled with Revenue Hub Professional and Enterprise, where it answers buyer questions on quote pages. What you would actually pay in credits is $0 — the cost of the feature is the Revenue Hub subscription itself. The one caveat is the beta label: HubSpot states that beta features may begin consuming credits later, with a target of about 30 days' notice before that happens. If your sales motion depends on quote-page conversations, budget the subscription, watch the rate sheet, and treat any third-party quote of a Closing agent credit rate as invented.
Does data enrichment use HubSpot Credits? No — and that's the point
Data enrichment costs zero credits on paid plans. HubSpot's catalog lists automatic enrichment, bulk and segment enrichment, continuous enrichment, and form shortening as an Enrichment feature of the Smart CRM and Hub subscriptions — not on the credits rate sheet. Outdated third-party guides still claim enrichment burns credits; that describes older packaging, not the current catalog. The practical consequence is significant: you can enrich your entire database without touching your credit balance, and credits only enter the picture for the agent, intent, Data Studio, and AI workflow actions in the directory above.
How many credits does HubSpot buyer intent use?
Standard intent costs 10 credits per company per month to create and/or monitor — and that charge is recurring for as long as monitoring stays enabled, which makes intent the quietest scaling line on the rate sheet. Monitoring 1,000 target companies consumes 10,000 credits ($100) every month, not once. Two beta options extend it: creating a company record from market segments costs 10 credits per record, and monitoring a company for a custom signal costs 50 credits per company per signal per month. Buyer intent also supports action-level spend limits, so you can cap this line separately from the rest of your balance.
How many HubSpot Credits are included with each plan?
Every paid subscription includes a monthly allowance set by your highest-tier Hub subscription — the allowances are not additive across Hubs:
| Subscription tier | Included monthly credits | Approximate value at $0.01/credit |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | 500 | $5 |
| Professional | 3,000 | $30 |
| Enterprise | 5,000 | $50 |
Credits reset monthly and unused credits do not roll over. One access rule matters for rollout planning: only users with paid seats (Core, Sales, Service, Revenue, or Partner seats) can use credits — free and view-only users cannot.
How do you buy more HubSpot Credits — and what does the minimum block commit you to?
Additional credits are sold as capacity packs: a minimum block of 1,000 credits for $10, stepping up in 1,000-credit increments. There is no smaller paid tier and no partial-block purchase — if your projected overage is 300 credits a month, the entry point is still the full pack. Per HubSpot's knowledge base on managing HubSpot Credits, three terms matter before you click purchase:
- Packs take effect immediately, with charges prorated for the remainder of your current billing period.
- You can only cancel or reduce at the end of your contract term. A pack bought in month two of a twelve-month agreement bills every month until renewal, whether or not the AI pilot survives.
- Changes route through HubSpot Support. Set the renewal-date reminder when you buy, not when the renewal invoice arrives.
In practice: the sticker minimum is $10, but the real minimum commitment is $10 multiplied by the months left in your term.
HubSpot's catalog also lists two flat monthly Agents Packs as limit-increase add-ons for agent-heavy portals: the Base Agents Pack at $25 per month (2,500 credits) and the Growth Agents Pack at $400 per month (40,000 credits).
Pay-as-you-go vs. auto-upgrade: what happens when you run out of credits?
If you use only your included monthly credits, credit-based features simply pause when you hit the limit and resume at the monthly reset. Nothing bills, because overages require having purchased additional credits. Once you own at least one pack, excess usage is handled one of two ways — and HubSpot changed the default on September 16, 2026:
| Pay-as-you-go (default for first purchases on or after Sept 16, 2026) | Auto-upgrade (default for purchases before Sept 16, 2026) | |
|---|---|---|
| Trigger | You exceed total monthly credits | You exceed total monthly credits |
| What happens | Extra usage bills on a separate invoice, monthly in arrears at $0.01 per credit, in 10-credit increments (rounded down) | HubSpot adds another capacity pack for the rest of your term |
| Spend control | Account-level spend limit, pre-set at 150% of your total monthly credits | Commitment grows automatically until you change it |
| Best fit | Variable or spiky usage; teams watching monthly spend | Steady, predictable overage you would have bought anyway |
| Watch out for | Features pause if you hit the spend limit | A one-month spike becomes a term-long pack |
Portals that purchased packs before September 16, 2026 are worth checking: they sit on the auto-upgrade default, and an unnoticed upgrade is the most common way a $10 experiment turns into a recurring line item.
What spend limits and alerts does HubSpot provide?
HubSpot sets an account-level spend limit by default at 150% of your total monthly credits, with notification emails at 75%, 85%, and 90% of the limit. You can tighten it further with feature-level limits across the portal, and buyer intent supports action-level limits for finer control. Treat the 150% default as a ceiling to adjust deliberately — a portal running a Prospecting agent pilot and a busy Customer agent at the same time can reach it faster than either team expects.
How should you size your first credit purchase?
- Start from the included allowance. Run your planned agents on included credits for one full monthly cycle and record where the balance runs out — that gap, not a guess, is your baseline.
- Convert actions to dollars with the directory above. Fifty resolved Customer agent conversations a week is roughly 10,000 credits ($100) a month; ten Prospecting agent lead recommendations a day is roughly 30,000 credits ($300) a month.
- Count the months left in your term. The real cost of a pack is its monthly price times the months until renewal, because you cannot reduce it mid-term.
- Choose the overage model deliberately. First purchases on or after September 16, 2026 start on pay-as-you-go with the 150% spend limit — confirm it fits your peak month. Older portals should check whether auto-upgrade is still their default.
- Put the renewal date on the calendar with a reminder to contact HubSpot Support if you want to cancel or reduce packs before the term renews.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many credits does the HubSpot Prospecting agent use per lead?
As of October 2026, HubSpot's rate sheet lists the Prospecting agent at 100 credits ($1.00) per lead for which it recommends outreach. The billed event is the lead recommendation, not each email sent, so outbound volume planning should start from leads recommended per month. Confirm current rates in HubSpot's Product and Services Catalog, since pricing can change.
How many credits does HubSpot Customer Agent cost per conversation?
Customer Agent bills 50 credits ($0.50) per resolved conversation on text channels, and the voice version (in beta) bills 50 credits per minute of voice conversation. Only resolved conversations bill, so abandoned or unanswered chats do not consume credits.
Does HubSpot data enrichment cost credits?
No. HubSpot's Product and Services Catalog lists automatic enrichment, bulk and segment enrichment, continuous enrichment, and form shortening as an Enrichment feature of paid Smart CRM and Hub subscriptions. None of them appear on the credits rate sheet, despite outdated third-party claims that enrichment consumes credits.
Does the HubSpot Closing agent use credits?
The Closing agent (beta) has no credit line on HubSpot's rate sheet. It is bundled with Revenue Hub Professional and Enterprise, where it answers buyer questions on quote pages, so its cost is the subscription rather than credits. HubSpot states that beta features may begin consuming credits later, with a target of about 30 days' notice.
How many HubSpot Credits do you get for free each month?
Starter subscriptions include 500 credits per month, Professional includes 3,000, and Enterprise includes 5,000, set by your highest-tier Hub subscription rather than added together. Credits reset monthly with no rollover, and only users with paid seats can spend them.
What is the minimum HubSpot Credits purchase?
The minimum purchasable block is 1,000 credits for $10, with additional capacity packs sold in 1,000-credit increments. Packs take effect immediately with prorated charges but can only be cancelled or reduced at the end of your contract term, through HubSpot Support.
What happens when you run out of HubSpot Credits?
On included credits alone, credit-based features pause at the limit and resume at the monthly reset — nothing is billed. Once you have purchased credits, accounts whose first purchase is on or after September 16, 2026 default to pay-as-you-go overages at $0.01 per credit (billed monthly in arrears in 10-credit increments on a separate invoice), while earlier purchasers default to auto-upgrade, which adds another pack for the rest of the term.
How do HubSpot buyer intent credits work?
Intent costs 10 credits per company per month to create and/or monitor, and the charge recurs every month monitoring stays enabled. Two beta options extend it: creating a company record from market segments costs 10 credits per record, and monitoring a company for a custom signal costs 50 credits per company per signal per month. Action-level spend limits are available for buyer intent.
