# What coaching costs

Live coaching draws from your credit balance for as long as a session is active. Nothing else in Meetfy uses credits.

## How it's billed

- Coaching costs a fixed amount of credit per minute of active session time.
- The clock only runs while a coaching session is actually connected and listening. Ending the session stops the cost immediately.
- Your balance is checked before a session starts. If you don't have enough credit for even a short session, it won't begin.

## What's free

- Recording a meeting's audio.
- Taking and storing photo captures.
- Meeting preparation.
- Reviewing past coaching analyses, recordings and photos.

Only the live coaching session itself is metered.

## Good to know

- If your balance runs low while a session is already running, Meetfy warns you before it runs out. See [Topping up during a live session](https://www.meetfy.ai/en/helpcenter/credits-and-billing/topping-up-during-a-live-session).
- Your current balance is always visible in Settings. See [Understanding credits](https://www.meetfy.ai/en/helpcenter/credits-and-billing/understanding-credits).
