# Billing overview

> Credit-based billing, at-a-glance balances, and spend rate visibility.

VESSL Cloud bills in credits (1 credit = USD 1.00). Admins can view org-wide balances, spend rates, and manage credits.

## Usage dashboard

The billing overview page provides a comprehensive view of your organization's credit usage and payment information.

The dashboard includes:

* **Credits panel**: Displays your current credit balance, spend rate (hourly), and an **Add Credits** button to top up your account
* **Registered Card panel**: Shows your saved payment method (masked card number and expiration date) with an **Add Card** button to register a new payment method
* **Credit Usage Trends graph**: Visualizes credit usage over time with options to view trends by **Day**, **Week**, or **Month**. The graph shows current spending, prior spend, and current spending rate

## What admins can see

* Organization-level available credits and spend rate
* Charge credits using the top-up flow
* Manage payment methods (add/remove cards)
* Track org/team usage trends and download CSV reports

## Payment method registration

If you haven't registered a payment method or your credits are low, you'll see a banner prompting you to add a payment method or top up credits.
