Free & open source

Credits for Laravel

Charge per use in any Laravel app: AI calls, exports, SMS, API requests. Give each user or team a balance, let plans top it up every period without a cron, reserve credits before an AI call and settle what it actually cost, meter usage without ever rounding a credit away, and know at any time where every credit came from and where it went.

composer require packstub/credits

What you’ll write

The real API, copied from the README, so you can judge the code before you install anything.

app/Jobs/RunAgentTurn.php

$hold = $team->credits()->hold(200, 'AI turn');$response = $agent->prompt($question);$hold->settleUsage(['ai.output_tokens' => $response->usage->outputTokens]);

What’s included

Holds reserve an estimate before an AI call and settle the real cost after it; a worker that dies leaks nothing, the hold expires and gives the credits back
Every grant is a lot with its own expiry, spent soonest-expiring first; refunds return to the lots they came from; plan allowances renew lazily, once, however many workers race
Meters carry fractions of a credit to the next call, idempotency keys make retries safe, and credits:audit proves the ledger balances
