Understanding the Token System

Learn how tokens work, what they're used for, and how to manage your token balance.

Revuloop uses a token-based system for AI-powered features. Here's everything you need to know.

What Are Tokens?

Tokens are the currency used for AI features in Revuloop:

  • AI Survey Generation: Create complete surveys with AI
  • Question Enhancement: Improve individual questions
  • Template Usage: Access premium templates
  • Smart Surveys: Adaptive AI-powered survey responses
  • Content Validation: AI-powered content checking

How Tokens Work

Token Costs

Traditional Survey Creation

  • Survey Generation: 100 tokens base + 1 token per 5 questions
  • Question Enhancement: 40 tokens (complex enhancements: 80 tokens)
  • Template Usage: 60 tokens
  • Content Validation: 20 tokens

Smart Surveys (Adaptive AI-Powered)

Smart Surveys use AI to generate follow-up questions based on respondent answers in real-time:

  • Session Creation: 1 token (starting a Smart survey)
  • Question Generation: 3 tokens per AI-generated follow-up question
  • Response Analysis: 2 tokens per response (sentiment/quality analysis)
  • Real-time Predictions: 0.4 tokens (typing suggestions)
  • Fallback Questions: 0.2 tokens (pre-defined questions)
  • Sentiment Analysis: 0.6 tokens per analysis

Estimated Smart Survey Cost: A typical 8-question session costs approximately 41 tokens (1 session + 24 question generation + 16 response analysis)

Token Sources

  1. Subscription Allocation: Monthly tokens with your plan
  2. One-Time Purchases: Buy token packages as needed
  3. Bonus Tokens: Signup bonuses and promotions
  4. Admin Adjustments: Refunds or service tokens

Token Usage Tips

  • Use templates to reduce generation costs
  • Enhance questions selectively
  • Monitor usage with analytics

Token Expiration

Subscription Tokens

  • Expire at end of billing period
  • Cannot be carried over
  • Use them or lose them
  • New allocation each month

Purchased Tokens

  • Never expire
  • Available indefinitely
  • Used before subscription tokens
  • Best value for irregular users

Optimizing Token Usage

Smart Generation

  • Provide detailed prompts
  • Choose appropriate complexity
  • Review before generating

Strategic Enhancement

  • Batch similar enhancements
  • Use preview before confirming
  • Target high-impact improvements

Monitoring Usage

  • Check balance regularly
  • Set usage alerts
  • Track spending patterns
  • Plan purchases in advance

Smart Survey Optimization

Smart Surveys offer powerful AI-driven conversations but use tokens per response:

  • Set Maximum Questions: Limit questions per session (default: 8, max: 15)
  • Use Fallback Questions: Pre-defined questions cost less than AI generation
  • Monitor Session Costs: Track token usage per Smart survey session
  • Balance Depth vs Cost: Shorter conversations use fewer tokens
  • Preview Mode: Test Smart surveys without using tokens
