FAQ
Pricing questions
How do Lectern credits work?
Credits are Lectern's single usage meter. 100 credits equals $1 of metered model usage. Every visibility run uses credits based on the prompts, providers, and models involved. There is no separate monthly visibility-check quota.
What does Standard AI coverage mean?
Standard AI coverage means Lectern monitors the major AI surfaces where brand visibility matters most — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Enterprise plans can extend coverage to additional models (like Grok) and custom model mixes on request.
What is a daily or weekly refresh?
A refresh is how often Lectern re-runs your tracked queries against AI assistants to capture new mentions, rankings, and citations. Weekly refresh (Hobby) re-checks every seven days — good for spotting longer-term trends. Daily refresh (Pro and Enterprise) re-checks once a day, so you see movement the morning after it happens.
What is history?
History is how far back you can look at your visibility data. 14-day history on Hobby gives you a rolling two-week snapshot. Full history on Pro and Enterprise keeps every refresh you've ever run, so you can compare today against any prior week, month, or quarter.
Are my reports public or private?
On the free Hobby plan, reports are public by default — anyone with the link can view them, which is great for sharing your AI visibility story openly. Upgrading to Pro or Enterprise unlocks private and link-only reports, so you control exactly who can see your data and can keep results team-only.
Can I set daily usage limits?
Lectern uses a monthly credit cap rather than a separate daily quota. Pro defaults to a 15,000-credit monthly cap, equivalent to $150 of metered usage, so provider calls pause before exceeding it.
What happens when I reach my credit cap?
Lectern pauses new metered provider calls before they exceed the cap. You can reduce the number of prompts or providers, raise the cap, or wait for the next billing cycle. A positive balance will never be blocked by a second hidden check quota.
What is a custom prompt set?
A custom prompt set is a tailored library of priority queries built around your specific market, personas, and competitive landscape. Hobby and Pro plans use prompts you configure yourself with help from our onboarding flow. Enterprise customers get a Lectern operator who designs, refines, and maintains the prompt set with you as your market shifts.
