AI credits give you access to Burp Suite's AI-powered features. Whenever you use an AI-powered tool or an extension that interacts with an AI model, credits are deducted from your balance.
Note
AI features are only available in Burp Suite Professional version 2025.2 and later. Any AI credits you buy cannot be used in earlier versions of Burp Suite.
Buying AI credits
You can buy AI credits from My Account on the PortSwigger site. You must have a Burp Suite Professional license associated with your account to buy AI credits.
To check your AI credit balance, click the AI icon in the bottom-right corner of Burp. You can also view your balance in My Account.
Unused credits expire 12 months after purchase.
Note
AI credits are assigned to an individual user. They cannot be shared or pooled across multiple users.
Using AI credits
The amount of credits required by a feature depends on how many AI requests the feature needs to make, and how complex those requests are. For example, Explainer generally uses credits at a low rate, as it only needs to send and receive snippets of text. However, Explore This requires Burp to send larger requests to the AI, and usually uses credits at a higher rate.
If you run out of AI credits, Burp's AI features stop working until you buy more. For AI scan enhancements, you can choose whether a scan should stop running or carry on without AI features if you run out of credits part way through the scan.
Extensions
The number of credits needed for an AI-powered extension depends on the extension's implementation. You can track credit use for individual extensions. To see how many credits an extension has used in the current Burp session, go to Extensions > Installed and check the AI credits used this session column.
