New Update: Get More Flexibility On Your Prompts
Customize your prompt sample rate
Hi! It’s Alan and Andrew. Hope you’re enjoying Athena. We always listen to you and move quickly. Our goal is to help your company become number one in your category.
Based on user feedback, we’ve heard that some users want to track MORE prompts with FEWER samples each, while others want FEWER prompts with MORE samples each.
Exciting news! We are now moving to a credit-based plan to allow users to add as many prompts as you want and finetune their variations. Now, you can add 100+ prompts at once, receive responses according to your schedule, create detailed outlines, and optimize your content for AI Search using Athena’s optimization feature.
Our ultimate goal is to help you grow your citations and influence over AI models (this is viewable through Olympus, our monitoring and insights platform)
You can achieve greater granularity by adding the number of variations to the topic cluster.
For example:
Topic cluster: AI SEO tool
Prompt variation 1: Best AI SEO tools

You can pause some prompts, add new ones, and press run. In a few minutes, you will start receiving responses so you can evaluate whether the prompt is worthwhile for your business.

New Credit-based Plan
In order to support this customization, we are moving to a credit-based plan.
Lite: 3,500 credits
Growth: 10,000 credits
If you go over, extra credits are $100 per 1,250.
Each response = 1 credit
Each Outline = 40 credits
Each Optimized Content = 40 credits
What this means for your account
You’ve already been moved to the closest new plan based on your previous price (before any discounts). And to make sure you’re getting full value, we’ve added bonus credits to match the difference. For example:
If you were paying $900/month, you now get $595 in base credits from the new Growth plan, plus $305 extra credits to bring you even.
Important
Your "Run prompts" are paused to prevent using your credits. Please log in to https://app.athenahq.ai/ and select the schedule that works best for you.
Also: your credit balance has been reset for the rest of your billing cycle, so you’re starting fresh today.
Want to change plans or have feedback?
Just reply to this email - we’re happy to help you switch plans or talk through anything. And if you have feedback on the new model, we’d really love to hear it.
Expect more improvements and clearer ways to track your balance in the coming days to help you avoid over billing.
