How do Reward credits work?

Reward credits are AskSoma’s free-tier currency: 20 credits buy one extra Soma chat message or one extra voice minute after your free allowance is used. You earn them without paying — 5/day for your check-in streak (25 bonus every 7th day), 50 when a friend you invite joins (they get 25), 3 per nightly check-in, and 5–25 for onboarding milestones. Earned credits expire after 90 days. Paid packs have their own expiry, shown before checkout.

What credits buy

• One extra Soma chat message (after the daily free one) — 20 credits
• One extra Talk to Soma voice minute (after the free 5 minutes) — 20 credits
• Refresh an insight page on demand — 20 credits
• Remedies deep-dive — 25 credits
• Compatibility check — 30 credits

Every way to earn — with the real amounts

• Daily check-in streak: 5 credits/day, +25 bonus on day 7, 14, 21… (streak freeze tokens earned at days 14 and 30)
• Invite a friend: 50 credits when they join and qualify; your friend gets 25
• Detailed in-app written review: 25 credits (one time)
• Night Companion check-in: 3 credits/night, +25 weekly streak bonus
• Onboarding milestones: 5–25 credits each — e.g. account created 5, birth details 5, calibration 10, first chat 5, first insight 5, cosmic contact added 5, voice tried 5, three insights explored 10
• Written feedback: 5 credits per piece (daily soft cap applies)

Paid packs and expiry

Paid options have different expiry rules. The web Day Pass uses a pay-what-you-want pack valid for 24 hours. Eligible monthly Pro users can buy Boost, Plus or Max message packs with 30-, 90- or 360-day validity. These are separate from earned Reward credits. Check the allowance, expiry and platform availability shown before checkout; a pack does not mean unlimited Pro access.

How many credits does one Soma question cost?

20 credits per chat message, and 20 credits per voice minute beyond the free 5 minutes. A daily streak alone (5 credits/day plus the 25-credit weekly bonus) earns three extra messages a week without spending anything.

Do Reward credits expire?

Earned Reward credits expire after 90 days. The web Day Pass expires after 24 hours; Boost, Plus and Max message packs have 30-, 90- and 360-day validity. Check the expiry attached to your balance or pack rather than assuming every purchase has the same terms.

Can I just buy credits?

Paid options have different expiry rules. The web Day Pass uses a pay-what-you-want pack valid for 24 hours. Eligible monthly Pro users can buy Boost, Plus or Max message packs with 30-, 90- or 360-day validity. These are separate from earned Reward credits. Check the allowance, expiry and platform availability shown before checkout; a pack does not mean unlimited Pro access.

When does Pro beat earning credits?

A perfect streak earns about 60 credits a week (3 messages). Monthly Pro offers 160 Soma messages a month, paced at 40 a week, with optional packs; Annual has unlimited messages subject to fair use. Pro also adds insight pages and premium personas. Compare the current plan terms against how often you use Soma.
