fix(pricing): correct free-tier credits as one-time, not monthly

[TheodoreSpeaks]

Summary

• Free plan's 1,000 credits are a one-time grant, not monthly. Free accounts have no subscription, so usage resolves against the open default billing window (epoch → year 9999) and never resets — cycle-close skips free plans outright, and weekly refresh is paid-only
• Pricing cards, in-app upgrade table, and pricing JSON-LD now read Included credits: 1,000 one-time (Free), 6,000/month (Pro), 25,000/month (Max)
• Weekly refresh values carry /week so both rows are self-describing instead of one row stating cadence inline and the other implying it from its label
• Comparison free-tier fact no longer claims a monthly grant
• Five library articles + docs FAQ corrected; docs FAQ also had stale paid credits (5,000/20,000 → 6,000/25,000)
• dify-alternatives additionally described a 50/200-credit daily refresh, which was replaced by the weekly refresh in improvement(billing): replace daily refresh credits with weekly refresh #7113

Values stay derived from DEFAULT_FREE_CREDITS / CREDIT_TIERS — only labels and cadence suffixes are new, so the cards can't drift from the constants.

Greptile Summary

Corrects product, documentation, and comparison copy to describe the Free plan’s 1,000 credits as a one-time grant rather than a monthly allowance.

• Adds explicit monthly and weekly cadence suffixes to the upgrade comparison data.
• Updates paid-plan credit amounts and weekly refresh details in documentation and library content.
• Aligns the Sim comparison profile with the implemented free-credit lifecycle.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge with no actionable defects identified.

The revised amounts and cadence labels match the billing constants and implemented lifecycle, and the affected UI renderers can accommodate the longer values.
