One-off credits vs monthly allocation

Monthly allocationOne-off purchase
Included in plan✅ Yes❌ Purchased separately
RefreshesEvery billing cycleNever — they persist
ExpiresAt end of billing cycleNever
Used first✅ Monthly credits are used before one-off creditsUsed after monthly credits are exhausted
One-off credits never expire — they remain in your balance until used. This makes them a safe way to ensure you always have credits available, especially if your usage is unpredictable.

​
When to buy credits

Common scenarios for buying additional credits:
  • You’re mid-month and running low — your BDR agents are active and using credits faster than expected
  • You have a big discovery search planned — searching across many locations will use credits quickly
  • You’re onboarding a new team member — more people means more AI conversations
  • You want a safety buffer — keep a reserve so features never stop working unexpectedly

​
Checking your balance

Your current credit balance is always visible at Settings → Billing. The Usage page (Settings → Usage) shows a detailed breakdown of where credits are being spent.
If you find yourself buying one-off credits regularly, it might be more cost-effective to upgrade your plan — higher tiers come with larger monthly allocations and better per-credit rates.
