What consumes credits
The exact rate for every kind of work, and why crawl pages have two prices
What credits are not for
Daily measurement does not consume credits. Your subscription covers it, and it keeps running at zero balance.
This is deliberate. A session you could not run is a session you run tomorrow; a day of measurement you did not take is a hole in your history that no amount of money can fill later. Nobody can ask an assistant what it said last Tuesday.
The rates
| Work | Cost |
|---|---|
| Agent task | 1 credits per step |
| GEO audit | 8 credits, plus the pages it samples |
| Crawl page, fetched directly | 1 credit |
| Crawl page, needing a browser fetch | 4 credits |
| Tool call over MCP or the API | 1 credit per successful call |
| Opening a text in the content studio — an agent draft or an existing page loaded by its address (with the first conclusions from your measurements) | 5 credits, once per text — opening it again is free |
| AI action in the content studio (improve, shorten, expand, make quotable, your own instruction, a fix or an FAQ from “Ready for AI”) | 5 credits per action that returns text |
| Reworking the open text from the agent bar at the bottom of the document ("shorten the intro and add a table") | 10 credits per instruction, only when the text is changed |
| Refreshing the conclusions in the content studio | 2 credits, only when new conclusions are written |
| Improving the text from the conclusions ("Improve the text": AI fixes the section that covers the gap, or adds one) | 10 credits, only when the change is written |
A question asked in Claude or ChatGPT usually makes a few tool calls, so it costs a few credits. Calls that fail, and write plans you have not confirmed yet, are free. Our own agent uses the same tools inside a session and pays for the session, not per call.
Why a crawled page has two prices
Most pages we can fetch directly. Sites behind bot protection need a full browser-based fetch, which is far more work for every page.
A single flat rate would be a choice between overcharging customers with open sites and subsidising customers behind aggressive protection. Two rates describe what actually happened, which is also why the ledger shows you which rate applied.
Where they come from
Each plan adds credits every month: Starter 1,000, Growth 4,000, Scale 9,500, Agency 15,000.
They roll over. A month where you barely used the agent leaves its credits on the account for the month where you do. Nothing expires while the subscription is active, and the monthly credits arrive on the same date each month whether you pay monthly or yearly.
Need more before the next top-up? Buy a credit pack from Settings → Billing — the bigger the pack, the lower the price per credit:
- 1,000 credits — $20 ($0.020 each)
- 5,000 credits — $90 ($0.018 each, 10% off)
- 10,000 credits — $160 ($0.016 each, 20% off)
- 25,000 credits — $375 ($0.015 each, 25% off)
Reading the ledger
Settings → Usage lists every charge with what caused it, so a month that went faster than expected can be traced to the specific crawl or agent session that did it. If work stops for lack of credits, it says where it stopped and resumes from there once topped up — a crawl does not start over.
