Practical advice for getting the most out of your credit allocation each month.
Last updated
A practical guide to getting the most out of your monthly credit allocation. For the full action catalog see Credits and Pricing.
Use single-page audits to refine before scaling. A Top 20 audit catches site-wide issues at 40 credits — usually a better first move than jumping straight to a full site scan at 500 credits. Once your single-page audits are clean, step up to Top 20 or Top 50. Full site is best reserved for periodic deep-dive reviews or large content migrations.
Fast mode is free. Switch to Thinking mode only when you actually need step-by-step reasoning, or you've hit a problem Fast mode can't solve. Each Thinking turn costs 2 credits — 10 Thinking turns is the cost of one single-page audit, so it adds up faster than you'd expect.
Brand intelligence findings are configured at 15 credits per run, but the action is currently in shadow mode — no credits are deducted and the configured monthly cap is not enforced. What you actually see is capped by tier: Pro surfaces 3 findings per daily package, Ultra and Enterprise see all of them, and the free tier is excluded from findings generation entirely. Schedule these for high-leverage moments (post-launch, post-content-refresh, ahead of a campaign) rather than setting them on autopilot and watching the credits tick away.
At 25 credits per run, infographics are among the most expensive per-run content actions — only the full-site audit (500 credits), the Top 50 audit (85), and the Top 20 audit and semantic landscape run (40 each) cost more. Pro's configured cap is 5 infographics per month, but it is not enforced today — infographic_gen runs in shadow mode, so no credits are deducted and the cap does not trip until pricing_v2 is flipped live. If you need more, step up to Ultra (25/mo) or batch your needs — draft multiple infographic briefs before you run, rather than iterating one draft at a time.
Speech-to-text is 1 credit per minute, Live Voice is 3 credits per minute. A 30-minute meeting with live transcription costs 90 credits. On paid tiers this adds up quickly if you transcribe routinely — plan for it, or use recordings sparingly.
Multi-seat plans share one pool. If one teammate burns through their share on a big audit run, the rest of the team is affected. Use the Member Usage Breakdown in Settings → Credit Usage (visible to Owners and Admins) to spot heavy users and have a conversation before you hit the ceiling.
Settings → Active Credit Holds shows credits reserved by in-progress actions. If a hold lingers more than a few minutes after the action should have finished, something probably crashed. Wait 24 hours for the auto-refund to kick in, or contact support if you need the credits back sooner.
Concrete signals that the next tier up is worth it:
| Action | Pro | Ultra | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|
| brand_intelligence_findings | 10/mo* | 50/mo* | Unlimited |
*Configured but not enforced today — brand_intelligence_findings runs in shadow mode, so no credits are deducted and the cap never trips. The limit you actually experience is how many findings are displayed per tier: Pro 3, Ultra and Enterprise unlimited, free none (free tenants are excluded from findings generation).
| infographic_gen | 5/mo | 25/mo | Unlimited |
| deep_research | 2/mo | 4/mo | Unlimited |
| All other paid-tier actions | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
"Unlimited" still draws from your total credit pool — there's no per-action cap, but every action costs credits.
