Credits
Pay-per-use credits for additional monitoring capacity beyond your plan limits.
What Are Credits?
Credits are a flexible pay-per-use option that lets you continue monitoring even after you've used your monthly plan quota. Instead of upgrading your entire plan, you can purchase credit packs to handle temporary spikes or occasional overages.

Only pay for what you need, when you need it

No Commitment

How Credits Work
Credits work as overflow capacity for your subscription plan:
1. Plan quota is used first
Your monthly plan checks are always consumed before any credits. This ensures you get the full value of your subscription.
2. Credits kick in when quota is exhausted
Once you've used all your monthly checks, credits are automatically used to keep your monitors running without interruption.
3. Monitors continue uninterrupted
As long as you have credits, your monitors keep checking on schedule. No missed changes, no manual intervention needed.

Credit Cost Per Check
Every URL check costs 1 credit, regardless of the monitoring type (text, HTML, or visual).
Example
If you've exhausted your plan quota and have 500 credits, you can run 500 additional checks before needing more credits.

When to Use Credits vs. Upgrade
Credits are ideal for:
- - Temporary monitoring spikes
- - One-time projects with extra checks
- - Occasional overages (1-2 months/year)
- - Testing higher usage before upgrading
Consider upgrading if:
- - You consistently exceed your quota
- - You need more monitors (not just checks)

- - You need Pro/Business features

Credits FAQ
Do credits work on the Free plan?
Yes! Free plan users can purchase and use credits to extend their monitoring capacity without upgrading to a paid plan.
What happens when I run out of credits?
If you've exhausted both your plan quota and credits, monitors will be paused until your next billing cycle or until you purchase more credits.
Can I get a refund on credits?
Credit purchases are non-refundable. However, since credits never expire, you can use them whenever you need extra capacity.
Do I lose credits if I upgrade my plan?
No, your credits are preserved when you upgrade. They'll still be available as overflow after your new plan's quota is exhausted.
How do I know when credits are being used?
You'll receive an email notification when your plan quota reaches 80% and again when it's fully exhausted. You can check your credit transaction history under Settings → Credits to see exactly when credits are being consumed.
