Credit System
How Credits Work
Section titled “How Credits Work”Credits are the Paceghost platform currency. Every action has a credit cost. The Crawlability Check is free (zero credits); the Website Snapshot, Website Analysis, the Visibility Benchmark, and Create Report each consume credits.
Your credit balance is displayed on the dashboard and refreshes in real-time as actions consume credits.
Monthly Allocation
Section titled “Monthly Allocation”Each tier receives a monthly credit allocation on the refill date. Higher tiers receive more credits, enabling more audits and broader benchmark coverage.
See Pricing & Tiers for the credit allocation at each tier.
Rollover Rules
Section titled “Rollover Rules”On a paid plan, unused Credits carry over to the next month once. Credits that are not used in that next month are lost. Monthly and yearly plans follow the same rule. The Free plan’s Credits are a one-time grant with no monthly refill or rollover.
Automated Audits
Section titled “Automated Audits”Monitoring is on by default when you add a domain. Your first Full Audit runs immediately.
On a plan that includes automated audits (currently the Starter plan), Paceghost then runs Full Audits on a fixed schedule. These automated audits are included in the plan, so they do not use your Credit balance. They do not depend on your balance: a balance that is too low for a Manual Audit does not stop them. When the report is ready, we email it to you with the PDF attached. You can turn automated audits off and on for each domain.
On the Free plan, your first Full Audit is included once. Which plans include automated audits, and how often they run, is on the pricing page.
Cancellation Behaviour
Section titled “Cancellation Behaviour”When you cancel your subscription:
- Feature access is gated behind an active subscription
- Your credit balance resets to the free allowance — unused credits are not retained
Re-subscribing starts a fresh credit allowance for the new plan.
Refill Date
Section titled “Refill Date”Your credit refill date is set by your subscription activation date. For monthly subscribers, it aligns with the billing cycle. For yearly subscribers, credits refill monthly on the anniversary date.
Per-Action Costs
Section titled “Per-Action Costs”The Crawlability Check is always free. The Website Snapshot, Website Analysis, the Visibility Benchmark, and Create Report consume credits, with the Benchmark cost varying by tier based on included models and endpoints.
See Pricing & Tiers for the complete tier comparison.
