Credit System
How Credits Work
Section titled “How Credits Work”Credits are the Paceghost platform currency. Every action has a credit cost. Free actions (Crawlability Check, Website Snapshot, Create Report) cost zero 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”Unused credits roll over to the next month, up to a cap:
| Plan Type | Rollover Cap |
|---|---|
| Monthly plans | 3× monthly allocation |
| Yearly plans | 12× monthly allocation |
| Free tier | No rollover (resets monthly) |
Cancellation Behaviour
Section titled “Cancellation Behaviour”When you cancel your subscription:
- Your credits do not expire — they remain in your balance indefinitely
- Feature access is gated behind an active subscription
- If you re-subscribe, your banked credits are still there
This is intentional — it creates an endowment bias that encourages re-subscription.
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”Crawlability Check, Website Snapshot, and Create Report are always free. Website Analysis and the Visibility Benchmark consume credits, with the Benchmark cost varying by tier based on included models and endpoints.
See Pricing & Tiers for the complete tier comparison.
