🔍 What Are AI Credits?
AI credits power Search Atlas features that use artificial intelligence, such as generating content, running AI-based analyses, and producing SEO recommendations. Every plan comes with a default monthly AI credits quota, but you can increase this limit without upgrading to a higher-tier plan.
💡 Can I Increase My AI Credits on My Current Plan?
Yes. Search Atlas allows you to purchase additional AI credits as an add-on directly within your existing plan — including the $99 plan. You do not need to upgrade to a higher subscription tier just to get more AI credits.
⚙️ How to Increase Your AI Credits Quota
- Log in to your Search Atlas account.
- Click your avatar in the top-right corner to open the Account Menu.
- Select Billing.
- Scroll to the Add-Ons section.
- Locate the AI Credits add-on option.
- Choose the additional credits package that fits your needs.
- Confirm your purchase. Your new credits will be available immediately.
📊 Which Category Do I Need to Increase?
When managing your quota inside the platform, AI credits fall under the AI Credits category specifically — separate from other usage limits like keyword lookups or tracked keywords. Make sure you are adjusting the AI Credits add-on and not another usage category to ensure the correct quota is increased.
🛠️ Things to Keep in Mind
- Add-ons are billed monthly and renew on the same cycle as your main subscription.
- AI credits do not roll over — unused credits expire at the end of your billing cycle.
- You can purchase add-ons multiple times within the same cycle if you exhaust your quota mid-month.
- Your base plan credits and purchased add-on credits are combined into a single pool, so there is no separate tracking needed.
🚀 Tips to Use AI Credits Efficiently
- Batch your content generation tasks together to avoid sporadic, high-consumption sessions.
- Use the AI Credit usage tracker in your dashboard to monitor consumption in real time.
- Plan large AI-assisted projects around the start of your billing cycle so you have the full quota available.
