💡 What Are Account Credits?

Credits are the in-platform currency used to access certain Search Atlas features and tools. When your credits run low, you can purchase a top-up at any time — no need to wait for your billing cycle to renew.

🔍 Where to Find Your Credit Balance

To check how many credits you currently have:

  1. Click your avatar in the top-right corner of the platform.
  2. Select Billing → Plans & Top-ups from the dropdown menu.
  3. Your current credit balance is displayed on this page (Plans & Top-ups).

🛒 How to Purchase Credits

Follow these steps to buy a credit top-up:

  1. Click your avatar in the top-right corner and go to Billing → Plans & Top-ups.

  2. Locate the Plans & Top-ups section.

  3. Click the Top Up button.

  4. Select the package that suits your needs. The available options include:

    • Package pricing and credit amounts are shown directly in the Buy Credits panel and can vary by account — review the options shown there before purchasing rather than assuming a fixed rate
  5. Confirm your payment details and complete the purchase.

  6. Your credits will be added to your account immediately after the transaction is processed.

📊 Tips for Managing Your Credits

  • Monitor regularly: Check your balance under Avatar → Billing → Plans & Top-ups before starting large projects so you are never caught short.
  • Top up anytime: Credit purchases are not tied to your billing date — you can buy more whenever you need them.
  • Credits do not expire: Purchased credits remain in your account and carry over month to month.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

I cannot see the Buy Credits option — what should I do?

Only account owners and users with admin-level permissions can purchase credits. If you do not see the option, ask your account owner to check their role settings or complete the purchase on your behalf.
