🔍 What Are Content Credits?
Content Credits are the in-platform currency used to generate AI-assisted content, including blog posts, articles, and press releases. Every Search Atlas plan — including Lifetime memberships — comes with a monthly Content Credit allocation that refreshes each billing cycle.
Important: Content Credits are not a one-time lifetime pool. They are allocated on a recurring monthly basis, meaning you receive a set number of credits each month as long as your Lifetime membership is active.
📊 How Many Credits Does a Lifetime Membership Include?
The exact number of Content Credits included in your Lifetime plan depends on the tier you purchased. To confirm your specific monthly allocation, log in to your Search Atlas account and locate your plan details in the billing or account settings area of the platform.
If the number shown does not match what you expected at the time of purchase, please reach out to our support team so we can review your account and clarify your plan terms.
📰 How Many Credits Does a Press Release Use?
Press releases are among the more credit-intensive content types on the platform because they are longer, structured documents that require significant AI generation. The exact credit cost for a press release varies by plan and configuration.
To confirm the credit cost that applies to your specific Lifetime plan, check your credit quotas under Avatar → Billing → Plans & Top-ups (HyperDrive Credits, AI Generation) before creating a press release, or contact our support team to have your plan terms reviewed.
⚙️ Why Is My Credit Balance Lower Than Expected?
If your remaining credits are lower than you anticipated, here are the most common reasons:
- Press release generation: Press releases consume a significant number of credits per piece, so generating multiple in a single cycle can quickly reduce your balance.
- Other content generation: Other AI content types also draw from the same monthly credit pool.
- Credit reset timing: Credits reset on your monthly renewal date, not necessarily on the first of the calendar month. Check your account's plan details for your exact reset date.
- Team member usage: If your plan includes multiple seats, other users on your account may also be consuming credits.
💡 Tips for Managing Your Monthly Credit Allocation
To make the most of your monthly Content Credits, consider the following best practices:
- Check your remaining credit balance in your account settings before starting large content projects.
- Prioritize which content pieces to generate first based on business need, keeping in mind that press releases are credit-intensive.
- Monitor team member activity if your plan includes multiple seats, as all users share the same monthly pool.
