What Are Hyperdrive Credits (HDCs)?
Hyperdrive Credits (HDCs) are the in-platform currency used to power AI-driven features across Search Atlas — including content generation, keyword research, OTTO SEO actions, and more. Every paid plan includes a monthly HDC allocation that refreshes on your billing cycle date.
HDC Allocations by Plan
Each Search Atlas plan comes with a set monthly HDC allocation. Higher-tier plans receive more credits to support larger teams and heavier workloads. Here is a general breakdown of how allocations scale:
- Starter plans — a foundational HDC pool suited for individuals or small projects.
- Growth plans — a mid-tier allocation designed for growing agencies and in-house teams.
- Pro and Enterprise plans — the largest standard allocations, built for high-volume SEO operations.
For the exact HDC number tied to your current or prospective plan, please reach out to our support team who can confirm the specific allocation figures for your plan.
Summit Bonus Offer — What "+30% HDCs" Means
The Summit Bonus is a limited-time promotional offer available to qualifying upgrade customers. Because the specific terms of this promotion can vary and are subject to change, the details below represent general guidance — please contact our team to confirm the exact terms applicable to your account:
- +30% HDCs — When you upgrade during the promotional window, your plan's standard monthly HDC allocation may be increased by 30%. For example, if your plan normally includes 10,000 HDCs per month, the Summit Bonus would raise that to 13,000 HDCs per month.
- Qualifying upgrade — The bonus is generally associated with moving from a lower-tier plan to an eligible higher-tier plan within the promotional period.
- Recurring vs. one-time — Whether the +30% increase applies to every monthly cycle or as a one-time top-up depends on the specific terms of the offer — confirm this with our support team before upgrading.
- Transferability — Whether the bonus carries over if you switch plans after the promotional window closes should also be confirmed directly with our team.
To get authoritative confirmation of the current Summit Bonus end date and eligibility requirements for your account, contact our support team directly.
Unlimited Quotas
During certain designated promotional windows, some HDC-consuming features may be available with unlimited quotas, meaning standard per-feature usage caps are temporarily lifted. If you have seen messaging about unlimited quotas through a specific date (such as August 21st), our support team can confirm whether that window is currently active for your account and which features it applies to.
To get accurate, account-specific information on any of the topics above — including your exact HDC allocation, Summit Bonus eligibility, and whether an unlimited quota window is active — please have your account email and current plan name ready when you reach out.
