🔍 What Are Hyperdrive Credits?
Hyperdrive Credits (HDC) are a premium resource within Search Atlas that let you accelerate certain high-value tasks — including generating and distributing press releases. Each credit represents one unit of usage for supported features, and your available balance depends on your current plan.
📊 Which Plans Include Hyperdrive Credits?
Hyperdrive Credits are available exclusively on paid plans. Here is what you need to know:
- Free Trial: Hyperdrive Credits are not included during the free trial period. Credits are granted only when you roll over to a paid subscription.
- Paid Plans: Credits are added to your account automatically at the start of each billing cycle (monthly or annual rollover). The number of credits you receive depends on your specific plan tier.
- Unused Credits: Plan-included credits (and the optional recurring monthly HDC top-up) do not carry over between billing cycles, so make sure to use them before your renewal date. Credits purchased as a one-time top-up roll over and stay on your account until used completely.
🚀 What Can Hyperdrive Credits Be Used For?
Once you are on a paid plan, Hyperdrive Credits can be applied to supported premium features. Common uses include:
- Press release generation and distribution — one of the most popular uses for HDC.
- Other accelerated content and outreach features available within your plan.
The exact list of supported features may vary by plan tier. Check your account dashboard for a full breakdown of eligible actions.
⚙️ How to Check Your Hyperdrive Credit Balance
- Log in to your Search Atlas account.
- Navigate to your account or billing settings from the top navigation menu.
- Look for the Hyperdrive Credits section to view your current balance and renewal date.
If you do not see a credit balance, confirm that your free trial has ended and that you are on an active paid plan.
🛠️ Upgrading to Access Hyperdrive Credits
If you are currently on a free trial and want to start using Hyperdrive Credits, you will need to upgrade to a paid plan. Once your plan activates, credits will be granted automatically at your next billing cycle rollover.
To explore available plans and upgrade options, click your avatar in the top-right corner, then go to Billing → Plans & Top-ups tab (Billing).
