Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about how credits, pricing and the tools work.
Credits & billing
Do I need a monthly subscription?
No. SearchCredits does not require a monthly subscription. You purchase credits and use them whenever you run SEO research.
How do the credits work?
Each research activity has a clearly displayed credit cost. The relevant number of credits is deducted only after you confirm and run the activity.
Can I choose how many credits to purchase?
Yes. Credits come in top-up packs at a few price points, so you can pick the amount that suits your research needs and budget. Larger packs include a bonus.
Will I be charged automatically every month?
No. Pay-as-you-go top-ups are one-time charges only. There is an optional monthly membership (a set number of credits each month plus a discount on every action), but it is entirely opt-in, and SearchCredits works fully without it.
Can I use the same credits across different tools?
Yes. Your credit balance can be used across every SEO tool available on the platform, from keyword research to local rank tracking.
Do my credits expire?
Free and purchased credits last 12 months from the date they are added. Monthly membership credits are valid during that month only and do not roll over.
Can I see how my credits were used?
Yes. Your account provides a record of your credit purchases and usage.
Is this suitable for agencies?
Yes. Agencies and freelancers can use credits for individual client projects without committing to another recurring software subscription.
Tools & data
What tools are included?
Keyword research, site audits, rank tracking, competitor research, AI visibility, shopping visibility, price watch, and a local rank grid — all on one credit balance.
Where does the SEO data come from?
Data is aggregated from established third-party SEO data providers, the same category of sources most SEO platforms rely on.
