What a credit is and what each query costs

Every Google query costs us money. Credits are how you pay for it: before searching, the tool tells you how many credits it will cost, and it never charges more than that.

What we don't charge for

• What you already paid for that's still fresh: what's already paid for isn't charged twice.
• Queries that fail or where Google returns no results: the credits go back to your account by themselves.

Credits are used starting with the ones that expire first, so you don't lose any.

When you're running low

• When you're down to 20% of your last purchase (10 of a Pass, 30 of a Pro, 140 of an Agency), your balance turns orange and a notice appears at the top with a one-click top-up button.
• We send you one email, once per purchase, with what you can still do. If you've only used the free credits, we don't write.
• If a query costs more than you have left, the tool tells you how many you're missing. If you top up from there, your search waits for you exactly as you left it.
• We suggest renewing your plan if you have one; if not, the Pass. With Pro or Agency you can also buy a Top-up: 100 credits for $8 that last 60 days, without renewing the month. It's all in Buy credits.
• Don't want to see the notice now? Press Not now: it only comes back if your balance changes.
