Credits

Every credit, accounted for.

A credit is one small unit of AI work. Your plan includes a monthly allotment to run your marketing — here's exactly what everything costs, so there's never a surprise. Prefer not to count? Connect your own AI key and generation costs 0 credits.

The basics

How credits work.

Three things to know — then the full cost table below.

01 Your plan grants credits monthly

Every plan includes a fixed monthly allotment — 50 on Free, up to 5,000 on Agency. It refills at the start of each billing cycle.

02 Actions spend a few credits each

A social post is ~2 credits, an image 10–45, a blog article 10–50 by length. You always see the cost before you click.

03 Or bring your own key — for free

On Pro and Agency, connect your own AI provider key (BYOK). Generation then runs on your key and costs 0 ScoutRival credits.

Good to know

Resets, roll-over & running low.

When do my credits reset?

Your monthly allotment refills at the start of each billing cycle. Unused monthly credits don't carry over — but purchased top-up packs do.

What happens if I run out?

Generation pauses until your next reset. You can buy a top-up pack any time (top-ups roll over indefinitely), upgrade your plan, or connect your own AI key (BYOK) for unlimited generation at 0 credits.

Do top-up packs expire?

No. Top-up credits roll over and stay in your balance until you use them — even across billing cycles.

Which actions never cost credits?

Building the content engine, your first brand, your first five competitors per brand, exports, device screenshots — and everything you generate with BYOK.

Do I always see the cost first?

Yes. Every credit-costing action shows a “cost chip” before you confirm, and your running balance is always visible in the app.

How do Agency seats affect credits?

Agency starts at 5 seats and 5,000 credits/month. Each extra seat is $25/month and adds 1,000 credits/month to the shared pool.
