# Extra Credits

> Scale your AI credit pool, earn bonus credits, and understand how non-expiring balances work.

## Overview

Sight AI runs on a single **AI credit pool** per team. Your monthly plan grant refreshes each billing cycle.

There are three ways to get credits beyond your monthly plan grant:

1. **Raise your credit size** — Pro and Business let you pick a higher monthly credit allowance from a dropdown on the billing page.
2. **Buy a one-time credit pack** — purchase non-expiring extra credits from the billing page whenever you need a top-up.
3. **Bonus credits** — Referrals, promo codes, and other rewards add non-expiring credits to your team balance.

## How credits are spent

Everything powered by AI draws from the same pool: articles, images, AI editor actions, visibility checks, agent chat, automations, outreach drafts, and more.

**Approximate anchor:** \~100 credits = 1 full SEO article (text + image).

> [!NOTE]
>
> Background infrastructure — embeddings (which power site search, agent memory, and retrieval), the website analysis that auto-configures a new site during setup, and internal content classification — is **included and never deducted** from your balance.

Credits are consumed in this order:

1. **Monthly plan grant** — refreshes at the start of each billing period
2. **Bonus credits** — referrals, promos (never expire)
3. **Extra credits** — any purchased one-time balance (never expire)

## Scaling your monthly credits (Pro & Business)

Pro and Business include a **credit size dropdown** on the plan-selection and billing pages. Pick the size that matches your volume:

* **Pro** — 10,000, 13,000 or 20,000 credits/mo
* **Business** — 27,500, 47,500 or 65,000 credits/mo

Prompt tracking has no cap on Pro and Business; each check draws on your credits, so a bigger size means more checks. Moving to a bigger size takes effect immediately: Stripe charges the prorated difference and your balance rises by the prorated difference for the rest of the period. See [Upgrading and Downgrading](https://docs.trysight.ai/billing/upgrading-downgrading.md).

### Starter plan

Starter includes a **fixed 5,000 credits per month** (\~50 articles) and can buy one-time credit packs. For a bigger monthly grant, or for the SEO suite, automations and the API, upgrade to **Pro**; outreach starts on **Business**.

## One-time credit packs

Need a top-up without changing your monthly plan? Buy a one-time AI credit pack from **Settings** > **Billing** > **Buy AI Credits**. Packs range from 2,500 to 200,000 credits, and each pack shows an **estimated article count** (\~100 credits ≈ 1 full article) so you know roughly how much content it covers.

Credit packs:

* **Never expire**
* Are **shared across all sites** on your team
* Are charged immediately to your subscription's payment method (active subscription required — not available during trial)
* Are spent **after** your monthly plan grant and bonus credits are exhausted

## Bonus credits (referrals & promos)

Bonus credits are added to your team when you:

* **Refer a friend** — you and your friend each receive **2,500 bonus credits** when they subscribe
* **Redeem a promo code** — promo grants are credited to your team balance

Bonus credits:

* **Never expire**
* Are **shared across all sites** on your team
* Are spent **after** your monthly plan grant is exhausted
* Remain in your account even if you change plans or pause your subscription

## When to scale credits vs. upgrade plans

| Scenario | Recommendation |
| - | - |
| You need more monthly AI capacity on Pro or Business | **Raise your credit size** from the billing page |
| You need a one-off top-up without changing your monthly bill | **Buy a one-time credit pack** from the billing page |
| You need the SEO suite, automations, agent connectors or the API | **Upgrade to Pro** — credits alone don't unlock modules |
| You need outreach, white-label reports or the Business SEO features | **Upgrade to Business** |
| You're on Starter and need more than 5,000 credits/mo | **Upgrade to Pro**, or buy a one-time credit pack |
| You earned credits from a referral or promo | **Use bonus credits** — they never expire |

## Frequently Asked Questions

> [accordion] Do monthly plan credits roll over?
>
> No. Your plan grant refreshes each billing period. Bonus and extra credits never expire and carry over indefinitely.

> [accordion] What happens to bonus credits if I cancel?
>
> Bonus credits stay on your team. If you reactivate later, they're still available.

> [accordion] Can I buy one-time credit packs?
>
> Yes. Go to **Settings** > **Billing** and click **Buy AI Credits**. Packs start at 2,500 credits (est. \~25 articles), never expire, and are charged immediately to your payment method on file.

> [accordion] Can I get bonus credits during my trial?
>
> Referral bonuses are granted when your referred friend converts to a paid subscription. Promo redemption follows the same rules as paid teams.

> [accordion] Is it cheaper to upgrade plans or raise my credit tier?
>
> If you're already on Pro or Business and just need more volume, raising your credit size is usually the right move. If you need new modules (the SEO suite, automations, outreach, white-label reports), upgrade your plan first.
