Credits & pricing rules
What every call costs, the two kinds of credits, when monthly credits reset, and what happens at zero.
Two kinds of credits
You have two kinds of credits.
- Monthly credits come with your plan. On Free they reset on the 1st of each month (UTC). On a paid plan they reset on your billing date each month. Unused monthly credits do not roll over.
- Purchased credits come from a pay-as-you-go pack, never expire, and are only spent once the monthly ones are gone.
Plans and packs
| Plan | Price | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 200 a month |
| Starter | $49 a month | 5,000 a month |
| Standard | $99 a month | 15,000 a month |
Packs: 1,500 credits for $25, 5,000 for $75. They never expire and are spent after your monthly credits.
A check on all four engines costs 12 credits, so Free is about 16 four-engine checks a month, Starter about 416, Standard about 1,250.

What each call costs
| Call | Credits |
|---|---|
check_visibility | 3 per engine that answers, so 12 for all four |
suggest_prompts | 1 |
audit_page | 1 |
google_rank | 1 |
keyword_volume | 1 per 10 keywords, minimum 20 per call |
check_crawlers | Free |
history | Free |
GET /me | Free |
Keyword volume costs 1 credit per 10 keywords, with a minimum of 20 credits per call. So 1 to 200 keywords cost 20 credits, and 1,000 keywords cost 100. Send your keywords together in one call, not one at a time.
What is never charged
- An engine that times out is never charged.
- A call that returns an error costs nothing.
- Free calls never touch your balance.
Every response says what it cost in credits: { charged, remaining }. On a free call charged is 0 and remaining is null.
At zero credits
Out of credits → a 402 credits_exhausted error with a link to upgrade or buy a pack. The message says how many credits the call needs and how many you have:
credits_exhausted: This call needs 12 credits; you have 5. Your free plan gives 200 credits a month — upgrade or buy a pack at https://geondex.com/account.Nothing is queued and nothing is charged automatically.
