Credits and billing
One credit is $0.0001 of data-vendor cost. A lookup holds its most likely ceiling before it runs and is charged what the vendor actually billed, never more. Plan credits expire monthly; bought credits never expire.
Credits pay for the work netweft buys on your behalf: search data, results pages, backlink lists, crawled pages and AI model calls. Every workspace shares one balance.
What a credit is
One credit is $0.0001 of the data vendor’s cost, so 10,000 credits are $1.00 of vendor spend. A lookup is charged what the vendor billed for it, converted at that rate.
What each operation costs
| Operation | Credits | Per |
|---|---|---|
| Rank check | 20 | page of 10 results, per keyword, per device (40 at the default depth of 20) |
| Keyword volume | 1.2 plus 120 per request | keyword |
| Keyword ideas | up to 360 | request of up to 200 ideas |
| Domain overview | 362 | request |
| Ranked keywords, Top pages, Domain keyword ideas | up to 360 | page of up to 200 rows |
| Backlink summary | 241 | request |
| Backlinks, Referring domains, Top linked pages | up to 312 | page of up to 200 rows |
| AI brand visibility | 2,150 | check, one assistant |
| Keyword data in the 49 countries without full data | 900 | request, whatever the keyword count |
| Page crawled | 1 | crawled page |
| Lighthouse check | 50 | measured page, opt-in |
| Assistant reply | up to 223 | question |
| AI context draft | up to 12 | draft |
| Onboarding strategist | up to 256 | turn |
The same lookup with the same settings within 24 hours answers from a stored copy and costs nothing. Keyword metrics, results pages, audits and AI calls are never served from a stored copy.
How a charge works
- Hold. Before a paid lookup runs, netweft holds its price from the rate card above. If the balance cannot cover the hold, the lookup is refused and nothing is bought.
- Run. netweft asks the vendor.
- Settle. The vendor reports what it billed. The workspace is charged that amount, rounded up to a whole credit, and the rest of the hold is released.
The hold is the ceiling: a charge never exceeds it. A list priced “up to” a figure is held at its 200-row ceiling, so a page of 50 rows settles for less. Rank checks and audits hold their whole run up front and settle when they finish; a run that runs out of credits partway pauses and carries on after a top-up.
Which credits are spent first
| Pool | Where it comes from | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| Trial credits | the plan’s free trial | with the trial |
| Plan credits | each month of the plan | at the end of that month |
| Bought credits | top-ups | never |
Credits that expire are spent first, soonest expiry first, so bought credits always go last. Billing, then Credits, shows the balance, a daily chart of where credits went, and every settled charge with the lookup that made it.
Top-ups
Owners and admins buy credits at 2,500 credits per dollar, from $10 to $10,000 at a time. Top-ups are allowed during a trial.
Auto top-up
Auto top-up charges the card on file when the balance falls low, so a scheduled rank check is not interrupted. It is on by default once the trial ends, with these settings:
| Setting | Default |
|---|---|
| Reload amount | $20 |
| Fires below | 10% of the plan’s monthly credits |
| Most it can charge in a day | $60 |
| Most charges in a day | 3 |
Owners and admins change or switch it off under Credits. A declined card is retried once; after a second decline auto top-up stops until an owner or admin turns it back on.
Rate limits
Paid requests are limited to 60 a minute per workspace, and 10 a minute during a trial. See Plans and trials for prices, limits and plan changes.
