A credit is my unit of finished work.
Credits pay for finished work, like a shipped change or a new page. Each plan includes credits every month, and you can add more anytime. Your daily briefing is included, and you see an estimate before any chargeable work.
What costs credits
- A shipped change to your site
- 40
- A new page
- 150
Included in every plan
Your daily briefing, previews, reports, the calendar and timeline, and undoing a change. If a job fails, the credits go back.
A month on Self-managed
One new page (150 credits) and one shipped change (40 credits) use 190 of your 200 credits. Or five shipped changes use 200.
150 new page 40 change
Allowance and top-ups
Monthly credits reset at the start of each billing month. Top-ups never expire. I use your monthly credits first.
When you run out
Nothing is billed automatically. Free work keeps going. Work that costs credits waits, with an estimate, until you add a top-up or the month resets. Your site keeps running either way.
