Credits are the currency that powers AI Rankia. Almost every action — monitoring a prompt, running research, generating schema, creating content — uses a number of credits. Your plan includes a monthly credit allowance, and you can top up any time.
What uses credits
- Monitoring — each time a prompt runs across the AI engines you've chosen. Tracking more engines, or more often, uses more credits.
- Research & tools — on-demand actions like keyword research, audits and schema generation.
- Content & outreach — creating content and running certain Content, PR and Links actions.
Viewing your dashboards is free — you spend credits when you run an action that produces a result.
Where to see your balance
- Open Workspace ▸ Credits to see your remaining balance and recent usage.
- Review which actions used the most.
- Top up whenever you need more — extra credits are available any time.
Making credits go further
- Track your highest-value prompts first, and use weekly monitoring for the long tail.
- Select only the AI engines that matter for each prompt.
- Reuse research across brands in the same workspace — credits are shared.
Tip: Your monthly allowance refreshes each billing cycle. See Credits & Billing ▸ Plans and Pricing to compare allowances.
