How Credits Work

Last updated on Jul 09, 2026

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

  1. Open Workspace ▸ Credits to see your remaining balance and recent usage.
  2. Review which actions used the most.
  3. 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.
