Credits & AI Pricing
How credits work, what they cost, and how they're used across AI features.
Credits are the currency for AI-powered features in SerpWise. They're separate from your subscription plan — you purchase credit packages and spend them as you use AI features like meta generation and chat analysis.
Overview
- 1 credit ≈ $0.001 (one tenth of a cent)
- Credits are shared across all members of your organization
- Credits never expire — use them at your own pace
- Purchased as one-time packages (not recurring)
Credit Packages
| Package | Credits | Bonus | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 10,000 | — | $9.99 |
| Basic | 50,000 | +5,000 (10%) | $39.99 |
| Pro | 200,000 | +40,000 (20%) | $149.99 |
The Basic package is the best balance of value and volume for most teams. The Pro package offers the highest bonus at 20% extra credits.
How Credits Are Used
AI Meta Generation
Meta generation uses a flat rate of 2 credits per URL, regardless of page size:
- 1 credit — fetching and analyzing the page content
- 1 credit — AI generation of optimized title and description
Credits are pre-deducted when you confirm generation. If generation fails, credits are refunded automatically. See AI Meta Generation for the full workflow.
Edge Crawler
The Edge Crawler consumes 1 credit per page crawled and indexed. SEO audits, content analysis, link extraction, and change detection all run automatically during crawling at no extra cost.
Page Re-crawl
Re-crawling a single page from the URL Detail page costs 1 credit. On-demand re-audits (without re-crawling) are free.
Core Web Vitals
Each Core Web Vitals measurement via Google PageSpeed Insights costs 1 credit. Measurements are on-demand — you choose which pages to measure and when.
Chat & Analysis
Chat and analysis features consume credits based on the complexity of the task. Simple tasks use fewer credits, while advanced reasoning tasks use more.
| Tier | Best for | Typical cost per message |
|---|---|---|
| Quick | Simple summaries, short answers | 3–15 credits |
| Standard | Detailed analysis, content generation | 50–200 credits |
| Premium | Advanced reasoning, complex tasks | 200–800 credits |
Typical Costs
Here are some examples of what you can do with a credit package:
| Task | Approximate cost |
|---|---|
| Generate meta tags for 100 URLs | 200 credits |
| Quick content summary | 3–15 credits per message |
| Detailed SEO analysis | 50–200 credits per message |
| In-depth competitive research | 200–800 credits per message |
| Crawl 500 pages with Edge Crawler | 500 credits |
| Measure Core Web Vitals for 20 pages | 20 credits |
With the Basic package (55,000 credits including bonus), you could crawl 500 pages (500 credits), generate meta tags for 1,000 URLs (2,000 credits), measure Core Web Vitals on 50 pages (50 credits), and still have over 52,000 credits remaining for chat and analysis.
Credit Ledger
Every credit addition and deduction is recorded as an immutable transaction in the credit ledger. Your current balance is the sum of all transactions, giving you a full audit trail of credit usage across your organization. View your transaction history in Organization Settings → Credits.
Check your balance
You can view your remaining credit balance and full transaction history at any time from Organization Settings → Credits in the dashboard. Purchase additional packages from the same page when your balance runs low.
