Understanding Credits

OneClickSEO uses a single credit balance instead of separate tool subscriptions. Every paid action deducts credits from your wallet, so you only pay for the work you actually do.

Your credit wallet

  • Monthly quota - credits granted by your plan, which reset each billing cycle.
  • Top-up balance - pay-as-you-go credits you buy in packs; these don't expire at reset.
  • Balance - your total spendable credits across both.

You can see your balance and a full, itemized usage journal under Billing in the dashboard, filterable by project, date, and operation.

What each action costs

Costs are predictable and shown before you confirm a paid action:

  • Keyword Research job - 5 credits.
  • SERP Analysis - 1 credit per keyword.
  • Rank check - depth-aware: 1 credit for Top-10 up to 10 credits for Top-100, per keyword.
  • AI Visibility check - 4 credits per prompt (covers all selected engines).
  • Site Audit - free on every plan; audits never consume credits.
  • Backlink gap campaign - variable, based on competitors and prospect depth.
Failed tasks refund automatically

If a task fails, the credits are returned to your wallet - you're never charged for work that didn't complete.

Running low? Add a top-up

If you need more credits before your monthly reset, buy a top-up pack from the Billing page. Top-up credits stack on top of your monthly quota and carry over. To raise your monthly allowance instead, see Plans & pricing.
