Choosing between monthly and annual does more than change the price. It changes how your credits are allocated, which matters more for planning.
Monthly
You get your plan's credit allowance fresh every month. At the end of the billing period the included credits you have not used expire and the counter starts again.
A good fit when your usage is steady across the year.
Annual
You get one allowance for the whole annual term at once. It sits in a single pot you draw from at your own pace. A heavy month eats into later months; a quiet month saves for them.
| Plan | Credits monthly | Credits in the annual allowance |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | 500 per month | 6,000 for the year |
| Premium | 2,000 per month | 24,000 for the year |
| Enterprise | 5,000 per month | 60,000 for the year |
A good fit when your usage varies, for example across campaigns or seasonal projects.
What this means for planning
- Monthly: what you do not use this month is gone. Spread larger enrichments across the month.
- Annual: you can pull forward but not top up from the future. Watch consumption under Account → Credit usage so the allowance lasts the full term.
Either way, purchased credits from top-ups are separate and follow their own expiry date. See Read your credit balance.
Switching
The billing period is chosen when you buy or change plans, at the top of the purchase page. See Buy or change your plan.
