💳 Credits Overview
How credits work and how they are used in Droplink
Credits are the way Droplink measures how much data you can use each month.
They are not money and they are not a fee per action — credits simply define how many searches, analyses, and insights you can run.
You’ll find a full overview of your credits in the Credits section of your account.
🧠 What credits are (simple explanation)
Think of credits like usage points.
Every time Droplink needs to:
fetch fresh data
analyze products, ads, or shops
run AI-powered searches
credits are consumed.
This allows us to:
keep the platform fast
ensure fair usage
offer different plans based on intensity
No hidden costs. No surprises.

⚙️ What actions use credits?
Credits are only used when Droplink performs real data queries.
Typical actions that consume credits include:
Searching or filtering products
Running AI-powered searches
Searching ads in the Ad Library
Analyzing Shopify stores in the Shop Tracker
Simple navigation or browsing inside the app does not consume credits.

🔄 Monthly credits & reset
Your monthly credit amount depends on your plan.
Plan credits reset automatically at the start of each billing period
You always start the new month with a fresh credit balance
Unused plan credits do not carry over
If you upgrade your plan, your available credits update accordingly.
🚨 What credits are not
To avoid confusion:
Credits are not currency
Credits are not charged to your card
Credits are not deducted for fulfillment or orders
They only control data usage, nothing else.
