Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

Credit System Complexity

medium usage

Different actions consume different credit amounts: 1 credit per prompt analysis, 10 credits per AI-generated article, 10 credits per Brand Audit (plus 1 credit per citation page analyzed), and 5 credits per Lighthouse or competitor audit. A Starter user with 150 credits could generate only 15 articles or run 30 competitor audits per month, not both.

2

Credits Do Not Roll Over

low usage

Monthly credit allocations reset each billing cycle and unused credits expire. Users with uneven month-to-month usage patterns will lose unused credits, effectively increasing their per-credit cost in lighter months.

vendor

Credits reset monthly and don't roll over

3

Credit Top-Up Premium Pricing

low overage

One-time credit top-ups cost more per credit than the monthly allocation. Top-ups: 50 credits for $18 ($0.36/credit), 100 for $35 ($0.35/credit), 200 for $65 ($0.325/credit). Compare to Starter at $49 for 150 credits ($0.33/credit) or Pro at $89 for 500 credits ($0.178/credit). Heavy top-up users should consider upgrading plans instead.

Agent Mode Budget Caps

low addon

Each plan includes a limited Agent Mode budget ($5-15/month) for the AI assistant feature. Once the budget is exhausted, Agent Mode is unavailable until the next billing cycle. This is separate from credits and cannot be topped up independently.

Agent Mode Budget: $5/month (Starter), $10/month (Pro), $15/month (Agency)

5

Annual Billing Required for Best Pricing

low billing

Monthly billing costs 20-25% more than annual. Starter is $49/month vs $39.17/month annually ($118/year difference), Pro is $89/month vs $71.25/month annually ($213/year difference), Agency is $149/month vs $119.17/month annually ($358/year difference). Annual plans require upfront commitment.

Feature Gating Across Plans

medium upgrade

Email campaigns and white-label exports are only available on Pro ($89/month) and above. Team collaboration and priority support require the Agency plan ($149/month). Starter users who need any of these features must upgrade their entire plan rather than adding them individually.

vendor

Pro adds email campaigns and white-label exports. Agency adds team collaboration and priority support.
