How LinkDeal credits work

LinkDeal uses a credit system to meter usage. Credits are included with your subscription and can be topped up if needed.

Credit costs by action

No charge on zero results

Important: credits are only deducted when data is found and stored. If a search returns zero results, no credits are charged.

This protects you from wasting credits on unsuccessful searches.

Monthly allocations

Each plan includes a monthly credit allocation:

Credits reset on your billing date each month. Unused credits do not roll over.

Credit usage examples

Light usage (Starter plan, 200 credits):

• 20 Post Engagement searches (100 credits)
• 5 contact enrichments (75 credits)
• 5 recent posts unlocks (25 credits)

Medium usage (Growth plan, 600 credits):

• 40 Post Engagement searches (200 credits)
• 20 contact enrichments (300 credits)
• 20 recent posts unlocks (100 credits)

Heavy usage (Pro plan, 1500 credits):

• 100 Post Engagement searches (500 credits)
• 50 contact enrichments (750 credits)
• 50 recent posts unlocks (250 credits)

Tracking your usage

Your current credit balance is always visible in the dashboard header. The History page shows credit usage for each search.

Running low on credits

If you run out of credits before your billing date:

1. Top up: Buy additional credits at the PAYG rate (£11.50/100 credits)
2. Upgrade: Move to a higher plan for more monthly credits
3. Wait: Credits reset on your next billing date

Credits and cancellation

If you cancel your subscription:

• You keep access until the end of your billing period
• Remaining credits can be used until then
• Credits expire when your subscription ends

Credits and trial

Trial accounts receive 50 credits. When your trial converts to a paid plan, you receive your plan's full allocation regardless of how many trial credits remain.
