Topping up your credits
Learn how to buy additional credits with PAYG top-ups when you need more than your monthly allocation.
Last updated: 8 August 2026
If you run out of credits before your next billing date, you can top up with pay-as-you-go (PAYG) credits.
PAYG pricing
£11.50 per 100 credits
This is slightly higher than the per-credit cost on subscription plans, so topping up occasionally is fine, but if you consistently need more credits, upgrading your plan is more cost-effective.
How to top up
- Go to the Billing page from the main navigation
- Click Top Up Credits
- Select the amount (100, 200, 500 credits)
- Confirm payment
Credits are added to your balance immediately.
When to top up vs upgrade
Top up when:
- You have an unusual spike in usage this month
- You are a few days from your billing reset
- You need credits for a one-time campaign
Upgrade when:
- You consistently run out of credits
- Your monthly usage exceeds your plan allocation
- Top-up costs approach the next plan price
Example: If you are on Starter (£19/200 credits) and regularly top up £23 (200 credits), you are paying £42 for 400 credits. Growth (£49/600 credits) would be better value.
PAYG credits and subscriptions
- PAYG credits are added to your existing balance
- They are used alongside your subscription credits
- PAYG credits do not roll over they expire when your subscription ends
Checking your balance
Your credit balance is always visible in the dashboard header. The Billing page shows a breakdown of subscription vs PAYG credits.
