Understanding Credits vs Words

Everything you need to know about how your subscription usage is calculated.

Key Takeaways

  • 1 Credit = 1 Word processed.
  • Re-processing the same text costs new credits.
  • Unused credits roll over for 30 days.
  • The 'Check for AI' scan is free and does not use credits.

Our billing system is designed to be simple and transparent. We operate on a "Pay-per-word" basis, referred to as Credits.

What is a Credit?

One credit equals one word of input text.

If you paste a 500-word essay and click "Humanize", it will deduct 500 credits from your balance.

1:1Exchange Rate

One Credit equals One Input Word. No hidden fees.

Do credits expire?

  • Monthly Plans: Credits expire at the end of your billing cycle.
  • Credit Packs: Credits never expire.
  • Annual Plans: You get your entire year's allowance upfront.

Why do you stand by 'Word Count' instead of 'Requests'?

Other tools charge you per "request" (e.g., 50 requests per month). We find this unfair. A request could be 10 words or 10,000 words.

By charging per word, you only pay for exactly what you use. If you only need to fix a paragraph, you only pay for a paragraph.

Rollover Policy

We believe that if you paid for it, you should keep it.

If you are on the Pro Plan (20k words/mo) and you only use 10k words, the remaining 10k will roll over to the next month, up to a maximum of 2x your monthly limit.
