Billing & Credits
BestSEOArticles uses a simple credit system. Each outline or article costs 1 credit.
How Credits Work
- 1 outline = 1 credit — Competitor analysis (Step 1) is free; you only pay when generating the outline in Step 2
- 1 article = 1 credit — Includes AI-generated images at no extra cost
- Editing is free — Edit outlines and articles as much as you want
- Exports are free — Download in any format without spending credits
- Policy generation is free — AI-generated editorial policies don't cost credits
Plans
| Plan | Monthly | Yearly (per month) | Credits/month | Projects |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $19 | $15 | 5 | 1 |
| Growth | $49 | $39 | 15 | 3 |
| Pro | $79 | $63 | 30 | 10 |
Top-Up Packs
Need more credits mid-month? Purchase one-time top-up packs:
- 10 credits — $29 (one-time)
- 25 credits — $59 (one-time)
Top-up credits are used first before your monthly plan credits. They never expire.
What Happens When Credits Run Out
When you have 0 credits remaining:
- You can still view and edit existing outlines and articles
- You can still export content in any format
- You cannot generate new outlines or articles until credits are replenished
- Credits reset at the start of each billing cycle
