Trying to plan around the Free plan's 50 monthly credits before I decide whether to jump to Starter. Does every tool cost the same, or do the heavier tools (full site audit, domain overview) cost more per run? And do the AI Visibility tools count separately?
Just want to budget my month so I don't run dry on day three. A rough cheat sheet would be amazing.
Every paid tool is metered, and heavier tools cost more because they pull more data. Lightweight lookups (a single keyword, a SERP check) are cheap; a full /full-site-audit or /tools/domain-overview run costs more because it fans out across many DataForSEO calls and a Claude analysis pass.
The honest answer: each tool shows its credit cost on the run button before you confirm, so you never spend blind. On Free's 50 credits you can comfortably do a couple of full audits plus a bunch of smaller lookups per month. If you find yourself running audits weekly across multiple sites, that's the signal to look at Starter ($9) or Pro ($29).
Perfect, the per-run cost showing before I confirm is exactly the reassurance I wanted. Staying on Free for now, thanks.
