Credits Explained

What Are Credits?

Credits are the currency of HCI Intel. Each intelligence report generation costs 1 credit. Everything else — viewing reports, exporting PDFs, adding to watchlist, using search — is free.

Checking Your Balance

Your credit balance is visible in two places:

  • Dashboard widget (top of your dashboard)
  • Billing page (detailed usage history)
  • Monthly Allocation

    Credits are included in your subscription plan:

  • Starter: 10 credits/month
  • Growth: 50 credits/month
  • Enterprise: Custom allocation
  • Unused credits do not roll over to the next month.

    Need More Credits?

    You can purchase add-on credit packs anytime from the Billing page. These are one-time purchases and do not expire.
