Top-ups let you buy extra credits on top of what your plan includes. They are a one-time purchase, not a subscription charge. If you are running a large scrape project, expect a spike in usage, or just want a buffer, a top-up is the quickest way to add capacity without changing your plan. Spidra credit top-up packages and pricing table You can buy a top-up from the [Billing page](https://app.spidra.io/dashboard/billing) in your dashboard. Click the package you want, complete the Stripe checkout, and the credits are added to your account immediately. ## How Top-up Credits Work Top-up credits are separate from your monthly plan credits. When you run a scrape, Spidra always draws from your monthly credits first. Top-up credits only kick in when your monthly balance hits zero. This means a top-up does not replace your plan. It acts as a reserve that covers any usage that goes beyond your monthly allowance. Top-ups are only available on Starter, Builder, and Pro plans. Free plan users need to upgrade to a paid plan before they can purchase additional credits. ## Credit Expiry Top-up credits expire 12 months after the date of purchase. Spidra sends you two email reminders before your credits expire: * A reminder 30 days before the expiry date. * A second reminder 7 days before the expiry date. If you have not used the credits by the expiry date, they are removed from your account automatically. Top-up credits are non-refundable once purchased. Make sure you will use them within 12 months before buying a large package. ## Carrying Forward Credits When your billing cycle renews, any remaining top-up credits carry forward to the new cycle. The monthly reset only affects your plan's included credits, not top-ups. So if you buy a 1,200-credit top-up and only use 200 of them this month, 1,000 credits will still be in your account when the next cycle starts (assuming they have not expired). A plan upgrade makes more sense if you are consistently hitting your monthly credit limit.
