How PocketAuthor-style credits work.
Credit-based access may be used for metered features such as AI-assisted drafting, editing, or manuscript processing. Actual credit packages and deduction rates are determined by the product and must be disclosed at checkout and in the application before purchase.
①
Choose an offer
See the number of credits included, total price and currency, and whether it is a one-time purchase or subscription before paying.
②
Use software features
See the credits required by an action before confirming and track the remaining balance in the app.
③
Understand the rules
Expiry, renewals, unused credits, refunds, and limits should be explained clearly in the product's current terms.
Proposed design: credits are nontransferable, cannot be redeemed for cash, and are used only for features provided by the issuing software business. These rules are not an offer to sell credits on this site. Read the credit disclosure checklist before purchasing credits from any product.
