Credit Pricing Explained

Billing & Credits

ClickerVolt uses tiered pricing that gets cheaper as you use more during the same billing cycle. The first 500 events each month are completely free, and beyond that, pricing automatically decreases based on your volume.

Free Tier

Every billing cycle starts with 500 free events:

  • First 500 events per month are FREE

  • Includes both clicks and conversions

  • Resets at the start of each billing cycle

  • No credit card required to use the free tier

Example: If you have 450 events in a month, you pay nothing. If you have 1,200 events, only 700 are paid (1,200 - 500 free = 700 paid events).

Tiered Pricing Structure

After the free 500 events, you pay for events in packs of 1,000. The price per pack decreases as you use more:

Tier 1: Packs 1-10

  • Price: $1.70 per 1,000 events

  • Covers events 501-10,500

  • Best for: Low to moderate traffic (up to ~10k events/month)

Tier 2: Packs 11-50

  • Price: $0.40 per 1,000 events

How Billing Cycles Work

Important: Tiered pricing applies within a single billing cycle (one month).

  • Each month starts fresh with 500 free events

  • Pack purchases during the month move you through the tiers

  • Your tier position resets at the start of each new billing cycle

  • Previous month's tier does not carry over

Example: If you use 100,000 events in January (reaching Tier 4), you start February back at the free tier with 500 free events.

Advanced Topics

Credit Purchase vs Pay-As-You-Go

ClickerVolt charges automatically as you cross pack boundaries:

  • No need to pre-purchase credits

  • Credits deducted automatically every 1,000 paid events

  • Auto-reload ensures uninterrupted service

  • You can also manually purchase credits in advance

When you cross into a new pack (every 1,000 events after the free tier), the system automatically deducts the appropriate credit amount based on the current tier.

Calculating Your Expected Costs

To estimate your monthly costs:

  1. Estimate your monthly event volume (clicks + conversions)

  2. Subtract 500 (free tier)

  3. Divide by 1,000 to get number of packs

  4. Apply tier pricing based on pack numbers

  5. Sum the totals

Formula for events between 501-10,500: (events - 500) ÷ 1,000 × $1.70

Cost Optimization Tips

  • Use the free 500 events efficiently for testing
