AI credits are the currency that powers Localith's AI features. Every AI-driven action, from generating review replies to running SEO audits, consumes credits from your account balance.
What are AI credits
You get 100 free AI credits initially when you start the trial. They do not auto add with the monthly subscription. Credits are consumed when you use AI-powered features like review reply generation, SEO optimization reports, local search grid scans, and AI post generation. Non-AI features like editing business info, publishing manual posts, or viewing analytics do not consume credits.
Which actions consume credits
| Action | Credits |
|---|---|
| AI review reply generation | 1 credit per reply |
| Per-listing audit regeneration | 1 credit |
| Full listings audit report | 15 credits |
| Local search grid re-run | 10 credits |
| AI optimization report regeneration | 5 credits |
| AI post generation | 1 credit per post |
| Brainstorm with AI | 1 credit per session |
Credit costs may vary by plan. Check your current balance in Account > AI Credits.
Auto top-up
To prevent automations from stopping when credits run out, enable Auto top-up:
- Go to Account > AI Credits.
- Enable the Auto top-up toggle.
- Set a threshold. When your balance drops below this number, credits are automatically purchased.
- Set the top-up amount, which is how many credits to add each time.
Auto top-up charges your payment method on file automatically.
What happens when credits run out
When your credit balance reaches zero:
- AI-powered automations (like auto-reply to reviews) pause until credits are available
- Manual AI features show a prompt to purchase more credits
- Non-AI features continue to work normally
- No data is lost. Automations resume once credits are topped up
Free trial
New accounts start with a 7-day free trial that includes 100 AI credits. After the trial ends, you can choose a paid plan to continue using AI features. If you do not subscribe, AI features become unavailable.
Common questions
Do unused credits roll over?
Yes. Unused AI credits stay in your account and carry forward, so they do not expire or reset at the end of the billing cycle.
Can I buy extra credits without upgrading my plan?
Yes. You can purchase additional credit packs from the AI Credits section in your account settings.
Where can I see my credit usage history?
Go to Account > AI Credits to view your current balance, usage history, and top-up settings.
