How credits work

Think of credits like API call tokens. Each plan comes with a monthly credit allowance that resets at the start of your billing period. Credits don’t carry over.

What costs what

Actions are grouped by type. As a general rule: the more data an action pulls or the more complex the write operation, the more it costs.

How to check your balance

Ask your AI client at any time:
What's my HireOtto credit balance?
This returns your current plan, credits used, credits remaining, and when your period resets.

What happens when you run out

Once your credits hit zero, actions that cost credits will stop working until your balance resets at the next billing cycle. Free and listing actions (0–1 credit) continue to work. If you’re hitting the limit regularly, that’s a sign you’ve outgrown your plan. Reach out at [email protected] to discuss options.

Tips for getting the most out of your credits

Use summary mode for quick checks, csv_only for bulk pulls.
  • Performance reports let you choose how results come back. If you’re scanning a handful of campaigns, summary (default) is fine.
  • If you’re pulling data for 50+ campaigns to drop into a spreadsheet, switch to csv_only — same credit cost, much cleaner output for downstream use.
Filter before you pull. Most report actions accept a campaign_id or adgroup_id filter. If you only care about one campaign’s keywords, pass the campaign ID — it limits what gets fetched and keeps response sizes manageable. Listing is cheap; reporting isn’t. list_campaigns costs 1 credit. get_campaign_performance costs 10. If you just need to see which campaigns exist (not their metrics), use the listing action.
