How credits work

Sourcelane runs on a prepaid balance of credits in your account. Your agents, the API and connected apps such as ChatGPT and Claude all draw from the same balance.

What uses credit

• Each data source has a price per result, such as per profile, per post or per comment. A request is charged only for the results it returns.
• Requests that fail or return nothing are not charged.
• Setting a limit on results (in an assistant, you can just ask for fewer) keeps each request small.
• Prices are the same everywhere: there is no extra charge for using Sourcelane through an assistant.

When credit runs out

Requests that need credit stop until the account has credit again. Nothing else changes: your connected apps, settings and history stay as they are. Credit is added from your Sourcelane account on the Sourcelane website, not from inside an assistant.

Limits and control

• Every connected app gets its own per-request, daily and monthly spend limits, which you can change at any time.
• You can pause or disconnect an app instantly, and every request it made is listed in your account.

About credits
