How the SocialMate Credit System Works

Credits, plans, and add-ons explained simply.

April 28, 2026 1 min read

What Are Credits?

Credits fuel AI tools — caption writing, content repurposing, hashtag suggestions, thread generation, and more. Each action costs a small number of credits.

How Many Credits Do I Get?

  • Free plan: 50 credits/month
  • Pro ($8/mo): 500 credits/month
  • Agency ($29/mo): 2,000 credits/month

    • Three Credit Pools

    Credits come from three sources that stack:

    1. **Monthly credits** — reset on the 1st of every month

    2. **Earned credits** — from referrals and milestones (never expire)

    3. **Purchased credits** — from one-time credit packs (never expire)

    Monthly credits are consumed first, then earned, then purchased.
