Billing
How to Purchase Additional Credits
✓ Quick Answer
Go to Account Settings > Billing tab and click Purchase Credits. Choose the number of credits or dollar amount, and the purchase is charged to your card on file. You can also set up Auto Top-Up to automatically buy credits when your balance gets low.
How to Purchase Additional Credits
Need more credits beyond your monthly allocation? You can purchase additional credits that roll over month to month (they never expire while you keep your plan) and are used after your current cycle's credits run out.
Purchasing Credits on the Dashboard
- Log in to your SMB Sales Boost account
- Go to Account Settings by clicking your profile icon
- Navigate to the Billing tab
- Click Purchase Credits
- Enter the amount - choose by credit count (minimum 100) or dollar amount (minimum $1)
- Confirm purchase - the charge goes to your card on file through Stripe
Purchasing Credits via API
Use the API to buy credits programmatically:
POST /api/v1/purchase-credits
{
"creditCount": 500
}
Or specify a dollar amount:
POST /api/v1/purchase-credits
{
"dollarAmount": 50
}
Pricing by Plan
| Plan | Per-Credit Price | Max per Purchase |
|---|---|---|
| Starter ($49/mo) | $0.10 | 2,500 credits |
| Growth ($149/mo) | $0.075 | 10,000 credits |
| Scale ($499/mo) | $0.05 | 50,000 credits |
| Platinum ($1,999/mo) | $0.03 | 500,000 credits |
| Enterprise ($4,999/mo) | $0.02 | 1,250,000 credits |
The maximum per purchase is 5x your plan's monthly credit allocation.
Setting Up Auto Top-Up
Never run out of credits with automatic replenishment:
- Go to Account Settings > Billing tab
- Enable Auto Top-Up
- Set a trigger threshold - e.g., "Buy more when your credit balance falls below 200"
- Set purchase amount - e.g., "Buy 500 credits each time"
- Set a monthly cap (optional) - e.g., "Do not spend more than $100/month on auto top-up"
You can also configure Auto Top-Up via the API:
PATCH /api/v1/auto-top-up
{
"enabled": true,
"triggerType": "credits",
"triggerAmount": 200,
"purchaseType": "credits",
"purchaseAmount": 500,
"capType": "dollars",
"capAmount": 100
}
Setting Up an Overage Budget
Want to keep working past a zero balance without pre-buying credits? The opt-in Overage Budget lets lead usage continue after your credit balance hits zero, up to a per-cycle limit you set in dollars (the default) or credits. The limit resets each billing cycle, and the maximum is 5x your plan's monthly credit allocation. Enable or disable it anytime from the Overage Budget card in Account Settings > Billing tab, or via the API:
PATCH /api/v1/overage-budget
{
"enabled": true,
"budgetType": "dollars",
"budgetAmount": 50
}
How it works:
- Billed once per day - overage usage is charged to your card on file at your plan's overage rate (use $20 of overage today, get charged $20 that night)
- Suspended on failure - if a daily charge fails, overage usage pauses (your regular credits keep working) and the charge retries daily; after 5 failed attempts the feature is disabled automatically
Important Notes
- Purchased credits roll over month to month and never expire while you keep your plan
- Purchased credits are used after your current cycle's credits are exhausted
- Purchases are charged to the card on file through Stripe
- 30-day money-back guarantee applies to Starter, Growth, and Scale plans
