How credits work.

Every job in Propel has a set price in credits. Your plan adds credits each month. Before a big job it shows a quote, and nothing is spent until you say go. If a job reaches the top of its quote, it stops and asks.

Monthly credits start fresh each month and don't roll over.

What does a job cost?

Each kind of job has a set price: for example 25 credits for a short piece, 6 for a one-to-one message, 50 for a long piece. The full list is on the pricing page.

How do quotes work?

Before a bigger job, Propel shows what it should cost, as a range, and waits for your go-ahead. If the job reaches a quarter above the top of that range, it stops and asks you. Only you can let it spend more.

What happens when credits run out?

It stops before starting new work and tells you. Scheduled pieces wait, marked as waiting for credits, and carry on when your credits renew or you move to a plan with more. Failed work is never charged: a job that fails gives back the credits its steps used, and a web search or page read that fails isn't charged.

Questions about this guide

Do unused monthly credits roll over?

No. Monthly credits start fresh each month.

Can a job cost more than its quote?

Not without you. If it reaches a quarter above the top of its quote, it stops and asks, and only you can raise the limit.

Am I charged for work that fails?

No. Failed work is never charged. A job that fails gives back the credits its steps used, and a web search or page read that fails is not charged. A job that finishes and tells you about a problem counts as delivered.
