Your account capacity comes from two different things: the plan, which you pay as a subscription, and credits, which you buy and spend. Read this page when a limit has run out, or when you need to support a study bigger than expected.

Plan or credits

The difference in one line: the plan is how much you can do on your subscription, credits are what you pay for only when you use it. The plan is a fixed limit, the same until you change it. Credits are a balance: they go down as you spend them and back up when you buy more. If you need more capacity permanently, change plan. If you need it once, buy credits.

The plan

Sets your account limits: how many responses you collect, how many campaigns you manage, which features you get and how many AI resources are included.

The credits

A balance you spend as you go, mainly on recruiting participants. You pay only for what you use, without changing subscription.
Credits don’t replace the plan: they add to it. The plan stays the baseline, credits cover what the plan doesn’t.

Available and reserved credits

The credit counter splits the balance in two.

Available

What you can commit to a new study right now.

Reserved

Credits already committed by campaigns in progress. They are yours, but spoken for: they cover the responses those campaigns are still collecting.
If a recruiting order looks unaffordable while the total balance seems fine, check the reserved share first.

Limits

Under the side menu, a Limits box shows how much of the plan you have consumed, with a bar for each limit: responses used out of the total, and active campaigns out of the total. Next to it, + Increase limits opens the plans page, where you compare all available options.
