How credits work

The unit

One credit = one rendered row, whatever the format. A 1,431-row batch costs 1,431 credits.

Free previews

The first three rows of a batch render free so you can see real output before paying. Up to 200 free preview renders per account per day.

The quote

Before any batch you see (or request, via the API) a quote: rows, credits needed, your balance, the output size. Quoting has no side effects.

Short on credits

The batch is refused with the exact numbers: credits needed, your balance, how many rows you could render now, and the top-up that covers the rest. Two ways forward: render the affordable rows, or top up and submit unchanged.
