Earn free credits

There are three ways to add credits without paying: the daily free allowance, the Unlock Pro Plan checklist, and referrals.

The daily allowance#

Every Free account gets 20 credits a day, refreshed daily — enough for roughly 3 screens. An empty balance comes back tomorrow, so a slow week costs nothing. See Plans and limits.

Unlock Pro Plan — four steps#

In the editor, click Upgrade for free. The panel tracks your progress through four steps, and completing all four unlocks 3 days of Pro Plan free. Each step also pays credits on its own:

A few things worth knowing:

• Each step pays once. You cannot claim the same step twice.
• A review counts wherever you left it. Capterra replaced Trustpilot as the review step; if you reviewed us on Trustpilot before that switch, it still counts and you will not be asked again.
• The testimonial pays more with video — 12 credits for text, 24 more if you record a short video.

Verification is manual#

Credits are not granted the instant you submit. Someone checks the review, post or testimonial is real, and you get an email when it lands. That is deliberate — it is what keeps the reward worth offering — so give it a little time rather than submitting twice.

Referrals#

Referring someone pays 250 credits (about $10 worth) to both of you when they first upgrade to a paid plan, for up to five referrals. That is by far the largest single source of free credits. See Refer and earn.

Making credits last#

Earning more is only half of it. A targeted edit costs 0.2 credits where regenerating a screen costs 6, so the habits in How credits work stretch a balance further than any of these steps will fill it.
