Sitearc has two plans. Credits pay for outside data and heavy work. Reading what you already have never costs a credit. The pricing page has the full comparison.

A workspace is a separate brand or business. Most people need one, and every client is a website inside it.
What a credit is
One credit is $0.001. Pro includes 100,000 each month. They expire at the end of the billing period.
When you need more, buy a pack. Packs never expire. Plan credits are spent first.
- $50 buys 50,000 credits.
- $100 buys 100,000 credits.
- $200 buys 200,000 credits.
What uses credits
Each paid run shows its cost before it starts. Sitearc holds that many credits, then charges what the run actually used.

What never costs credits
- Reading saved data: reports, research you already ran, forms, feedback and history.
- Search Console and Analytics reports.
- Guests and their comments.
- Proposals, approvals and measuring what shipped.
When credits run out
Sitearc emails the owner at 80% and at 100% of the monthly allowance.
At zero, a paid run is refused before the provider is reached. Scheduled runs record a skip. Saved data still reads.
Auto top-up is off by default. Only the owner can turn it on, with a monthly cap. The cap starts at $200. If it is on, it runs before a refusal.
Billing
- Pro is billed monthly. There is no trial: Free is the trial.
- Cancel any time. Pro runs to the end of the period. Fees are not refunded, except where the law requires it.
- Only the owner buys seats. A seat is charged, prorated, when the invite is accepted.
