**Understand how credits work for unlocking emails and exporting channel data.**

ChannelCrawler uses a single credit system for both email unlocks and CSV downloads. Whether you're unlocking influencer email addresses or exporting channel lists, all credits come from the same pool.

## How Do Credits Work?
Credits can be used for two main actions:

1. **Unlocking Emails:** 1 credit unlocks 1 influencer email address.
2. **Downloading Channel Data:** The number of credits depends on the type of export:

  - **Basic Channel information:** 0.1 credits per channel
  - **Email Addresses:** 1 credit per channel

**Tip:** If you're building a channel list without contact info, exporting basic data uses fewer credits.

## How Many Credits Do You Get?
Credits are included with your subscription and reset every month:

- **Starter Plan:** 50 credits per month
- **Power Plan:** 250 credits per month

If you run out, you can buy more credits anytime. The more you buy, the lower the cost per credit.

## Do Credits Expire?
- **Monthly Credits:** Reset automatically every month with your subscription.
- **Purchased Credits:** Never expire, you can use them whenever you need.

---

## Where to Check Your Credit Balance
You can see your remaining credits by:

1. Visiting your **Account Dashboard**.
2. Checking the **Export Page** when downloading data.

## What Happens if I Run Out of Credits?
- You won't be able to unlock emails or download data until you purchase more credits.
- Click **Purchase Credits** during an export to top up instantly, or purchase more from your account dashboard.
