Purchase credit packages from $5 (50 credits) to $100 (1300 credits) with auto-refill options and volume discounts.
NitroShock uses a credit-based pricing model that eliminates monthly subscriptions. You purchase credit packages ranging from $5 (50 credits) to $100 (1300 credits), with volume discounts on larger packages and optional auto-refill to ensure you never run out. Credits never expire, and you only pay for what you use.
This pay-per-use approach gives you complete control over your SEO budget. Whether you're managing a single project or running an agency with dozens of clients, you can scale your spending based on actual usage rather than fixed monthly fees.
NitroShock offers six credit packages designed to accommodate different usage levels, from individual site owners to large agencies managing multiple client projects.
Credit packages are structured with volume discounts - the more credits you purchase at once, the better the per-credit value:
Each package provides immediate access to all NitroShock features including rank tracking, keyword research, site audits, backlink analysis, AI content generation, and report creation.
Every action in NitroShock uses credits based on the computational resources and data required. Before you perform any credit-using action, you'll see the exact cost displayed in a confirmation modal. This transparency ensures you never encounter surprise charges.
Common credit-using actions include:
The system displays your current credit balance in the top navigation bar of your account dashboard, so you always know where you stand.
Credits in NitroShock never expire. This is a fundamental differentiator from subscription-based SEO tools where you lose access to features if you miss a payment or cancel your subscription.
You can purchase credits when you need them and use them at your own pace. This makes NitroShock particularly cost-effective for:
NitroShock's pricing structure is designed to provide better value as your usage increases, while maintaining accessibility for smaller users.
Larger credit packages include bonus credits that effectively reduce your per-credit cost. The Enterprise Package offers the best value with over 30% more credits compared to purchasing multiple smaller packages.
This tiered structure encourages you to purchase larger packages if you consistently use credits, but you're never forced into a higher tier - even the smallest package provides full feature access.
Traditional SEO platforms like SEMrush, Ahrefs, and Moz charge monthly subscription fees regardless of usage. These typically range from $99 to $999 per month, with limitations on:
NitroShock's credit model eliminates these artificial constraints. You can track unlimited keywords, run audits whenever needed, and generate unlimited reports - you simply use credits for each action.
For many users, especially those who don't need daily rank checks or continuous monitoring, this results in significant cost savings. You might spend $25-50 per month on credits instead of $99+ on a subscription you don't fully utilize.
Team accounts share a single credit pool across all team members. This means you purchase one set of credits that everyone can use, rather than paying per-user subscription fees.
For agencies managing multiple client projects, this creates substantial savings:
The Team tab in your account dashboard allows administrators to manage team members and monitor credit usage across the organization.
NitroShock accepts multiple payment methods to accommodate users worldwide, with secure processing through industry-standard payment providers.
You can purchase credits using:
All payment processing uses encrypted connections and PCI-compliant payment processors. NitroShock does not store your complete card details on our servers.
To purchase credits:
Your new credit balance appears instantly in the navigation bar and Billing dashboard. You'll also receive an email confirmation with purchase details and a receipt for your records.
The Billing tab maintains a complete history of all credit purchases, including:
This purchase history is useful for accounting purposes, expense reporting, and client billing if you're an agency passing SEO costs through to clients.
NitroShock processes payments in USD but accepts cards and payment methods from most countries. Your bank or card issuer will handle currency conversion if you're paying from outside the United States.
Some international cards may require verification or may be declined by fraud prevention systems. If you experience payment issues, contact your card issuer first to ensure international transactions are enabled.
Auto-refill ensures you never run out of credits in the middle of important SEO work. When enabled, NitroShock automatically purchases additional credits when your balance drops below a threshold you specify.
Auto-refill monitors your credit balance and triggers an automatic purchase when you reach your specified minimum threshold. You configure:
For example, you might set auto-refill to purchase the Standard Package (250 credits) whenever your balance drops below 25 credits. This ensures you always have sufficient credits for ongoing rank tracking and audits.
To set up auto-refill:
Auto-refill requires a saved payment method. You'll be prompted to add one during setup if you haven't already.
When auto-refill triggers a purchase, you'll receive:
These notifications help you track spending and ensure you're aware of all credit purchases, even automatic ones.
You can modify or disable auto-refill at any time:
Auto-refill settings are account-wide. For team accounts, only users with the Administrator role can configure auto-refill settings, ensuring proper financial controls.
Consider these recommendations when configuring auto-refill:
For agencies with variable client workloads, a higher threshold (50-100 credits) prevents mid-project interruptions when multiple team members are working simultaneously.
Can I get a refund for unused credits?
NitroShock credits are non-refundable once purchased. However, since credits never expire, you can use them at any time in the future. If you're unsure about usage, start with a smaller package and scale up as needed.
Do team members share credits or have separate balances?
Team accounts share a single credit pool. All team members draw from the same credit balance, making it easy to manage agency costs centrally. Only Administrator roles can purchase credits or modify billing settings.
What happens if I run out of credits during a task?
If your credit balance is insufficient for a requested action, you'll see a notification before the action begins. Simply add credits through the Billing tab, then retry the action. Partially completed tasks (like multi-keyword rank checks) will resume where they left off.
Can I purchase credits for someone else or as a gift?
Credit purchases are tied to specific NitroShock accounts and cannot be transferred between accounts. If you're an agency managing client work, purchase credits under your agency account and include the cost in your client billing.
How do I know how many credits each action will use?
Before confirming any credit-using action, NitroShock displays the exact credit cost in a confirmation modal. This "confirm before charging" approach ensures complete transparency. You can also see typical credit costs for common actions in the feature documentation.
