Frequently asked questions
What is a credit?
Credits are CiteGenie's usage unit for AI features. Each run of the Citation Checker, Find Source, or Writing Assistant costs a small number of credits based on the length of your input and the search tools used. The Citation Generator is always free.
How do free credits work?
You get 20 credits the moment you sign up. After that, each day you log in we top your balance up to 3 free credits. Daily free credits do not accumulate — if you don't use them, tomorrow's login simply keeps you at 3 rather than stacking to 6.
Do my signup credits expire?
No. The 20 credits granted on sign-up never expire and are yours to spend whenever you like.
Are there paid plans?
Yes — you can top up with a one-time credit pack anytime. Credits never expire, and there's no subscription. Pick the pack that fits your workload; bigger packs cost less per credit.
