Credits & Actions
The Store Optimizer uses a credit-based system for AI-powered actions. Manual edits and saves are always free. Only AI generation actions consume credits. This ensures you only pay for value generated.
Action Costs
| Action | Credit Cost | Description |
|---|---|---|
| AI Alt Text (per image) | 50 credits | Generate optimized alt text for a single product image. |
| AI Keyword Cluster | 50 credits | Generate 8-12 related keywords for your product. |
| AI Snippet (GEO) | 50 credits | Generate all 5 AI snippet fields (summary, best for, benefits, features, use cases). |
| AI Description | 50 credits | Generate an optimized HTML product description covering 7 pillars. |
| Optimize Listing (full) | 200 credits | Generate and apply ALL content at once: meta, description, alt text, AI snippet, schema. |
| Manual Save | Free | Save your own edits to the store. No credits charged. |
| Sync Products | Free | Fetch products from your store and calculate scores. |
| View Scores & Issues | Free | Browse scores, issue analysis, and preview snippets. |
4 individual actions = 1 full optimization
Each individual AI action costs 50 credits. Four individual actions (4 x 50 = 200) equal the cost of one full Optimize Listing (200 credits). This means you can't avoid consuming your product limit by only using individual actions. If you need to optimize everything, use Optimize Listing for the best value.
Per-Plan Credit Allocations
| Plan | seoAction Credits | seoOptimize Credits | Product Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Launch | 5,000 | 5,000 | 25 products / cycle |
| Scale | 12,000 | 12,000 | 100 products / cycle |
| Dominate | 25,000 | 25,000 | 250 products / cycle |
The product limit counts distinct products fully optimized per billing cycle. Re-optimizing the same product (after edits) does not count against the limit again. The limit resets with the monthly credit reset.
Fair-Use Limits
To keep the service fast and fair for everyone, the Store Optimizer applies usage limits on AI actions. If you hit a limit, wait a short while and try again - the exact limits are not published and may be adjusted over time. Credits are only deducted when an AI action succeeds; a failed generation is automatically refunded.
Activity Logging
Every action you take in the Store Optimizer is recorded in your activity log - the action type, the product it applied to, and the credits used - so you always have a clear audit trail of where credits went.
Credit refunds
If an AI action fails for any reason (AI service down, network error, invalid response), your credits are automatically refunded. You will see a toast notification confirming the refund. The activity log records both the consumption and the refund.
Trial accounts
Trial accounts have 0 credits for AI actions. You can still view scores, issue analysis, and preview snippets for free, but AI generation and full optimization require an active paid subscription.
