What happened to "pay-as-you-go" pricing?

What is a credit?
A credit in Local Falcon is defined as one data point, often referred to as a "map pin," used on the geo-grid during a scan. To put it simply, if you conduct a 5x5 grid scan, this grid will utilize 25 credits from your account, as each point on the grid represents one credit.
How many Local Falcon credits will I need?
There are six variables to keep in-mind when planning your credit usage:
+ Grid size (for example, a 9x9 grid is 81 credits).
+ Number of keywords you plan to scan (the average user typically starts scanning about 10 keywords).
+ Number of locations / listings you want to scan (keep in-mind you may also want to schedule dedicated scans for your competitor's locations as well).
+ Whether or not you would like to use Falcon AI for scan report analysis and recommendations (the average user adds Falcon AI on their listing scans, but not on competitors; also keep in-mind these are just 25 credits per report).
+ The platforms you plan to track your rank on (Google and Apple).
+ The frequency of how often you want to run your scans (we recommend either weekly, or bi-weekly to get a good trend analysis).
Once you've determined what makes the most sense, take a look at the packages, above. Keep in-mind you may want to leave some extra room for experiments and one-off scans as well :)
Another helpful tool for keeping an eye on credits as you schedule Campaigns and Scheduled Scans, is Local Falcon's Credit Explorer; a usage estimator that is available in your account.
