Credits are how pentests are paid for. Every scan you run spends credits from your organization's balance. Credits do not expire and they are not reset on a schedule, so whatever you have stays available until you use it.

## The basics

* One balance per organization. Everyone on the team draws from the same pool.

* You are only charged for scans you run. There is no monthly fee and no expiry.
