Rankmio Credits

Also known as: Credits, Credit system, Feature credits

Rankmio Credits are the consumption units used to bill chargeable actions — AI content generation, bulk pulls, citation tracking runs, premium audit functions. Every feature has a defined credit price that is deducted from the account balance when it is executed. This enables usage-based pricing that scales fairly: those who use little pay little, and those who use a great deal have clear cost transparency for each action.

What credits are used for

Where the current prices are listed

The complete price list for each feature is held centrally at /credits#feature-prices. All other places in the system (FAQ, manual, feature pages, insights) deliberately avoid quoting specific credit values — this prevents inconsistencies when prices are adjusted and concentrates the price list in a single source of truth. Within the interface itself, credit costs are shown directly on the action button (”Start bulk pull — 4 Cr”), so that users have clarity before every action.

Credits handled dynamically in the code

On the code side, all credit values are retrieved via CreditService::getCost($key) — a single source of truth with an admin override for each feature. Hardcoded credit figures in views, language files or templates are explicitly forbidden in Rankmio (user instruction), so that price adjustments take effect globally without a code bug.

Example from practice

Example: An agency looks after 8 client projects. For each client the following runs weekly: 1 Discovery Bundle XL, 1 citation tracking run (24 phrases × 5 engines × 3 repetitions = 360 calls), 1 site audit, and around 3 content briefs with article generation. Over a month this produces a clear credit consumption figure that is reported per client and can be passed on in the agency's invoice. Clear cost accounting per client — no flat fee, but real consumption data.

Frequently asked questions

What are Rankmio Credits?
Rankmio Credits are the internal billing unit for pay-per-use features. Instead of a monthly flat rate, you pay for each action you actually use — citation check, discovery bundle, AI content generation, position tracking.
How do you buy credits?
Via /credits with tiered packages. Larger packages offer better credit-per-euro rates. Credits do not expire — once bought, they remain usable. Payment by PayPal, credit card or SEPA.
What does each action cost?
The price list is at /credits#feature-prices. For example: a single citation check costs a few credits, while Discovery Bundle XL costs considerably more. Every action displays its credit cost before it is triggered — no hidden deductions.
Why credits instead of a subscription?
A fairer price structure. Those who use little pay little. Those who analyse a great deal get better scaling. No subscription lock-in. For occasional users it is considerably cheaper than classic SEO tools with a fixed monthly fee.
