Credit system

How credits are priced, held, and refunded across every module.

How credits work

  • Every module has a per-lookup cost visible on its /lookup page.
  • Credits are held atomically on submit — you can never over-spend.
  • If the upstream provider returns an error, the hold is refunded automatically.
  • Not-found is a valid answer and is charged — the provider did the work.

Buying credits

Credits are purchased through Razorpay in INR. Payments are reconciled by webhook, and a recovery path re-queries Razorpay directly if the webhook is delayed so credits always land.

Free mode

Admins can enable Free Mode for a fixed window. During Free Mode, lookups still show their nominal cost but are debited at zero. Your history log records the free credit as such.

Subscriptions

Monthly plans grant a fixed credit allotment each billing cycle. Unused credits do not roll over. Cancelling stops the next renewal and preserves the current cycle.
