A credit is used only when we deliver at least one record. Metadata-only records count as delivered.
Research projects, saved filters and reference exports are not included in either package.
Pro renews at $7.99 each month until you cancel renewal in Billing. Each successful payment adds 1,000 credits for that billing period; unused credits expire at its end and do not roll over. There are no automatic top-ups or overage charges. Canceling renewal keeps your current-period credits available until the displayed end date.
Get 1 free credit when you sign up. Never expires. There is no daily refresh and searching needs an account. If you buy a Research Pass or Pro, its credits are used first and your signup credit is kept.
A new result page or an additional standard detail request uses one credit when useful data is delivered. Expanding loaded text, local filtering, errors, empty results, and automatic retries do not use extra credits. Context actions show their credit cost before running.
No. Free and paid plans search the same public content. A paid plan adds more searches; it does not unlock deleted posts, a historical archive, or deeper coverage.
Research Pass is a one-time payment and does not renew. You can buy it again; each purchase adds 200 credits valid for its own seven days without resetting your existing credits. Pro renews at $7.99 each month until you cancel renewal from Billing. You keep paid-period credits until the period ends; unused credits do not roll over.
If a purchase could not be delivered — for example credits did not arrive or the service was unavailable — email support@redditarchive.org and we will refund it. Prices are in USD; applicable taxes are shown at checkout.
