AI credits are the currency that powers Localith's AI features. Every AI-driven action — from generating review replies to running SEO audits — consumes credits from your account balance.
What are AI credits
Each Localith plan includes a monthly allocation of AI credits. Credits are consumed when you use AI-powered features like review reply generation, SEO optimization reports, local search grid scans, and AI post generation. Non-AI features like editing business info, publishing manual posts, or viewing analytics do not consume credits.
Which actions consume credits
| Action | Credits |
|---|---|
| AI review reply generation | 1 credit per reply |
| Per-listing audit regeneration | 1 credit |
| Full listings audit report | 15 credits |
| Local search grid re-run | 10 credits |
| AI optimization report regeneration | Varies |
| AI post generation | 1 credit per post |
| Brainstorm with AI | 1 credit per session |
Credit costs may vary by plan. Check your current balance in Account > AI Credits.
Auto top-up
To prevent automations from stopping when credits run out, enable Auto top-up:
- Go to Account > AI Credits.
- Enable the Auto top-up toggle.
- Set a threshold — when your balance drops below this number, credits are automatically purchased.
- Set the top-up amount — how many credits to add each time.
Auto top-up charges your payment method on file automatically.
What happens when credits run out
When your credit balance reaches zero:
- AI-powered automations (like auto-reply to reviews) pause until credits are available
- Manual AI features show a prompt to purchase more credits
- Non-AI features continue to work normally
- No data is lost — automations resume once credits are topped up
Free trial
New accounts start with a 7-day free trial that includes credits. After the trial ends, you can choose a paid plan to continue using AI features. If you do not subscribe, AI features become unavailable but your data and manual features remain accessible.
