From 17 August 2026, GigRadar meters work in credits instead of a dollar limit. This article lists what each action costs, and what extra credits cost if you want more.

Nothing is charged for jobs that are filtered out, or for proposals that fail to send.

A proposal written with a Standard model and AI qualification costs 2.5 + 0.5 = 3 credits. A Template proposal with no AI costs 1.25 credits and nothing else.

Your plan includes an allowance each period. If you want more, you can buy credit packs at any time — and the larger the pack, the cheaper each credit gets. A 3,000-credit pack works out around 30% cheaper per credit than a 500-credit one.

Bought credits never expire. Unlike your plan allowance, which is a fresh amount each period, credits you buy stay in your balance until you use them.

You choose. Either turn on automatic top-up, so a pack is purchased and bidding continues without a gap, or leave it off and bidding simply pauses until you decide to buy more. Nothing is ever charged that you did not already agree to — there is no overage on credits, so a busy month cannot produce a surprise on your invoice.

Per-proposal prices become the standard ones above, the same for every customer. Your credit allowance is set so it buys the same number of proposals your plan buys you today, so your volume does not change. Your Credits tab shows the full working: your old plan price, what you had already used, and the arithmetic behind your converted balance.

One thing improves immediately: a cheaper model now costs you fewer credits. Until the switch, every model billed the same.

No, and no. The switch happens automatically on the changeover date. It costs you nothing, and your plan, your price and your settings all stay as they are — scanners, bidding strategies and team members are untouched. The only thing that changes is the unit your allowance is counted in: credits instead of dollars.

Your normal subscription billing is unaffected and carries on exactly as it did before. If your renewal happens to fall on or near the changeover date, that invoice is your usual one — it is not a charge for moving to credits, and there is no such charge.

If your subscription is already set to end, nothing here changes that either. You keep whatever remains for as long as your plan runs.

Your Credits tab and your migration email both list every proposal type, including ones you may never use. Each row answers a hypothetical: how many of that type your balance would buy if you spent all of it on that one type.

Your allowance is weighted by what you actually send. So if you never send template proposals, that row changing costs you nothing — the volume you really use is unchanged. That is the case for most people asking this question.

There is a real change underneath it, though, and it is worth stating plainly. Prices are now the same for every customer, which altered what each type costs relative to the others. If your old template price was unusually cheap next to your old AI price, templates now cost you proportionally more than they did — and if it was unusually expensive, they cost less. What was preserved is your total volume at the mix you actually send, not each individual row.

If your own numbers do not look right, email support@gigradar.io with your team name and we will walk through the arithmetic with you.
