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.
AI proposals — charged only when one is sent
Nothing is charged for jobs that are filtered out, or for proposals that fail to send.
Action | Credits |
Proposal — Budget model | 2 |
Proposal — Standard model | 2.5 |
Proposal — Frontier model | 3.5 |
AI job qualification | +0.5 |
Template proposal | 1.25 |
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.
Extra credits
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.
Pack | Start plan | Agency plan | Per credit (Agency) |
500 credits | $500 | $350 | $0.70 |
1,000 credits | $850 | $600 | $0.60 |
3,000 credits | $2,100 | $1,500 | $0.50 |
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.
What happens when you run out
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.

If you are moving over from a dollar plan
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.
