Upgrading and Topping Up Credits

Two types of purchase

When you buy a plan, PageScorch determines whether you are upgrading to a higher plan tier or adding more credits to your current plan.

Upgrade — you are moving to a higher-tier plan (e.g. Growth → Pro). You gain the new plan's features and the new plan's credit count is added to your balance. Your existing unused credits carry over.

Top up (add credits) — you are buying the same plan tier you already have. This adds more credits to your existing balance without changing your plan or features.

Credits are always additive. PageScorch never resets your credit balance when you purchase a plan — it only adds to it.

Upgrading to a higher plan

To upgrade:

1. Go to the pricing page or your account billing section
2. Select the plan you want to upgrade to
3. Complete payment

After a successful upgrade:

• Your current_plan_code changes to the new plan (e.g. pro instead of growth)
• Your credit balance increases by the new plan's credit count
• You immediately gain access to all features included in the new plan

Example: You have Growth (25 credits) with 8 credits remaining. You upgrade to Pro (75 credits). After the upgrade, your balance is 8 + 75 = 83 credits. You are now on the Pro plan with access to prioritized fixes and deeper rewrites.

Topping up on your current plan

If you run out of credits but want to stay on the same plan, you can purchase your current plan again. This adds the plan's credit count to your balance without changing your tier.

Example: You are on Pro with 0 credits remaining. You buy Pro again ($39). Your balance goes from 0 to 75 credits. You are still on Pro.

To top up, go to the pricing page and click the button for your current plan. The system recognizes that you are on the same plan and processes it as a credit addition.

Downgrading

PageScorch does not process downgrades automatically. If you are on a higher-tier plan and want to move to a lower one, contact hello@pagescorch.com.

Your current credits are not affected by a downgrade — you keep whatever balance you have. Features gated to the higher plan become unavailable, but previously run roasts and results remain accessible.

What credits cover

One credit = one roast (screenshot or URL). Generating a Fix Report uses one fix credit (separate from roast credits). Expert Roast is an add-on purchase and does not use roast credits.

Credits do not expire. Once added to your account, they are available until used.

Payment methods

PageScorch accepts:

• Stripe — all major credit and debit cards (USD)
• PayPal — PayPal balance and linked cards (USD)
• Razorpay — UPI, net banking, credit/debit cards (INR)

Payment is one-time, not a recurring subscription. You purchase credits when you need them.

Billing receipts

After each purchase, PageScorch sends a payment receipt to your registered email address. For invoice requests or billing questions, contact hello@pagescorch.com with your purchase details.

Failed payments

If a payment fails, no credits are added and no charge goes through. Try again with a different payment method, or contact hello@pagescorch.com if the issue persists.
