Credits

DefinitionCredits are AI Rank Lab's single currency: one balance pays for every paid action, such as audits, prompt runs, articles and API calls, while reading results you already have is free.

You get free credits once when you finish onboarding, then credits from your plan and from one-time packs. Each tool shows its price before you run it; if your balance is too low, the tool stops and nothing is charged. Some tools refund a failed run and some don't; each tool's lesson says which. A few older features still use a separate legacy coin wallet, and the lessons for those tools say so.

On a shared domain, credits allocated to a teammate are moved out of the owner's balance up front. See How credits work and pricing.

• API key: An API key is the credential that lets your own scripts, the MCP server and the WordPress plugin act on your AI Rank Lab account. It comes as a key plus a secret.
• Tracking tag: The tracking tag is the small JavaScript snippet you add to your site so AI Rank Lab can record AI-referred visitors and AI agents that load your pages in a browser.
• Prompt: In AI Rank Lab, a prompt is a question you track, phrased the way a buyer would ask an AI assistant, such as "best CRM for small agencies".
