Credits, the spending cap and data limits

What uses credits

Only lookups that cost DealWolf money to make, such as live listing searches, local rents, short-let figures and US sold comps. Each button says what it costs before you press it. A page of a live search or a listing's details is 0.1 credits.

Searching, stacking, the free public records, packs, contracts and the comps report cost nothing. Nothing in DealWolf takes payment while it's in early access.

A new workspace gets 10 credits a month. Monthly credits are used first. Prices: see What costs credits?

You don't pay twice

What a paid lookup brings back is kept for your whole workspace and opens free while it's fresh: see Will I pay twice?. A lookup that fails isn't charged (for one with several steps, only the steps that worked are).

Your spending cap

Every workspace has a monthly cap, switched on from the start. A paid lookup that would go over it doesn't run, and nothing is spent. You'll see:

“That would go over your …-credit monthly spending cap. Raise it on Plan & credits.”

Owners can change or switch off the cap on Plan & credits, and get an alert when 80% of the month's cap is used. Only owners see costs and limits.

The daily and monthly data limits

Some live data comes from one allowance DealWolf shares across every workspace. A guard keeps DealWolf inside it, so it never runs up extra charges. When it's tight, background work (like the overnight map refresh) stops first and your own lookups carry on. These limits don't touch your credits.

• “Daily data limit reached, try again tomorrow.” The day's share of live data is used up. It resets at midnight UTC.
• “Live data paused until the monthly allowance renews.” The month's allowance is nearly gone. Live lookups start again by themselves once it renews.

You're not charged for a lookup that doesn't run. The map, saved lookups and the free public records keep working.
