ZingFrog uses the increasing popular model of credits to price your Zings. This model is popular because you only buy what you need, when you need it. ZingFrog also chose this model because we plan to offer other types of Zings in the future, in addition to audio and summary only Zings.
The best way to find out more about this model is go to your Profile dropdown on the top right and click on "Account".
The best way to get started is click on Purchase Credits, the third tab.
Here you will see current pricing. Each credit costs 10 cents ($0.10) and you will notice that Audio & Text Summary and Summary Only Zings are setup to have different prices, with the latter typically being a little less expensive.
There will be a minimum amount of credits you will need to purchase. In this case, it is 250 credits or $25.00.
After you enter how many credits you wish to buy, you can click on the Next button. You will then be taken to a Stripe payment page, where you will complete your purchase. You will receive an Email receipt as well as see an update in your License balance, which is the first tab, as shown below.
At the top of the page you'll see how many credits you have received (by promotion or purchased), number used, and the balance of what you have available.
Underneath is a table of all the licenses you've received by purchase or promotion.
Promotions are received either automatically or by entering a code at the bottom of the Licenses screen.
A valid Promotion Code will increase your total in the Licenses Received count and hence your balance. Promotion Codes can only be used once.
Finally, the second tab - Usage - will show you credits used for each Zing you have created.
