How Credits Work in HireBoost
HireBoost uses a credit-based system - pay only for what you use, no subscriptions required.
What Are Credits?
Credits are the currency used to access HireBoost features. Each feature consumes credits based on usage.
Credit Consumption Rates
Transcription
- Rate: Credits per minute of transcription
- Usage: Consumed only when transcription is active
- Example: 10 minutes of interview = 10 × rate
AI Answer Suggestions
- Rate: Credits per 1,000 input/output tokens
- Usage: Based on the length of questions and generated answers
- Example: Longer questions and detailed answers consume more credits
Human Supporter
- Rate: Credits per minute of supporter time
- Usage: Only consumed when supporter mode is enabled
- Example: 30 minutes with supporter = 30 × rate
Purchasing Credits
- Credit Packs: Pre-defined packs with bonus credits
- Custom Amount: Purchase any amount you need
- Payment Methods: Cryptocurrency and other payment options
- Instant Activation: Credits are available immediately after purchase
Credit Management
- Never Expire: Credits don't have expiration dates
