Credits System

Understanding how credits work in XTranslator.

What Are Credits?​

XTranslator uses a unified monthly credits system where every translation request costs a flat number of credits. You see one credit balance, and each action deducts a predictable amount.

How It Works​

Monthly Credits​

Each plan includes monthly credits that:

  • Reset on your billing date each month
  • Are used for all translation features
  • Work with Extra Credits when exhausted

Translation Quality Tiers​

Your plan determines the translation quality tier:

Standard (Free & Starter)​

  • Fast, efficient translations
  • Great for everyday use
  • Optimized for speed and efficiency

Enhanced (Pro & Ultimate)​

  • Superior translation quality
  • Better context understanding
  • More natural-sounding output
  • Improved accuracy for complex content

Extra Credits​

Extra Credits are optional add-on purchases:

  • Never expire — Use them anytime
  • Work for ALL features — Text, audio, document, image, and OCR
  • Used after monthly credits — Automatically used when monthly credits run out
  • Available to all paid plans — See Extra Credits

How Extra Credits Work​

  1. Monthly credits are used first for all translations
  2. When monthly credits run out, Extra Credits are consumed
  3. Extra Credits continue working until exhausted
  4. Monthly credits replenish on your billing date

  • Extends all translation features

Option 2: Upgrade Your Plan

  • Get more monthly credits
