Every question your assistant answers with OpenRush uses credits. Simple lookups cost 1–3 credits. AI visibility, the most expensive data, costs up to 22 credits. MCP, Dashboard sessions, and API keys share the same account balance. Most users should check credits in Billing. Developers can also read the balance through the API.

Tool credit costs

Credits are deducted when a tool call starts. Backlink tools are enabled by default. A deployment can temporarily remove both tools with an operational kill switch. Check /v1/capabilities for the live tool surface and current costs. get_search_performance needs a connected Search Console property, get_website_analytics needs a connected Google Analytics property, and get_ad_performance needs a connected Google Ads account with an activated ad account. Each is charged only once a connected website or ad account is resolved, so a call that has nothing to read is not charged. Listing connections and the connection endpoints are always free.

Monitors

A monitor check costs the normal price of each tool it runs, charged as each step runs. Creating, listing, changing, and deleting monitors, reading their history, and logging changes are free.
  • create_monitor returns the cost per check and per month. Use /v1/me/monitoring/estimate to see it without creating anything.
  • Asking for a monitor that already exists returns it with no charge.
  • A check never charges into a negative balance. When the balance can’t cover the next check, the monitor pauses and keeps its history. It resumes by itself once credits are added.
  • list_monitors returns credits.runway_weeks: how many weeks the balance lasts at the current monitor spend.
To keep monitors running, turn on auto top-up in Billing. We suggest a threshold of at least 1,000 credits, or two weeks of monitor spend if that’s higher.

Buy credits

Buy credits in Billing. The current app flow supports $10 increments, where $10 buys 1,000 credits. Purchases are handled by the OpenRush dashboard.
