Our transparent token-based system ensures fair and predictable pricing for all users. Understanding how tokens are calculated, the dual-token system, and plan benefits will help you optimize your tracking tasks for maximum efficiency and value.
Understanding the Dual-Token System
Our system uses two types of tokens to provide flexibility and value:
Monthly Quota vs. Extra Tokens
- Monthly Quota: Resets every month based on your subscription plan. Use these first!
- Extra Tokens: Purchased tokens that never expire. Perfect for occasional high-usage periods.
- Smart Deduction: System automatically uses quota tokens first, then extra tokens.
Fixed Exchange Rate
All users get the same fair exchange rate when purchasing extra tokens:
250 tokens per £1 (GBP)
The same rate applies to all users regardless of subscription tier. Tokens are rounded up to the nearest 10 for your benefit. If you pay in another currency, the approximate equivalent rate is shown in your dashboard.
Token Costs Per Task
Token consumption depends on task configuration and complexity:
Base Execution Cost
- Standard Task: 1 tokens per execution
- With Screenshot: +1 tokens per execution
- Advanced Browser Rendering: +2-6 tokens (depending on level)
Frequency-Based Costs
More frequent checks increase total monthly consumption:
- Every 5 minutes: +1 tokens per execution
- Every 10 minutes: +1 tokens per execution
- Every 15 minutes: +1 tokens per execution
- Every 30 minutes: +1 tokens per execution
- Every 45 minutes: +1 tokens per execution
- Every 60 minutes: +1 tokens per execution
- Daily (24 hours): Base cost (no additional charge)

Token Optimization Strategies
Reduce token consumption while maintaining effectiveness:
- Use your monthly quota first - it resets every month!
- Purchase extra tokens when needed - they never expire
- Choose appropriate check frequencies based on actual needs
- Disable screenshots when visual confirmation isn't necessary
- Consolidate multiple elements from the same page into single tasks
Monitoring Your Token Usage
Real-Time Usage Tracking
Your dashboard provides comprehensive token usage monitoring:
- Total Balance: Combined quota + extra tokens
- Monthly Quota: Subscription allocation that resets monthly
- Extra Tokens: Purchased tokens that never expire
- Usage Breakdown: See how tokens are deducted (quota first, then extra)
Maximize Your Token Value
Get the most from your tokens:
- Choose the right plan for your monitoring needs to get sufficient monthly quota
- Monitor your monthly quota usage to ensure you're on the right plan
- Purchase extra tokens when needed - they never expire
- Use quota tokens for regular tasks, save extra tokens for peak periods
- Review task configurations monthly to optimize consumption
Smart Billing Features
Automatic Quota Reset
- Billing cycle reset: Quota automatically resets on your billing date

Flexible Top-ups
- Fixed rate: 250 tokens per £1 (GBP) for all users, with equivalent rates in other currencies
