Evalingo runs on credits. One credit equals one assessment, whether that assessment tests speaking, writing, or both.
A credit is deducted when the candidate starts the assessment, not when you create it. So:
| Type | Where it comes from | Expiry |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly credits | Included with your plan | Reset at the start of each billing cycle |
| Credit packs | Bought as a one-off top-up | Never expire |
We always spend your monthly credits first, since those are the ones that expire. Your purchased packs stay untouched until the monthly allowance runs out.
You can buy a credit pack at any time from Billing without changing your plan. If you are consistently running out before the month ends, moving up a plan is usually cheaper per assessment than buying packs.
<aside> 💡
Unused monthly credits do not roll over. If your volume is uneven month to month, a smaller plan topped up with packs may cost less than a larger plan you only fully use occasionally.
