Annual Plans Credits Allocation

With Surfer's annual plans, you’re not tied to monthly limits and can manage your work at your own pace without worrying about losing unused credits month to month.

Please note that the credits mentioned in this article refer to our previous way of handling feature usage limits.

If you subscribed to one of our plans after 29th of January 2026, please refer to our pricing page to learn about the usage limits for each plan.

If you have any questions regarding credits or the new limits, please contact our customer service team - we'll gladly assist!

By choosing a yearly plan, you also save up to $528 and get a full year’s worth of credits upfront. This gives you more flexibility and control:

• Organize usage around your weekly, monthly, or quarterly workload.

• Avoid losing unused credits from slower months.

• Plan larger content projects without waiting for monthly resets.

Remember: Just like with the monthly plans, unused credits at the end of the year do not roll over to the next subscription year.

How do credits in annual plans work?

Opting for an annual plan means receiving all your credits for the entire year in one upfront batch! Below you can see an example based on our Scale Plan.

Annual Plans do not affect Content Audit, AI Tracker, Custom Voice and Custom Template limits - those limits remain the same regardless of your billing cycle.

Fair Use Policy still applies. Even if you are on an annual plan, the daily limit for tools under Fair Use remains the same:

• Keyword Research – 100 queries/day

• SERP Analyzer – 100 queries/day (if your plan includes it)

• Topic Research – 100 queries/day (if your plan includes it)

• Facts Coverage Booster – 100 queries/day (if your plan includes it)
