What is a credit?
Credits meter the AI work Spectersync does for you. Running a recipe across your posts — a bulk rewrite, a meta-description pass, a translation — consumes credits based on how much content the model processes. Reading, editing in the browser, reviewing diffs, publishing and rolling back cost nothing; only AI runs spend credits. Signing up grants 400 credits once. On Pro there is no credit meter at all — you get a fair-use ceiling instead, currently 5,000 documents a month.
What do I get without paying?
The safe execution layer, in full. Connect Shopify, WordPress, Ghost and Webflow, pull your content in, read and edit it from the browser or from an AI assistant over MCP, preview every change as a diff, publish it, and roll it back from the snapshot. That path is never paywalled, on any plan, including after a subscription ends. What Pro adds is the AI work on top of it: recipes, bulk runs and the site index.
What does Pro actually add?
Edits made with your whole site in view rather than one page in isolation. Pro turns on the site index, so a recipe can see the rest of your content while it writes; recipes themselves, single and in bulk; analysis recipes; and 90 days of snapshot history instead of 7. It also replaces the credit meter with a fair-use ceiling, so a full-archive pass is not a budgeting exercise.
What happens when I run out of credits?
Nothing breaks. Your content, your connections, browser editing, publishing and rollback all keep working — the free grant runs out, not the product. AI recipes are what pause. A $29 credit pack adds 400 credits without a subscription, and Pro removes the meter. Nothing is ever published or deleted to push you to upgrade.
Do I have to subscribe?
No. A $29 pack is 400 credits, paid once, valid twelve months, with nothing to cancel — buy another whenever you run dry. A pack buys more volume on the free feature set; it does not unlock recipes or the site index. Subscribe when you want those, or when metering a full-archive pass has stopped being worth the arithmetic.
What is the fair-use ceiling on Pro?
Five thousand documents processed per calendar month. Past that we ask you to talk to us rather than cutting you off mid-run — most people never approach it, and the ones who do are usually running an agency and want a different conversation anyway. Reads, previews and rollbacks are not counted against it.
Can I add my colleagues?
Yes, on Pro: $49 a month per additional user, billed on the same subscription, each with their own login to the same workspace — shared documents, connections and recipes. Member roles beyond owner/editor and per-site permissions are not built yet, so a seat today means access to the workspace rather than a restricted view of it. If that distinction matters to you, email hello@spectersync.com before subscribing on that basis.
Do you offer a desktop or self-hosted option?
Yes. Spectersync Core is a paid, signed macOS app that runs the whole sync on your own machine, and Spectersync DIY is the free open-source edition. Those are priced separately from the hosted plans — see the local pricing page.
