Understanding Document Credits

Get clarity on the two types of document credits—SEO and Rank-Ready—and how each one works.

When using Describly to generate optimized content, you’ll encounter two different types of document credits. Each serves a different purpose depending on the workflow you're using:

In this article

Content Project Credits

Content Project Credits are used when you create a document via the Start Content Project workflow—which includes processing a search query and running a SERP (search engine results page) analysis.

  • Starter plan includes 15 Content Project credits per month

  • Professional plan includes 75 Content Project credits per month

  • Credits reset monthly on the 1st of each month at 12:00 AM UTC

  • These credits do not roll over

Rank-Ready Document Credits

Rank-ready credits are used only when you create content using the Generate Content workflow—a more structured experience designed to produce fully optimized, publish-ready documents.

  • Starter plan includes 2 Rank Ready credits per month

  • Professional plan includes 10 Rank Ready credits per month

Outside of the plan allotments, Rank Ready credits are pay-as-you-go. Purchase only what you need & receive a discount when you buy in bulk. Unused credits roll over month to month.

How do I purchase Rank Ready credits? In the upper left corner, click your name > Settings > AI Document Credits.

How to Check Your Usage

To see how many credits you've used for the month:

Go to your SettingsClick on the Usage tab

You'll see a breakdown of:

  • Content Project credits used and remaining

  • Rank-ready credits used and remaining

Tip: If you’re running low on either credit type, consider upgrading to a larger plan or purchasing pay-as-you-go credits to stay productive without interruption.
