Usage credits

Usage Credits are an umbrella volume covering multiple features: Automations, Bulk Send, Forms, API, Zapier, and Make.

One usage credit = one document programmatically created via PandaDoc. This includes documents created through:

  • The PandaDoc API

  • Zapier, Make, Workato, and other iPaaS connectors

  • Bulk Send, Forms, and Automations

What doesn't count: Most programmatic actions are free and do not consume credits — connecting your account, searching and reading documents, managing recipients, checking document status and audit trails. Only creating a new document consumes one usage credit.

API Sandbox key is free and unlimited. Credits are only consumed when a document is created via a live, production integration.

The number of included credits depends on your subscription type:

Plan

Included credits

Free

Not applicable. The Free plan doesn't use usage credits. Documents created via API are capped at 25 per month, and all sends (app, API, and MCP) count toward the monthly limit of 5 documents. See Free plan document limits.

Starter

One-time grant of 25 credits on conversion to a paid plan, expiring after 30 days (monthly) or at the end of your annual billing cycle (annual). Recurring add-ons are available for purchase.

Business

10 credits included with your trial. When you convert to a paid plan, you receive 50 additional one-time credits, expiring after 30 days (monthly) or at the end of your annual billing cycle (annual). Recurring add-ons are available for purchase.

Enterprise

10 credits included with your trial. Your paid plan includes an annual allotment. Purchase additional usage credits via the billing page.

Important: Usage credits are tied to your subscription renewal cycle. The one-time conversion credit grant is valid until your next renewal and does not carry over. Recurring usage credits must be purchased as add-ons and are not included free after the initial grant.

Notes:

  • Trial credits do not carry over when you convert to a paid plan.

  • Monthly credits do not roll over to the next month. Annual prepaid credit pools are valid for the full annual term.

  • For Starter and Business accounts, the one-time conversion credit grant is valid through your first renewal. After renewal, additional credits must be purchased as add-ons.

  • Your included credits and any purchased credits combine into a single balance.

Purchasing additional credits

You can buy additional usage credit packages via the billing page, Annual plan subscribers purchase credits as a prepaid annual pool rather than a monthly add-on.

If you're on an annual plan and need more credits, the billing page will show your available options.

Note: The Increase limit button is not available while your account is in a trial period. To increase your limit, you must first activate a paid subscription.

Important: Unused usage credits will not roll over to a following annual subscription term or renewal period.

Warning: If you exceed your included usage credits, the fees for such additional usage credits will be equal to the applicable per unit fee on the Customers then current Order.

  1. Go to Settings > Billing

  2. Scroll down to 'Usage credits' and select Increase limit:
    ​

  3. Select the package of usage credits you need and click Pay now.
