What are Credits?
This guide describes how to use Credits to pay for premium Cryptowatch services.
Credits are how you pay for Cryptowatch services, like Alerts and APIs. You can spend your credits on any combination of services. Credits are only used for services and cannot be converted to crypto assets.
Credits can be purchased using a debit/credit card or Bitcoin. Enable Auto Refill via credit card to ensure uninterrupted service.
Refilling Credits
Paying with a Credit Card
To refill your account’s balance using a card, navigate to this page to add a credit card:
Once you have a credit card added to your account, you can set up Auto Refill or make a one-time payment. We recommend enabling Auto Refill, as it will give you uninterrupted access to Cryptowatch services, while charging your card only when you have run out of Credits.
Note: If your credit card(s) are being declined, you may want to try using a debit card.
Paying with Bitcoin
Credits can also be purchased using Bitcoin payments, processed through BTCPay. Bitcoin can only be used to initiate one-time payments. A card must be added to enable Auto Refill.
Credits Costs & Bonuses
After deciding your payment method and frequency (one-time vs. Auto Refill), you need to choose a payment amount. Credit bonuses are provided for larger payment amounts:
