Questions, answered

Do credits expire?

Never. Your balance carries over forever — buy once, use whenever. There is no billing cycle to lose it to.

What happens when my balance hits zero?

A grace period kicks in and we warn you before it does. Your codes keep redirecting through the grace window; worst case they pause until you top up. Nothing is ever deleted.

How much does a custom domain cost?

Nothing. White-label domains are included free on every account — the same feature costs $350–2,000/yr elsewhere.

Is there a subscription I need to cancel?

No. There is no subscription, no auto-renewal, and no card on file unless you choose to buy again. Prepaid credits are the entire model.
