For detailed plan pricing and feature comparisons, visit the [Pricing Page](https://app.blocksec.com/phalcon/compliance/billing/pricing).
## Credits (Pay-As-You-Go)
Credits let you purchase screening packs without a subscription. This is ideal if you need flexible, on-demand screening.
* Choose from packs of 50, 100, 200, 500, 1,000, or 2,000 screenings.
* Credits are valid for **12 months** from the date of purchase.
* If you also have a subscription plan, your subscription quota is consumed first. Credits are only used after the subscription quota is exhausted.
* When your Credits balance reaches zero, your account reverts to Free-level permissions.
## Top-up (For Subscription Users)
If you run out of screenings during your current billing cycle, you can purchase additional screenings at your current plan's unit price.
* Top-up screenings expire at the **end of your current billing cycle** — they do not carry over to the next cycle.
* Access Top-up from the Pricing page.
## Monitor Add-on
Essential and Scale subscribers can add ongoing monitoring capacity to continuously track address risk changes.
* **1 monitored address is included free** with every Essential and Scale subscription.
* Need more? Add capacity via the Monitor Add-on: 10, 20, 40, 80, 120, or 200 monitored addresses.
* The Add-on is billed alongside your subscription (monthly or annual).
* Manage your Monitor Add-on from the Billing & Usage page.
For details on how Monitor works, see [Monitor](/manual/monitor.md).
## Payment Methods
Phalcon Compliance supports three payment methods: **Credit Card**, **Cryptocurrency**, and **E-Wallet**.
All payments are processed in US Dollars (USD). An invoice is generated for every payment and can be downloaded from the "Billing History" section.
## Managing Your Plan
Manage your plan in **Pricing & Usage → Billing & Usage**.
* **View Plan** — See your current plan, billing cycle, and next renewal date.
* **Upgrade** — Switch to a higher plan at any time. Adjustments may take effect immediately or at the next billing cycle, depending on the change.
* **Renew** — For users who paid with a one-time payment method (Cryptocurrency or E-Wallet), a Renew button will appear on the Billing & Usage page shortly before your plan expires. Renew early to avoid service interruption.
* **Cancel** — Cancel anytime. Your plan remains active until the end of the current billing period and will not be renewed afterward.
* **Downgrade** — First cancel your current plan, then subscribe to another plan.
## Usage Tracking
View your usage in **Pricing & Usage → Billing & Usage**:
* Track the number of screenings and other resource usage for the current billing cycle.
* Monitor usage to avoid exceeding your plan's limits.
