Trials and usage credits

Starting on the free trial

You can try Burnish before paying. Every new store starts with 50 free product optimizations, no card required. They work exactly like paid ones, so you see real fixes on real products. When you use them up, you are asked to choose a plan to keep optimizing.

What counts as a credit

A credit is one product optimization, the step where Burnish generates an improvement for a product. A few things do not cost a credit:

• Publishing an optimization you have already generated is free.
• Scans and tracking do not consume credits.
• Articles have their own separate monthly allowance, covered under Smart posting.

After you subscribe

Once on a plan, your monthly allowance (300 on Presence, 1,000 on Authority) resets on your subscription anniversary each month. During the 7-day trial a smaller starter pool applies first, and any trial usage counts toward your first month.
