Credits Explained
Running an analysis consumes 1 credit per asset. An asset can be a piece of text, an image, or a video. If you submit multiple assets in a single analysis, you will use multiple credits.
Example: If an ad includes text plus two images, this counts as 3 assets, and therefore uses 3 credits.
Each credit has an associated monetary value. When you sign up for a CLEAR subscription, you purchase an annual credit package (for example, $1,000 worth of credits) that is then allocated to your team to use for analyses as needed.
Tracking and Assigning Credit Usage
Overview
CLEAR provides tools for monitoring how your team’s annual credit allowance is allocated and consumed. Credit management is controlled by users with Superadmin permissions to ensure appropriate usage across all departments.
Viewing Your Team’s Credit Allowance
To review your total annual credit allowance:
Navigate to Team Overview Settings from the left-hand menu.
Confirm you are logged in with Super admin access.
The Overview page displays your team’s credit allowance and consumption metrics.
Managing Credit Allocation by Department
Credits can be assigned and monitored at the department level. This allows teams to control usage based on operational needs and maintain accountability.
To view department-level credit usage:
Go to Team Info > Departments.
Each department card shows:
Credits allocated
Credits used
Number of members in the department
Use this information to track how much of your annual allowance each department has consumed.
Assigning credits by department ensures that resource usage aligns with team priorities and prevents misuse.
Tracking Credit Usage by Report
CLEAR also provides detailed visibility into credit consumption at the report level.
To view credit usage per report:
Open the Credits page within CLEAR.
Review the list of all generated ad compliance reports.
Each report entry displays the number of credits used, contributing to your total annual consumption.
This view allows Super admins to identify high-usage reports and monitor patterns over time.
