What Are Headshot Credits and How Do They Work?

Scale Headshots credits allow users to submit and retake photos.

What Are Headshot Credits?

  • Credits are deducted for each approved Headshot within the Scale Headshots platform.

  • Invites do not count, so for instance, if you've sent 10 invitations but only 5 Headshots have been received and approved, your account will reflect the usage of 5 credits. Please note that this count may vary from the Headshot view, as it includes retake Headshots (more on that next).

Understanding Retakes

  • Avoid deleting Headshots instead of rejecting them. Deleting a Headshot removes the dashboard's ability to register a retake request, resulting in an additional credit charge for subsequent submissions.

  • Each credit includes up to 5 retakes, meaning each Headshot can be rejected 5 times by their admin before another credit is used.

  • A new credit is only deducted upon the 6th retake request per user. A retake is counted in the dashboard when a Headshot is rejected, triggering a "request retake" email. Subsequent Headshots from that user won't consume additional credits until all 5 allotted retakes have been exhausted.

Do Credits Expire?

  • You have indefinite access to the platform and purchased credits unless you request to deactivate your account.

  • Please note that if your account becomes inactive for more than 6 months, we may reach out to confirm if you want to retain access. If we cannot confirm, we reserve the right to deactivate the account to reduce our server usage and costs.
