# Control your usage

Estimate costs before running work, choose only the coverage you need, and monitor transactions from billing settings.

## Review the estimate

Check the displayed estimate before starting a metered action. Tracking, batch, and multi-location work can multiply a base rate.

## Control tracking cost

* Enable only the platforms that matter to the project.
* Review added locations; Local Pack and location-aware AI checks can multiply.
* Turn auto-tracking off for keywords that no longer need scheduled scans.
* Group settings carefully before applying them in bulk.

## Control content cost

* Brief: 1,800 credits.
* Brief + draft: 2,100 credits.
* Quick mode: 1,200 credits.
* Regenerate: 800 credits.
* Autopilot: 3,000 credits after the complimentary first organization draft.

Use Write it myself when you want editor support without AI draft generation.

## Control research and audit cost

Analyze only the keywords, competitors, pages, or URLs you intend to use. Cached research can be free; fresh or deep modes show their rate before they run.

## Control Serena usage

Chat is free. URL imports cost 75 credits per page, deep research costs 100, and Serena-started tool actions use the rate for that tool.

## Audit transactions

Open billing settings to review the action, quantity, and timestamp behind a charge. If a completed transaction does not match the action you approved, contact support with the transaction and project details.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.rankability.com/account-and-settings/control-your-usage.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
