Difference between Purchased Saas Credits and Promotional Saas Credits?

Purchased SaaS Credits and Promotional SaaS Credits serve different purposes and have distinct characteristics based on how they are acquired, their payment structure, and their usage. Here's a detailed breakdown:

1. Acquisition:

• Purchased SaaS Credits:
  These are credits bought directly from the SaaS provider through a monetary transaction. Users pay for a specific number of credits according to the provider's pricing structure.

• Promotional SaaS Credits:
  These are offered as part of special promotions or campaigns by the provider. Typically, they are given for free or as a bonus for specific actions, such as signing up for a trial, referring others, writing reviews, or participating in limited-time offers.

2. Payment and Value:

• Purchased SaaS Credits:
  These credits involve a financial exchange. The cost is determined by the provider and may vary depending on the number of credits purchased or any discounts offered, such as bulk pricing.

• Promotional SaaS Credits:
  These credits are provided at no cost and often have a predefined value determined by the SaaS provider. Their value is usually tied to specific features or services within the platform.

3. Usage and Limitations:

• Purchased SaaS Credits:
  These credits are versatile and can be used for a wide range of purposes within the platform, such as unlocking premium features, extending usage limits, or enabling additional services.

• Promotional SaaS Credits:
  These credits may come with restrictions, such as an expiration date, limited usability for specific features or services, or conditions defined by the terms of the promotional offer.

Accessing and Managing SaaS Credits:
You can view and manage both Purchased and Promotional SaaS Credits through the ‘My Account’ section of your dashboard. 

Navigate to the ‘Transactions’ tab from the left menu to see your available balance, detailed credit history, and the option to recharge Purchased SaaS Credits.

By leveraging both types of credits, you can optimize your experience on the platform, whether by purchasing more credits for uninterrupted usage or exploring the platform with promotional credits offered as a bonus.
