How Many Words Does A Credit Scan?

The number of credits needed depends on the model you choose and whether DeepScan is enabled. With Originality 5.0 without DeepScan, 1 credit scans 100 words.
Here’s the breakdown:

• 5.0 without DeepScan: 1 credit = 100 words
• 5.0 with DeepScan: 5 credits = 100 words
• 5.0 Max: 10 credits = 100 words
• 5.0 Max with DeepScan: 50 credits = 100 words

What If I'm Barely Over The Limit?

Each credit can scan a maximum of 50 to 100 words, and going over this limit will result in using another credit.

Here's an example: Let's say you have 1,000 words and two features are checked, i.e. 5.0 and Plagiarism. This will cost 20 credits. If you add another word and have 1,001 words, it will cost 21 credits since each credit can only scan up to 50 words

If you have 1,000 words and only one of the features is checked, either Detect AI or Check Plagiarism & Readability, then the scan will cost 10 credits. If you add another word and have 100,1 words, the scan will cost 11 credits since each credit will scan up to 100 words with only one box checked
