What are credits?
Credits are recording minutes you can use independently of your plan. One credit equals one minute of recording time, and you can use credits even without a paid plan or after your free trial ends.- 1 credit = 1 minute of recording time
- Validity: 1 year from the date you receive them (any remaining credits expire after that)
- Usable even after your free trial ends
- Kept regardless of plan changes
How credits are deducted
- Your plan’s monthly minutes are used first, and credits are deducted only after you run out. On plans with unlimited usage, credits are never deducted.
- If you hold several batches of credits, the ones closest to expiring are deducted first, automatically.
- Credits have no separate screen. They roll into your remaining usage total. For example, on the Lite plan (300 minutes/month) with 50 credit minutes, your remaining usage shows as 350 minutes.

Frequently asked questions
Can I view my credits on their own?
There’s no separate screen for credits alone. They’re shown as part of your total remaining usage.Do my credits disappear if I change plans?
No. Credits are managed separately from your plan, so they stay intact within their validity period even if you switch or cancel your plan.I’ve used up my monthly usage but want to keep recording.
If you have credits, they’re deducted automatically and you can keep recording. If you’re out of credits too, consider upgrading your plan. See Tiro plans.Related pages: Tiro plans · Free trial · Manage your subscription
