Credits

Every action you perform using either the OriginStamp Dashboard or the OriginStamp API consumes a certain amount of credits.

Free for Personal Use

Our Free Plan (opens new window) offers you 50 credits per month. This suffices for, e.g., creating 8 timestamps and downloading the corresponding proofs. An amount that normally covers any personal or small-business use.

Credit Consumption

The following table indicates the credit consumption of each possible action you can perform.

Request Type	Condition	Credits
Submission	create timestamp	1 Credit
Submission	timestamp already exists	0.3 Credits

Usage Overview

You can check your currently monthly credit consumption either using the OriginStamp Dashboard or by querying the OriginStamp API. As soon as you reach yor monthly limit, subsequent API calls or timestamp attempts will fail with a corresponding error message.
