Aura credits
One balance covers everything you send and everything Aura does. Here's what draws from it and where to see it.
What credits are
Aura credits are the unit RCSync bills in. Your administrator allocates them to your brand, and everything that costs something draws them down from a single balance. Every cost figure in the app — campaign estimates, the live cost tally, the Aura usage card — is shown in credits.
What draws credits
- Message sends — charged when a campaign run is created, at the campaign's estimated cost. See Pricing & cost for how a message is priced.
- Replies — suggested-reply taps and inbound messages are billable, at the same tier the campaign paid to send. Link clicks are not.
- Aura features — drafting a campaign with Aura, Aura Offers picking an offer for a customer, describing an image you upload to the asset library, and generating your daily brief.
Timing
Everything appears on your balance as it happens — sends when the campaign run is created, replies as they arrive, and Aura features as they run.
Where to see it
- Sidebar — your balance is always visible, and turns red if it goes negative.
- Credits page — your balance, what the last 30 days went on split by type, and a full statement of every charge and allocation.
- Campaign view — estimated cost before you activate, and a live tally once it's running.
- Analytics — cost across the campaigns you've selected.
- Plan page — your month-to-date Aura usage, alongside the package assigned to your brand and what it includes.
Running out
By default nothing stops when your balance reaches zero — campaigns keep sending, replies keep arriving, and Aura keeps working. Your balance simply goes negative, and a banner asks you to contact your administrator for more credits.
Your administrator can also set your brand so that a negative balance blocks new work. In that mode you can't activate a campaign that costs more than your remaining balance, and you can't start new Aura work while overdrawn. Anything already running keeps going, which means replies to a live campaign can still take you below zero.
