Engagement credit

Verified engagement isn't free: X charges for reading who retweeted, replied or follows. Fealty meters those reads against your server's engagement credit.

What a check costs

Every check is metered at the official X API list price, and that is the most you will ever pay: a cent per retweeter read, half a cent per reply read, a cent per follow or subscriber check. Fealty often charges less. The Usage tab lists today's price for each kind of check next to the X list price, and every read in your history shows what X would have charged, struck through, next to what you paid. During a campaign checks can be free; the Usage tab says so and when it ends.

Likes cost nothing to check: members count their like through the Like button.

Before you create a raffle or quest with X tasks, the form shows X checks at the draw: what the draw will read, what it will cost at today's prices, and whether your credit covers it, with a top-up link when it may not.

Two buckets, spent in order

1. Plan allowance. Paid plans include monthly credit ($10 / $25 / $60). It resets on each subscription-month anniversary, doesn't roll over, and ends with the subscription. Spent first.
2. Purchased credit. Top up any amount from $5 (1 USDC = $1 credit). Never expires. Spent after the allowance.

New servers get a one-time $10 trial credit: enough for the X checks of a real raffle or quest before paying anything.

When credit runs out

Nothing breaks and nothing finalizes incorrectly:

• Quests pause as paused with the reason shown on the Quests page, and finalize automatically after a top-up. Awards are only billed when verification completes, so a paused quest never charges you twice.
• Raffle draws hold instead of drawing unverified. The raffle shows a "draw paused" badge with the reason, entries stay closed, and the draw retries automatically after a top-up ("Draw now" retries instantly). A draw held because a post has more engagement than one pass can verify does not retry on its own; "Draw now" or "Draw anyway" is your call. If you'd rather not wait, "Draw anyway" runs the draw without X verification, as an explicit choice.

The same pause-and-retry behavior applies if X data reads fail on our side: nobody is disqualified and no quest goes unawarded because of an outage.

Tracking spend

The Usage tab of Plan & usage shows the live balance split by bucket, this month's and lifetime spend, every metered read with its cost, and your plan-limit meters. /credit in Discord shows the balance summary.
