How Rocket Validator Credits Work

by Almudena García

Rocket Validator uses a credit-based system to measure usage and help you get the most out of your reports. Whether you’re validating small sites or large ones with hundreds of pages, credits ensure a fair and predictable way to manage your account.

What Are Credits?

Each action you perform—like checking for HTML or accessibility (A11Y) issues—costs a certain number of credits. When you sign up, you get 100 free credits to start validating right away.

Actions and Their Costs

Here’s a quick overview of how credits are used:

  • HTML check: 1 credit per page
  • A11Y check: 1 credit per page
  • Dynamic crawling: 1 credit per page
  • Raw issue storage: 1 credit per type (HTML or A11Y) per page

If you validate a 100-page site with both HTML and A11Y checks, that would use 200 credits (100 for each type of check). Enabling raw storage for both would add another 200 credits.

Dynamic Crawling and Raw Storage

By default, Rocket Validator uses a free Static Crawler to find internal links. You can optionally enable the Dynamic Crawler to handle JavaScript-based sites—just note it costs 1 credit per dynamically crawled page.

Likewise, storing raw HTML and A11Y issues is optional and useful for advanced use cases via the API. This storage also consumes 1 extra credit per stored raw check.

Running Out of Credits?

If you run out of credits, you’ll need to wait for a recharge before launching new validations. You can get more credits by:

  • Subscribing to a plan: Weekly or monthly, depending on what works best for you.
  • Using a guest account: If you’re a guest of another user, you’ll get monthly credits up to your allowed quota.

Check the pricing page for subscription options.

New: Credit Count in the Side Menu

To make things easier, you can now see your remaining credits right in the Rocket Validator side menu. No need to dig through your account settings—just glance at the menu and you’ll know exactly how many credits you have left.
