• A few calls cost more there: a page of a Google advertiser's ads is 25 credits, a LinkedIn profile 3. Here each is 1 credit.

Social Fetch's plan credits reset every month, and top-ups are automatic by default: buy a pack once, and your card pays for it again whenever you're down to 100 credits. LurkAPI's packs never expire, and never refill unless you turn that on.
