Plans and credits
What uses credits in TM Manager, how your monthly credits and portfolio size work, and how to add more as your practice or brand portfolio grows.
Your TM Manager plan gives you two allowances:
- Credits each month, used by searches, exports and document downloads.
- A portfolio size: how many trademarks and oppositions TM Manager tracks for you.
See both at any time under your account menu → Usage Stats.
What uses credits
| Action | Credits |
|---|---|
| A trademark search | 1 |
| The same search again within an hour | free |
| An export (Excel or PDF) | 1 per 100 rows |
| Opening a document | ½ (1 credit for every two documents) |
| The same document again within an hour | free |
You're charged only for actions that succeed.
Your credit month
Credits renew every month on your plan's start day. If your plan started on the 10th, each credit month runs from the 10th to the 9th of the next month. Unused credits don't carry over.
You'll see an alert in the sidebar when you've used 80% of your credits, and again when you've used them all.
If you also use the TM API
If your team has both a TM Manager plan and a TM API plan:
- what you do in the app uses your TM Manager credits first, then your TM API credits;
- calls made with an API key use only TM API credits.
Each plan keeps its own credit month, so the two don't affect each other.
Portfolio size
Every TM Manager plan tracks up to 3,000 trademarks and oppositions. Need more? Add a portfolio block of 1,000 at a time. Usage Stats shows how many you're using. If your portfolio is full, remove marks you no longer need, or add a block.
Adding more
As you grow, add to your plan in blocks:
| Block | Adds |
|---|---|
| Credit block | 5,000 more credits every month |
| Portfolio block | room for 1,000 more marks |
A block bought mid-month counts in full straight away, and renews or ends with your plan. To add one, contact the MarkSimpl team.
