# Credit System

DepFixer uses a pay-per-use credit system. You only pay for what you use.

## How It Works

1. **Audit is free** - Run `npx depfixer` unlimited times to see issues
2. **Fixes cost credits** - Pay credits to unlock solutions
3. **Credits never expire** - Use them whenever you need

## Credit Costs

Credits are based on project size (number of packages):

| Project Size   | Packages  | Credits |
| -------------- | --------- | ------- |
| **Micro**      | 0 - 24    | 5       |
| **Small**      | 25 - 49   | 15      |
| **Standard**   | 50 - 99   | 35      |
| **Heavy**      | 100 - 149 | 55      |
| **Large**      | 150 - 499 | 85      |
| **Enterprise** | 500 - 999 | 150     |
| **Titan**      | 1000+     | 250     |

Package count includes both `dependencies` and `devDependencies`.

## Example

A typical Angular project with 75 packages:

```
+--------------------------------------------------+
|                                                  |
|  COST TO ANALYZE:   35 CREDITS                   |
|  PLAN SIZE:         Tier: Standard               |
|                                                  |
+--------------------------------------------------+
```

## When Are Credits Deducted?

Credits are deducted **only when you unlock solutions**:

1. Run `npx depfixer` - **Free** (shows issues)
2. Press Enter to unlock - **Free** (login prompt)
3. Complete login - **Free**
4. Confirm unlock - **Credits deducted**
5. Apply fixes - **Free** (already paid)

## Checking Balance

```bash theme={null}
npx depfixer whoami
```

```

## Tips to Save Credits

1. **Fix issues first** - Run free audit, manually fix easy issues, then pay for remaining
2. **Use passes for regular work** - Unlimited passes pay off after 3-4 Standard projects/month
3. **Batch fixes** - Analyze all your projects, then fix them together
