How credits work
Credits keep the exchange fair. What earns them, what costs them, and where to follow your balance.
Credits are Podavera's currency: nobody gets engagement without giving some. The extension likes and comments on other members' posts, which earns you credits, and you spend them to boost your own posts.
You earn
| Action | Credits |
|---|---|
| A like given by your extension | +1 |
| A comment given by your extension | +3 |
| Welcome bonus, at the end of sign-up (once) | +20 |
| Growth plan, at each monthly renewal | +1,000 |
Credits for a like or a comment are added when the extension confirms the action went through on LinkedIn. A task that fails earns nothing.
You spend
| What you ask for | Credits |
|---|---|
| A like received on your post | 1 |
| A comment received on your post | 3 |
A boost's total cost shows on the wizard's last step, before you confirm. It is debited in one go when the boost starts. For example, 20 likes and 2 comments cost 20 + 2 × 3 = 26 credits.
If your balance doesn't cover the total cost, the boost is refused: lower the number of likes or comments, or earn credits first.
Scale plan: unlimited credits
On the Scale plan, your boosts aren't deducted from your balance. They still show in your history.
Follow your balance
- Your balance always shows at the top of the menu, in the Credits box. On mobile, it's in the top bar.
- The Credits page (app.podavera.com/credits) sums up what you earn and spend, the total earned since you joined, and your Transaction History.
Transaction types in the history:
| Type | What it is |
|---|---|
| Sign-up Bonus | The 20 welcome credits. |
| Like Given / Comment Given | What your extension earned you. |
| Like Requested | The cost of a boost (likes and comments together). |
| Refund | Likes or comments not delivered, see Refunds. |
| Plan credits | The Growth plan's monthly credits. |
| Added by Podavera / Removed by Podavera | A manual adjustment by our team, with its reason. |
Your credits don't expire and stay on your account if you change or cancel your plan.
Earn more credits
- Keep Chrome open with the extension on: it only works while Chrome is running. See Install the extension.
- Keep Auto-Like and Auto-Comment on: a comment earns three times as much as a like.
- Pick several interests: you're in more pods, so you get more tasks.
