Why credit-based pricing beats seat licenses

Align spend with usage, not headcount. How ManifestScope prices value.

Traditional trade-data products often charge per seat. That punishes collaboration: inviting a teammate raises the bill even if they barely search.

ManifestScope takes a different approach. Every paid plan includes unlimited users. You pay for a monthly credit grant. Search, export, API, MCP, and agent turns draw from the same org wallet.

When credits run out, billable data actions pause — you top up or upgrade. Account actions (billing, upgrades, disputes) stay free. The result: revenue tracks actual intelligence consumed, not how many people have a login.
