Billing and minutes
Running out of minutes
What happens when your balance runs low or out, and how to keep studies running.
Running low
The header always shows how many minutes you have left. When you get low, the dashboard shows a banner and we email you, at most once per billing period.
Running out
- Interviews already in progress always finish.
- New participants see “This study isn’t accepting participants right now.” They never see anything about your billing.
- Your dashboard says new participants can’t join, and we email you when someone couldn’t start (at most once a day).
- Starting a new study asks you to add minutes first.
Keep studies running
- Buy a minute pack for an instant top-up.
- Choose or upgrade a plan. Upgrading mid-month adds the extra minutes straight away.
- Turn on overage if you have a plan.
If interviews used more than your balance, the billing page shows it as “Used past balance”, and it comes out of the next minutes you get.
