Common questions

The Credits page in the web app: 412 of 650 credits used, renewing every month, unused credits do not carry over
Still stuck? Ask Carmen →
What does Free include?

Five quick checks a month in the Ask Carmen web app, with no card. It does not include Carmen Monitor, Email or Guardian, or the 650 monthly credits.

Does screening use credits?

No. Carmen Monitor, Carmen Email and Carmen Guardian screen automatically, without limit, and never use credits. Credits are only for the checks you choose to run.

What happens when I run out?

Any packs you bought are used next. After that, extra credits are half a cent each, billed in arrears, but only if you have turned overage on. Screening keeps running whatever happens to your credits.

How does Business billing work?

$9.99 a seat a month with no minimum, or $99.90 a seat a year. Every seat adds 650 credits to one pool the whole company shares.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time. Your plan keeps working until the end of the month or year you have already paid for, and you are not charged again.

Is what I send used to train anything?

No. What you send is used only to answer you. When a domain or number turns out to be a scam, that fact can help the next person’s check. Your content is never used for that.
