Credit usage and billing, explained
In a usage-based product, the billing page is where you answer three questions: how much is left, what used it, and when will we need more. Tools that bury usage in a monthly invoice make spend feel unpredictable, even when it is not.
Proofsource answers all three on one page. The balance and plan sit at the top, usage breaks down by person, agent and sheet, and an outlook projects the date credits run out at the current pace. The credit calculator reads your last 30 days and estimates the plan or pack that fits, and a plain explanation says how far your credits go in everyday terms.
You are warned before you run dry: an amber credits row in the sidebar, an email as you approach and reach your period's credits, and a plain notice before paid tracking ends. Plan changes, cancellation, payment issues and invoices live on the same page.
