# Broadcast Credits

> Understand how broadcast credits work, how many you get each month, and how to top up when you need more.

## Overview

Each message sent through bulk messaging consumes one credit from your account. Credits are separate from your regular WhatsApp usage and apply only to bulk message sends.

## Monthly Credits

* You receive **3,000 credits per user + additional phone** in your workspace every month
* You do not receive credits for the first free phone in your workspace
* Credits reset on your monthly billing date

**Example:** If you have 5 users, you receive 15,000 credits per month.

## Topup Credits

If you run out of monthly credits, you can purchase additional topup credits.

* Navigate to `Settings > Manage Plans > Topup Credits`
* Topup credits cost **\$0.006 (0.6 cents) per message**
* Topup credits never expire and roll over to the next month
