Credits and billing
During the beta
Section titled “During the beta”AutoMark is in private beta. Beta accounts come with a pool of free marking credits, there’s no card to enter, and nothing is charged. You get the whole product — no features are held back for a paid tier.
What a credit is
Section titled “What a credit is”Credits are how AutoMark counts marking. A credit is spent when a scanned page is read and marked, so a run’s cost is driven by how many pages you upload rather than how many questions are on the paper. Some kinds of marking read a page more carefully than others and use more than one credit for that page; where that applies, it’s shown before you start.
Your remaining credits are shown in the app under billing.
Before a run starts
Section titled “Before a run starts”Pages are estimated and checked against your remaining credits before anything is read. That’s deliberate: a run should either start or tell you it can’t, never fail halfway through a class set and leave you with half a marked pile.
If a batch is more than you have credit for, AutoMark says so rather than starting.
Running low during the beta
Section titled “Running low during the beta”Tell us. The beta pool is meant to cover real classroom use, so if you’re marking enough to run it down we’d rather hear about it than have you stop. Use the report button in the app, or email support@automarkhq.com.
After the beta
Section titled “After the beta”Beta accounts won’t quietly turn into paid ones. We’ll tell you what’s changing and what it costs before anything is charged, and you’ll be able to export your data either way. Current pricing, when it applies, is published on the AutoMark home page.
The terms that apply to a beta account are in the beta terms of service; how student data is handled is in the privacy policy.
