Built-in credit savers

  • Local suggestion first

    Template suggester tries a keyword match before calling AI. Free when confident.

    Re-upload the same photo within 30 min → second extraction is free.

  • Confirm before spend

    High-cost calls show the credit cost before running.

  • No charge on AI failure

    Bedrock errors do not deduct credits.

  • Returning-client free auto-fill

    Skip OCR if the client already exists in your database.

  • Saved drafts cost nothing

    Resume an in-progress act without re-spending.

  • Idle-draft auto-archive

    Drafts inactive for 24h get archived; credits released.

  • Plan-tiered monthly caps

    Solo 1k / Firm 4k / Enterprise 12k. Hit the cap → AI disables for the month, standard features keep working.

The bottom line

You can run a complete Philippine notarial practice on getnotaryo with zero credits beyond your monthly subscription. Credits are an opt-in accelerator for firms where the AI saves more time than it costs.
