What are Job Credits, and how do they work?

Job Credits are used when you apply for new job contracts on Cad Crowd.



What is the monthly Job Credit quota?

You receive 30 new Job Credits per month, and each job application uses 1 Job Credit (refilled monthly). The Job Credits help limit spam job applications and ensure clients receive more personalized proposals for a job post.

๐Ÿ›ฐ๏ธ Tip: Your Job Credits are automatically refilled to 30 on the first of each month, regardless of whether you used any credits in the previous month, no matter when you start applying. For example, if you start applying on July 25th and use 5 credits that month, your credits will be refilled to 30 on August 1st. This reduces spam and low-effort applications while improving match quality for clients.

How do I get unlimited Job Credits?

Experts with a Top Designer badge, $500+ in lifetime earnings, or 5+ contracts get unlimited applications with no quota.

How many Job Credits do I have left?

Currently, every job contract application costs 1 Job Credit. You can see your remaining Job Credits when you apply to a job listing (see below) and in your applications dashboard.

What happens when I have 0 remaining job credits?

If you run out of Job Credits, you need to wait until your monthly refill before you can resume applying to jobs. The quota stops low-quality AI-slop applications from overwhelming clients’ job posts.
