A credit covers one file, start to finish: the upload, the read, the returned text, and the deletion afterwards. A ten-page scanned PDF costs the same single credit as a photo of a receipt.

No. Your first extraction can start without an account. An account gives you a visible credit balance and lets paid credits follow you between devices.
Yes. Credits sit on your account, not on a page. One credit is one file, whichever tool you started from.
Polar confirms the payment and securely notifies OCRphoto. Your credits are then added to the account used at checkout. Refresh the page if the balance takes a moment to appear.
Starter credits are intended for ongoing use while OCRphoto is available. If we ever change that policy, we will announce it before applying a shorter expiry.
