Credit & Billing
Pindo is pay-as-you-go. Your organization holds a prepaid balance (shown in the dashboard sidebar), and each message draws from it at a per-segment price.
Add credit
Top up from Billing → Add Credit, or the Add Credit button next to your balance in the sidebar.
Enter your card
Type your card number, or use Autofill to fill it from your browser. Tick Remember this card to save it for next time.
Choose an amount
Enter the amount in USD. The minimum top-up is $5.
Confirm
Click Add Credit. Your new balance is available immediately.
Crediting history
The Crediting History section lists every top-up.
- Filter by a start and end date, then click Search.
- An empty range shows No transactions found.
How charges work
Over API, every successful send returns a cost breakdown and your remaining balance, so you can track spend in real time.
