Frequently asked questions

You can pay with credits at all newspapers and magazines affiliated with Creditable.

As soon as you hit the paywall, you can either choose to subscribe to that newspaper or magazine (to access all of their articles) or pay via Creditable for just that one article. If you only want to pay for that one article, simply click on the Creditable button. Credits will then be debited from your Creditable balance, and you can get started immediately on reading the article!

As soon as you create an account at Creditable, you can buy credits. There are several bundles available to choose from. Have you run out of credits? It’s completely up to you whether or not you buy a new bundle of credits.

The publisher of the newspaper or magazine who owns the article you’re after decides how many credits viewing it will cost. This is entirely their choice, and will vary - Creditable has absolutely no influence on this.

The price for a single credit depends on which bundle you choose. On choosing a larger bundle, the price of a single credit will be cheaper than if you’d bought a smaller bundle. 

Your purchased credits are valid indefinitely. However, your Creditable account is valid for 1 year. When you make a payment using credits, your account is automatically renewed for 1 year from that date.

No, it’s not yet possible to automatically top up your credits. At Creditable there are no ties or automatic renewals. Are all your credits spent? Then it’s entirely up to you whether to buy a new bundle or not.

Authors and journalists, with all due diligence, put long hours and extensive research into their articles. It’s only fair to reimburse them for costs incurred in their hard work. Normally, to view an article, you’d have to take out a subscription for that newspaper or magazine. Through Creditable an new extra service has been added: you no longer have to take out a subscription, you can just pay for the article you’re interested in.

The number of Credits you pay for an article is determined by the newspaper or magazine itself. The content of an article is also determined by the publisher. Creditable has absolutely no influence on this. If an article did not meet your expectations, we’re incredibly sorry, however, credits will not be refunded.

The publisher of the newspaper or magazine determines how long you’ll have access to an article. In the Creditable app you can see how long you have left to view the article. If you no longer have access to an article, you can pay to view it again using credits.

Yes, Creditable was created exactly for you! You don’t have to subscribe to different newspapers and magazines, but through Creditable, you can still view articles. If it turns out that you read a lot of articles from one particular newspaper or magazine, we’ll let you know, so you could consider getting a subscription. The choice is always yours!

Yes, Creditable is also perfect for you! You decide how many credits you buy. If you don’t read much, you can buy a small bundle. Your credits are valid indefinitely, but your account at Creditable is only valid for 1 year. To keep your account active, you’ll have to view an article using credits, at least once a year.

Creditable could be of great use to you if you’re not yet ready to take out a subscription. With Creditable you pay per article, and there’s no tie ins. If the cost of the credits you use turns out to be higher than the cost of a subscription to the newspaper or magazine in question, you may want to consider taking out a subscription. For a subscription we refer you to the publisher of the newspaper or magazine.

If, for example, your Google newsfeed often shows premium articles, Creditable is perfect for you. You can still read the article by paying with credits. You don’t have to create an account or subscribe to the news provider. This is fine, but paying with credits is way easier. You’re always in control, and never tied into anything!

Yes, you must always be logged in to pay with credits from Creditable. If you’re not logged in, the Creditable button on the payment wall will display as blue. After logging in, the button will be green and your credit balance will be visable.

Once you’ve logged into Creditable, your device will remember this for other websites. This makes things easy, because if you come up against a pay wall, you’re able to get immediate access to the article, simply by clicking the Creditable button. This means you don’t have drop everything and go to log in before you’re able to continue. You’ll always clearly see your current credit balance before you decide to press the Creditable button to pay.

Your Creditable account is valid for 1 year. When you decide to pay for an article using credits, your account term will immediately be renewed for 1 more full year. So, making sure you pay for an article with Credits at least once a year will keep your account and Credit balance fully active.

If you decide not to pay for any articles with credits for 1 full year, your account will be deleted. Don’t worry, we’ll email you to warn you before any account deletion actually happens. If you don’t want your account to be terminated, you’ll have to pay for an article using credits as soon as possible. If you decide not to take action, your account will be deleted and any credits will expire. Upon account deletion your expired credits will not be refunded.

To read premium news and articles at newspapers or magazines you usually have to pay. You hit a paywall where the publisher will usually offer you a subscription. But sometimes you don’t need or want a subscription. What if you only want to read that one article? Creditable is the perfect solution!

You just pay to view that one article using credits from Creditable. Your credits are valid with loads of publishers, so you can pick and choose the very best articles from lots of different newspapers and magazines. And if it happens that you keep coming back to one particular newspaper or magazine, you can always consider taking out a subscription. 

We live times in which fake news and disinformation are commonly spread. We think it’s really important to be able to give readers more choice over which (news) sources they decide to read articles from. Creditable’s pay per article system makes it easier to check opposing media viewpoints, so readers can make up their own minds about whose ‘truth’ is actually true.

That is why several large publishers are affiliated with Creditable, so that you have the widest possible choice of media titles.

If the Creditable button is displaying blue, that means you’re not logged in. Either log in to your account, or create a new account if you don’t have one yet.

If the Creditable button is displaying orange, that means you don’t have enough credits available to view the article. Don’t worry! You can easily buy new credits by clicking the orange button.
