# Usage & billing

> Track your usage, estimate cost, and set scraping limits for your organization

The **Usage** page — labeled **Usage & billing** — shows how much your organization is tracking, an estimate of your monthly cost, and the scraping settings that control how much data CreatorAudit collects. Open it from the **Tools** group in the sidebar.

## Usage views

Toggle between two views:

* **Billable usage** — only the usage that counts toward your cost.
* **All usage** — everything CreatorAudit is tracking, billable or not.

## Estimated monthly cost

An estimated monthly cost card breaks your cost into two parts, each charged at a per-item rate:

* **Account-level posts** — posts collected automatically from tracked [accounts](/dashboard/accounts).
* **Individually-tracked posts** — [individual videos](/dashboard/videos) you add by URL.

The estimate updates as your usage and scraping settings change.

<Note>
  The cost estimate is an estimate based on your current tracking. To discuss pricing
  for your organization, contact
  [support@creatoraudit.com](mailto:support@creatoraudit.com).
</Note>

## Usage breakdown

Below the estimate you'll find:

* **Per-platform cards** — Instagram and TikTok usage shown separately.
* **An organization card** — workspace totals such as members and [API keys](/dashboard/api-keys).

## Scraping settings

The **Scraping settings** section sets the **organization defaults** for how much CreatorAudit collects. You can optionally:

* **Cap recent posts per account** — limit how many recent posts are collected for each account.
* **Limit by post age** — only collect posts newer than a chosen age. Preset buttons make this quick: **30 days**, **90 days**, **6 months**, or **1 year**.

Click **Save** to apply your changes.

### Defaults vs. per-account overrides

These settings are organization-wide defaults. Any account can override them on its own [account detail](/dashboard/accounts) page — set a per-account maximum posts and lookback, and that account uses its override instead of the org default. Accounts without an override inherit whatever you set here.

<Tip>
  Tightening these limits reduces how many posts are collected, which lowers your
  estimated cost. Loosen them when you need deeper history for an account or platform.
