Connection Credits

Makini uses a credit-based system to manage connections. Each connection to a third-party platform consumes credits from your account based on the platform's tier.

Platform Tiers#

All supported platforms are grouped into three tiers based on public availability, API complexity, and general adoption.
TierCredits per Connection
Tier I1 credit
Tier II2 credits
Tier III4 credits
To check which tier a specific platform belongs to, visit the Makini pricing page.
Trial accounts start with 1 credit, which is enough to connect one Tier I platform.

How Credits Are Consumed#

Credits are deducted from your account when a connection is established. For example, connecting to a Tier II platform will consume 2 credits. If your account does not have enough credits, the connection will be marked as Inactive.
On paid accounts, inactive connections can be reactivated as Overage — contact your account details or refer to your plan terms for specifics.
