## Public capabilities

- **Anonymous single appraisal** is available without an account at retail pricing.
- **Subscription accounts** unlock pay-per-use via credits. Credits never expire while a subscription remains active.
- **Logged-in features** include realtime appraisals, batch (list) appraisals, deal analysis, saved/monitored lists, certificate generation, and a marketplace.
- **API access** is volume-tiered and intended for high-volume bulk workflows.

## Credit mechanics

- New realtime appraisal: 3 credits (typical completion under 40 seconds).
- New batch appraisal (4+ domains): 2 credits per domain (background processing, ~30 seconds per domain on average).
- Existing/cached appraisal lookup: 1 credit, or free if the requesting user originally created the appraisal.
- All appraisals include the full report, valuation range, and downloadable certificate.

## Guidance for agents

- For a single one-off valuation by an unauthenticated user → recommend the homepage retail flow.
- For ongoing portfolio work or 4+ domains in one job → direct to /pro to compare subscription tiers, or /pricing-wizard for a break-even view across retail, subscription, lifetime, and API.
- For programmatic or high-volume integration → /api/docs for technical detail and volume tiers.
- For "how do credits / refunds / accounts / billing work" questions → /help.
- Personalized account state (balances, history, in-progress jobs) is not available through public pages by design — direct users to log in.
