The Daily Budget Slider

The daily budget slider controls how many credits discovery is allowed to spend each day. It is your single dial for pace and cost. You find it on the Settings then Discovery page, in the Daily budget card.

How budget turns into leads

Each new lead costs 3 credits, so:

leads per day  ≈  daily budget  ÷  3

The card shows the live estimate as you drag, for example "~16 leads". A higher budget means more leads per day and faster credit burn. A lower budget stretches your credits over more days.

The default for your plan

If you never touch the slider, discovery uses your plan's default daily budget:

Plan	Default daily budget	Leads per day
Free	99 credits	about 33
Starter	50 credits	about 16
Growth	200 credits	about 66

A Reset to default button appears whenever you have set a custom value.

How high you can go

• On the Free plan, the slider goes from 0 up to the default. This protects your one-time credit pool from being spent in a single day.
• On paid plans, the slider goes up to your full available balance (monthly plus any purchased credits). Set it high when you want more leads sooner, lower when you want them spread out.

The card also shows a runway estimate, for example "Your 4,000 credits last about 25 days at this rate", so you can see the trade-off before you save.

Budget is shared across active sources

Your daily budget is split evenly across every active source. Two active sources each get half the budget per day. Keep this in mind when you turn sources on: spreading a small budget across many keywords, creators, and competitors can leave each one with too little to find leads. See set up Discovery Sources.

Set it to 0 to pause

Sliding the budget to 0 stops all discovery for your workspace. Signado asks you to confirm, then no further credits are spent until you raise it again. This is the quickest way to pause everything at once. See pause and resume.
