Q: Hello Team, I received a promotional email from you today titled "Faster Websites, Guaranteed!"
and have some questions about this 'double credits' offer.
Initially I purchased a Tier 4 License on AppSumo back in June this year that gave unlimited sites, unlimited CDN traffic/month + 5M optimization credits/month. Later in July, I purchased an additional 25M optimization credits/month through another one of your promotional email offers.
So in summary, my account now has a total of 30M optimization credits/month + unlimited CDN traffic + unlimited sites, based on the AppSumo deal terms mentioned above.
Upon seeing your email today, it seems you recently revamped your plans/pricing model and I have the following questions on how these changes affect my account and its perks:
1. With the new plans, it seems you're now offering:
- unlimited optimization credits (instead of the previous X credits/month)
- limited quota (i.e. X amount of GB) for CDN traffic (instead of the previous unlimited CDN traffic/month)
Is my understanding of the differences between old and new plans correct? If so:
2. How do your new plans affect my AppSumo deal purchase? The AppSumo deal offered 'all future Professional plan updates' as well as any change to the plan name being mapped to the corresponding new plan name. Is this going to be the 'Growth' plan, then?
3. If so, what happens to my 30M credits/month? Will this automatically get upgraded to 'unlimited' with your new plans taking effect?
4. On the other hand, what happens to the 'unlimited CDN traffic' term offered to AppSumo buyers?
5. How does your promotional offer emailed today with 'double credits' benefit my account? I'm assuming 'double credits' is referring to CDN traffic usage (so it would be 500GB for Growth plan), but as noted above, AppSumo buyers already have "unlimited" CDN traffic/month so this promotional offer doesn't really have any benefit, correct?
6. If I'm understanding all the above terms correctly, all buyers of the AppSumo deal should now be getting a trifecta of unlimited optimization credits + unlimited CDN traffic + unlimited sites, with the higher tiers like Tier 4 getting additional perks like Whitelabel, etc. Is this correct?
Please confirm on the above as these are drastic changes and those like myself who purchaed a bunch of credits (higher AppSumo tiers + any promotional offers) are essentially losing out on the additional money spent to get those extra credits if every AppSumo buyer (even the Tier 1 buyers) now get "unlimited" credits.
I'll be posting this on the Q&A section of your AppSumo product page as well since others may be interested. Thank you and looking forward to your response.

May 17, 2024A: Hi iXzenoS, 👋
We're happy to help!
The introduction of these plans is a step to simplify our pricing model, particularly focusing on new users better understanding credit consumption. Your existing plan would be preserved and there are no changes to the way your credits are consumed or the features you have. Tier 1 and 2 are mapped to the PRO plan (all-access performance) while Tiers 3 and 4 are mapped to the WHITELABEL plan - you'll get all future feature updates accordingly! 🌟
Rest assured, no plan would have unlimited credits, bandwidth and websites simultaneously. While these new plans do have unlimited optimization credits, they also have limits on websites and bandwidth. If you feel that better fits your needs, you're welcome to switch (we’re always flexible and happy to help) but I’d suggest your plan with the unlimited bandwidth benefit! 🚀
Please do let us know if we can help with anything else and we value your suggestions to make credit consumption even easier going forward!
We're grateful for your ongoing support and understanding as we look to grow together! 🙌

Thank you for posting this! I'm also on Tier 4 and want to know how this revamped plan will affect our existing Appsumo/LTD purchases.

Hi James, thank you for the reply.
I’m still a little confused. You mentioned:
“ While these new plans do have unlimited optimization credits, they also have limits on websites and bandwidth.”
However in this revamped lifetime plans on your website, you’re offering unlimited optimization credits with unlimited sites. The only difference seems to be CDN bandwidth which is limited to 1TB for your Agency plan. But if we purchase now, I understand we get double or 2TB bandwidth. Is this correct?
With that said, it seems to come down to 2 choices (in my case, at least):
1. the current unlimited CDN bandwidth with 30M optimization credits, or
2. the new unlimited optimization credits with 2TB CDN bandwidth
And, honestly, I’m not sure how to determine which is better or more cost-effective. Can you advise?

Hi James,
In addition to iXzenoS' query. Now that the limits are different from the previous terms, I'm wondering how are we going to upgrade our current account. Is the Lifetime Access page (https://wpcompress.com/insiders/) now only for new accounts? If not, how would that work if we upgrade? Given that our accounts are using the old terms (i.e. X credits/month and unlimited CDN traffic/month) vs the now (X GB CDN traffic/month and unlimited image optimization)
Thank you!

Hi James,
I am very interested in this discussion because I also bought Tier4 Appsumo and want to upgrade but am still confused about the existing packages and which one is the best for me to choose.
One thing I want to know, what is the difference between 'Optimization Credits' and 'Optimized Pageviews'?
In the first package, you use the term optimization credits with unlimited CDN bandwidth for all user levels (professional, agency, ultimate), while in the other package you use the term optimized pageviews with different CDN bandwidth per month for each user level (starter, growth, agency). Can you explain the difference in more detail?
