Buying a launch

One launch is a flat one-time price, and credits never expire. Here is where to buy one, how checkout works, and where your balance and receipts live.

Last updated June 22, 2026

A launch is the flagship purchase in Nilkick, and it is kept deliberately simple: a flat one-time price for one launch, with nothing recurring and no expiry. (The Reddit warm-up is a second one-time add-on, and the Scout is a separate monthly subscription; this article covers the launch.)

01 · The priceWhat it costs

One launch is $15, one-time. That covers a single launch end to end. There are no tiers and nothing recurring. If you launch another product later, that is another launch at the same flat price.

Credits never expire, so buying one you do not use immediately is fine. It waits until you need it.

02 · CheckoutHow to buy one

You can buy a launch from the Billing page, or you will be prompted to buy one when you go to start a launch without a credit. Either way, checkout runs through Stripe:

  1. You click to buy a launch.
  2. Stripe’s secure checkout opens for the payment.
  3. On success, the credit lands in your account and you are returned to Nilkick.

Nilkick never handles your card directly. Stripe takes care of the payment and simply confirms it succeeded.

03 · Tracking itYour balance and receipts

The Billing page shows your current credit balance at the top, and your purchase history below it: each purchase with its date, amount, and status. That is where to look to confirm a payment went through or to check what you have bought.

Buying does not start a launch

Buying a credit and starting a launch are two separate steps. A purchased credit sits in your balance until you choose to spend it by starting a launch. See how launch credits work for the difference.

FAQ

Common questions

No. A launch is a one-time purchase: you pay once, nothing about it recurs or renews, and a credit you do not use simply waits for you. Buy a launch when you have a product ready to push.

How launch credits work
A launch credit is what you spend to put one product in front of real audiences. One credit covers one launch: the ranked venues, a draft for each, and the workspace to ship them. Scanning is always free.
Refunds and when a credit is locked
A credit is spent when you start a launch and is locked once posts begin going out. Credits never expire. Here is the simple line between an uncommitted credit and a used one, and how to reach us if something went wrong.
Free report vs a paid launch
The readiness report is free and unlimited. A launch is the paid part, where Nilkick builds your venue plan and drafts every post. Here is exactly where the line sits and what each side gives you.
Buying a Reddit warm-up
A warm-up is a flat one-time price, separate from a launch, paid through Stripe. It uses its own credit, so buying a warm-up and buying a launch are tracked apart. Here is what it costs, how to buy one, and where your balance lives.
