Pricing
1 Credit = €1 of service purchasing power.
Service cost
TAKE — 1 Credit for 5 guaranteed minutes.
1 Credit currently equals €1 of FIRST FOR NOW service purchasing power. TAKE itself costs 1 Credit. Buying Credits is a separate card purchase.
Credit purchase minimum
Credits are sold in euro amounts.
When payments are open, Credits are offered in these amounts. 1 Credit = €1. The amounts come from the same catalog checkout will use.
| 5 Credits | €5EUR |
|---|---|
| 10 Credits | €10EUR |
| 20 Credits | €20EUR |
| 50 Credits | €50EUR |
| 100 Credits | €100EUR |
A custom amount between 5 and 250 Credits, in whole euros, is also offered when payments are open.
Credit packs currently start at €5. TAKE still costs 1 Credit.
If you buy 5 Credits and spend 1 Credit on TAKE, the remaining Credits stay in your Credit balance. They are not a fee.
Card payments are not open. These figures are prices, not a checkout.

Progressive: each band prices only the hours that fall inside it. Six hours is two at the first rate, three at the second and one at the third.
Progressive locks
Each band prices only its own hours.
A LOCK is not billed at one flat rate. Every hour is charged at the rate of the band it falls into, so buying more hours lowers the marginal rate without repricing the ones you already bought.
| Hours | Total | Per hour |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 40 credits | 40 |
| 2 | 80 credits | 40 |
| 3 | 118 credits | 39.33 |
| 6 | 229 credits | 38.17 |
| 12 | 436 credits | 36.33 |
| 24 | 816 credits | 34 |
| 72 | 2,157 credits | 29.96 |
| 168 | 4,557 credits | 27.13 |
There is no maximum. Any whole number of hours is valid, priced by the same bands.
Battle
A Challenge costs 1 Credit.
When a valid Battle service starts, that 1 Credit buys exactly 3 minutes of guaranteed Battle promotional exposure. A Challenge is not a €1 card checkout. Credit packs start separately. Spectators watch and vote for free. The result does not pay money or Credits.
What you are buying
Position and time. Nothing else.
A purchase buys promotional placement time on FIRST FOR NOW for a stated length of time, and the guarantee that nobody can displace you while it runs. It is not a guarantee of traffic, clicks, attention or sales, and nothing here should be read as one.
