A credit unlocks premium features for one tournament. You pay once. You do not need a subscription.
What one credit gives you
No ads.
Up to 32 teams.

A credit is for personal use only. It does not include a commercial license. For commercial events, use a Pro or Business plan.
Some features need a paid plan, not a credit. Examples are the court system, referee mode, player links, and custom schedule. See Plans and limits.
