After that, buy credit packs.<\/li>\n<li>Credit packs come in 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1,000 credits.<\/li>\n<li>Only the account owner or a billing admin can buy credits.<\/li>\n<li>With Tracerfy connected and on, every skip trace anyone on the account runs uses your Tracerfy balance.<\/li>\n<li>If your Tracerfy balance runs out, skip traces stop with a message saying so.
