How Message Credits Work
Voice XO uses credits instead of unlimited messaging because unlimited messaging is what makes mass outreach viable. When sending a first message costs nothing, the rational strategy is to send hundreds, and the inbox on the receiving side stops being worth reading.

How it works
On the free plan you receive three voice-approach credits every twenty-four hours. Starting a new conversation costs one credit; replying inside an existing conversation is free. Premium removes the daily limit.
If a paid approach becomes undeliverable because the recipient blocks the sender, the credit is returned automatically. You are charged for reaching someone, not for the attempt being refused.
Credits are deliberately scarce so that a message you receive means someone chose to spend one on you.
Where this fits in Voice XO
Voice XO is a voice-first dating app: members record a voice introduction of up to sixty seconds, and that recording is what others browse. Opening a new conversation costs one voice-approach credit, the free plan includes three every twenty-four hours, and replies inside an existing conversation are free.
ID verification is available to every member and required before upgrading or buying credits. Recordings are screened for synthetic speech, profile media is private and served through signed links, and conversations are end-to-end encrypted.
Voice XO compared with photo-first dating apps
| What matters | Voice XO | Photo-first apps |
|---|---|---|
| How Message Credits Work | Built into the core product flow, not an add-on | Usually absent, or sold as a paid extra |
| First impression | A voice introduction of up to sixty seconds | A filtered photo and a short bio |
| Cost of a first message | One voice-approach credit — three free every 24 hours | Free and unlimited, so inboxes fill with copy-paste |
| Identity | ID verification available to every member; age is set from the verified document | Self-reported age, verification usually optional or cosmetic |
| Synthetic media | Every recording screened for synthetic speech before delivery | No screening for AI-generated photos or audio |
| Media storage | Private buckets served through short-lived signed links | Publicly reachable image URLs |
| Message privacy | Conversations are end-to-end encrypted | Messages readable server-side |
