OBDeleven credits system is probably the number 1 reason people won’t buy OBDeleven. And it is only because they lack information about the credits work.

What are OBDeleven credits?
Credits are currency inside the OBD11 app, used only for a single feature. And that is the OBD11’s one-click applications. Everything else is free of charge; the features depend only on the selected subscription.
| OBD11 feature | Charged with credits? |
| Full scan | – |
| Full live data | – |
| Bi-directional tests | – |
| Freeze frame | – |
| Control unit info | – |
| Auto VIN | – |
| Long coding | – |
| Adaptations | – |
| One-click apps | Yes |
There are a few ways, how to make adjustments to the vehicle without using credits. Read my tips in OBDeleven Review.
What are OBDeleven credits for?
Credits are used to pay for one-click applications that pre-coded tweaks to your car. They are made for users who don’t want to code themselves.
If you do not want to code manually, you can use these prepared apps and pay for them with credits.
How much are OBDeleven credits?
I went on the OBD11 website to find out how much the credits cost. I have never purchased any. I got 500 credits when I bought the device, and after spending them, I learned how to use the app without buying credits.
| 10 credits | $1.99 |
| 100 credits | $17.99 |
| 500 credits | $74.99 |
How to buy OBDeleven credits?
The best price for everything around OBDeleven, including their credits, is always on OBDeleven’s official website.
You can buy a code, which you then redeem in your account on their website. On the website, not in the app.
How to add credits to OBDeleven
If you bought credits from OBD11’s website, they emailed you the code. The OBD11 website adds the credits; log in to your account and go to the app dashboard.
Then just input your code; you will have credits ready when you open the OBD11 app on your phone.
Get an idea of how much you will spend on credits.
See why the best solution is to get either a pro or ultimate plan and either code car yourself or use ultimate for a customizing bunch of cars without spending a fortune on credits.

Hi , thanks for awesome rewiev , im planing to buy obdeleven with pro pack from official website . i want to know does it comes with credit or even if i have bought device + pro pack for 108 usd , i sill need to buy credit or does it comes with amount of credit? 100 or 200 ? i have watched a video on youtube the back of the box says included – obdeleven device, pro plan , and 200 credit – is this the thing?
thank u
You need credit for one-click apps even in pro plan. However you don’t need one-click apps if you have pro, you can just use long coding/adaptation.
İ know , thank uuu , but thats not what im asking . im asking if i have bought from the official web site do i get 100-200 credit after i activate device with my account? or i need to buy them seperately? in a youtube video i do see that back of the box it says ; included : and there is a 200 credit .
I think they stopped doing that. I got 500 credits when I bought it back that was 2 years ago. Now you don’t get any.
