Top-up packs
If you’ve used your monthly allowance — or you’d rather not subscribe at all — you can buy a top-up pack. Top-ups are one-off bundles of submissions that don’t expire and stack on top of your other balances.
When top-ups make sense
- Mock season — you’ll mark a lot this fortnight, then not for months
- Occasional use — you only do a few assessments a year
- End-of-cycle top-up — you’ve used your monthly allowance and have a deadline
For regular monthly marking, a subscription is usually better value than top-ups.
How to buy a top-up pack
- Open Settings → Billing.
- Click Top up (or the Buy submissions option in the cap-reached modal).
- Pick a pack size from the options shown.
- Confirm and complete payment.
The credits are added to your account immediately after payment.
Pack sizes and pricing
Marking.ai offers a few sizes — typically a small pack, a popular mid-size pack, and a larger pack for bulk needs. Larger packs cost less per submission than smaller ones. The exact options and prices are shown in the modal.
Important: top-ups alone don’t unlock everything
If you don’t have an active subscription, top-ups give you the marking experience but a few features stay locked:
- Marko, your AI assistant
- Class summaries (the bulk PDF export)
- Advanced analytics
If you want the full Marking.ai experience, you’ll need a subscription. Top-ups stack on top of that for extra capacity. The full feature surface is available on every paid plan.
Do top-ups expire?
No. Top-up submissions stay on your account indefinitely.

FAQs
Can I buy a top-up before my subscription runs out?
Yes — top-ups stack with your monthly allowance. They’ll just sit there until you need them.
Will my top-ups carry across plan changes?
Yes — top-ups are independent of your subscription. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel and they stay.
Can I get a refund if I bought a top-up by mistake?
Drop us a line at connect@marking.ai and we’ll sort it out within reason.
