GCoins basics
GCoins, Gold and tool credits: what is the difference?
GCoins are earned reward points. Gold is a paid recurring plan that gives monthly credits across the career tools. Tool credits are bought on their own for a single tool. They are three separate things.

| Where you see it | GCoins | Manage your products | Manage your products |
| What it unlocks | Nothing you pay for at checkout | Monthly credits across the career tools | That one tool only |
| Renews | No | Yes, until cancelled | No |
