British Newspaper Archive- what do credits mean?

[daggers]

I found it hard to read on their site, or on Findmypast, how many credits are used per page read. I know the index is free, but want to estimate the best subscription.
Any help from existing users?

The British Newspaper Archive seems to price by the number of days.

12 months - Unlimited Pages - £79.95
30 day - Only up to 600 pages - £29.95 3000 credits - 0.009983333p per credit so 0.049916667p per page
7 day - Only up to 120 pages - £9.95 600 credits - 0.016583333p per credit so 0.082916667p per page
2 day - Only up to 100 pages - £6.95 500 credits - 0.0139p per credit so 0.0695p per page

So all cost 5 credits per page - only if my maths are correct??

Thank you, Mary.
Possibly more than buying the paper when it was published, per view. Not bad in today's terms, I suppose.

Yes but at the library time limits apply, we have to transcribe everything (the snipping tool in Win 8 is excellent) and I find the library kit is slow.
Looks like a dip into the piggy bank.
