TinyPNG counts every WordPress thumbnail as a separate credit. A single upload burns 7 credits. Tempaloo counts the upload itself — 1 credit per photo, all sizes bundled. The math is brutal.
Every WordPress upload generates 6–8 thumbnail sizes (full, large, medium, medium_large, thumbnail, theme sizes, plus WooCommerce/Elementor extras). It's invisible to your editors. It's not invisible to your billing.
Drag the slider to your monthly upload volume. We'll do the math (assuming a typical 7 thumbnails per upload).
No fluff — what you get in each plugin, side by side.
