Does the below answer your question? -- at Digital Content
I have looked at the Pro and its about as clear as mud!!!! So, no, can't see the answer there. I can't see where it gives any info on renewing credits and how to obtain them. OK, you get 200 with the pro license but what do you do after that? I may have missed something, So a clear and concise explanation of how the OBD eleven system works re credits would be very helpful.Does the below answer your question? -- at Digital Content
Thanks Bri
Probably can't give clear and concise explanation but anyways I'll try not to confuse even more.
Perhaps the easiest way to obtain the credits is within the ODEleven application - after you have purchased, activated and are logged into your Pro account. The app takes you to Google Play Store for the payment and go from there.
EDIT: Actually I'm not sure that you even need the Pro account (the 24.99€ activation thingy) for this.
I'd guess you can do essentially the same through purchasing at website - the credits will be linked into your Pro account.
----
The credits are needed to use so called "Apps" within OBDeleven. The Apps which are just "one click functions" to code or adapt things. For the nerds using Apps there is no additional value. Everything can be done using coding and/or adaptations of the control modules themselves.
Then re T6 - at the moment there are not many Apps for T6 (just 4+2). Actually I'm not sure if any of them works on T6 - except the oil service and inspection service resets - of course. But as they can be reset using MFSW/stalk buttons not much added value there.
The above applies also to T6.1 - at the moment.
----
However, for more modern platforms than T6 there are more Apps already available, e.g. even old Golf (MY2014) more than 70 Apps. But again - doable through codings and adaptations.
----
Anyways, the Apps is just a glimpse of OBDeleven's capabilities. The real power is in other areas...
etc, etc,...
And, just a glimpse (1 of 3 screens) of deep waters of T6 EU6 diesel engine functions - probably not everyone's cup of tea

Credits are not required at all
The only purpose of credits is to get the machine to do things for you, often a retrofit or some other change requires multiple coding steps to complete so instead of logging into several control unit and performing various coding changes you can use 'credits' and use an 'app' to perform all changes at the click of a button

So you just need to buy the device off the obdeleven website €44.83? Then if you’re happy with coding (?) you can do everything for free? Are there any other/cheaper OBD2 devices that work with the obdeleven app?
Just the device = Basic features = No Coding, no adaptation.
The device + Pro Activation (24.99€) = "More with Pro" = "Everything"
OBDeleven PRO - use pro license to unlock hidden features in your Car
OBDeleven PRO license provides the functionality of complex and expensive diagnostic systems allowing to unlock hidden features and activate more functions
OBDeleven is cloud-based service so Internet connection is needed. The app does not work on any other OBD device.
For T6 codings I would trust in the T6Forum.com Actually quite a few codings originated from OBDeleven Forum have been adopted here:

VCDS codes list
Posting this here as I believe it contains codes previously undocumented on the forum. It comes from the the OBDeleven forum, with extra functions added to the list by the poster Oberon. I'm posting as is and take no responsibility for the accuracy of the data. Central electrics control unit...www.t6forum.com

Are there any recommendations on which OBD Eleven to buy? Don't want to pay over £100 or I may as well go the whole hog and get VCDS on the 3 vin.

If we stick with T6 (or T6.1) the meaningful packages would be:
Either
(A) PRO license Activation (24.99€) + OBDeleven device (39.99€=just the device (previous generation)).
This package is for Android only!
or
(B) PRO license Activation (24.99€) + Starter Pack (69.99€= just the device).
or
(C) PRO pack (99.99€ - includes PRO license activation) - which is essentially the same as (B) + more "credits".
Worth noting that the PRO license is the key thing - it will work on any OBDeleven device. The license is not VIN limited.
Another worth to note is that Golf MY20 is based on a new architecture and is not yet supported (even not by VCDS).
I've got the (A) - as the next generation device wasn't available back then.

Every time when you use the app - e.g. for "Oil service reset" you need 10 credits for each reset.
However all the functionality of the apps can be done "manually" - just involves more steps & some know-how
as mentioned above https://t6forum.com/threads/obd-eleven-and-credits.19676/post-269654Thanks! I want to try the folding mirror thing when I lock the van. So let’s say I spend x credits for that. What if the following week I want to turn that off, does that spend credits?Every time when you use the app - e.g. for "Oil service reset" you need 10 credits for each reset.

EDIT : Okay I think I get it - so you spend credits every time you run a sequence of program/coding - so in theory if I want to enable and disable a functionality (like mirrors dipping in reverse), I would spend the credit cost twice right?
Thanks for this thread - I'd been looking at what system to use and had assumed that the credits would "buy" the one click app. That seems intuitive as many of the options are a bit "marmite" and you need to try them both ways for a bit to see what suits.
One Click Action might have been a more accurate term, as would a clearer explanation that it is pay per click. The lack of clarity is really off putting personally.
