Two Starter packs provide 20 credits for $457.80 USD, leaving 3 credits after a 17-credit allocation. One Growth pack provides 25 credits for $547.50, leaving 8. Growth has a lower unit rate, while the two Starter packs require less money for this particular purchase. Those are different measures of value.
Compare whole packs
The published packages are sold as stated quantities, so begin with the number of complete packs needed. One Starter pack contains 10 credits and cannot cover a 17-credit requirement by itself. Two provide 20. One Growth pack contains 25, so it also covers the requirement without combining packages. This comparison assumes those published pack quantities.
Show the cash difference
Two Starter packs cost 2 × $228.90 = $457.80. Growth costs $547.50. The additional purchase outlay for Growth is therefore $89.70. It buys five more credits than the two Starter packs. A lower price per credit does not automatically make the larger total the right purchase for every business.
Keep the unused balance visible
After allocating 17 credits, the two options leave 3 and 8 credits respectively. Show those balances beside the purchase totals rather than hiding them inside an average. Unused credits are not the same as cash in a bank account. Expiry, transfer and refund arrangements need their own confirmed terms; none are assumed by this calculation.
Make the decision from real demand
If further confirmed allocations are close, the additional Growth balance may be useful. If the requirement is limited to this batch, a smaller outlay may matter more. Separate confirmed work, possible enquiries and speculative demand. Do not turn a few conversations into a guaranteed sales forecast or purchase extra credits solely because the unit rate is lower.

An example to work through
A reseller with no available credits and exactly 17 credits of planned work can compare $457.80 with 3 remaining against $547.50 with 8 remaining. An existing free balance would change the purchase requirement and should be deducted first.
