How AI credits work
Every AI edit uses a small amount of credit, usually a few cents. New accounts get $1.00 free and hosting plans include monthly credits. If you run out, message us and we top you up.
Credits pay for the AI that builds and edits your site. They are counted in dollars.
What uses credits
Building and editing your site with the AI uses credits. Each AI request costs twice what the AI provider charges us. A typical edit costs a few cents.
Your free credit
New visitors get a one time $1.00 credit to start building. It is given once per network, so a second free build from the same network asks you to sign in.
Monthly credits with hosting
Your hosting plan includes monthly credits that cover normal editing. They are added with each payment.
Check your balance and usage
Open Account. Credit Balance shows what you have left. Usage lists each AI request with its cost, for the last 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days.
If you run out
When your balance reaches zero, the AI stops and you see "You're out of credits for now". There is no button to buy credits. Press "Chat with us" and a real person replies, or call or text us. We add more so you can keep building.
Questions
Can I buy more credits?
Not in the app. Message us and we top you up.
Do the free tools use credits?
No. The free tools never use credits.
Do collaborators use my credits?
Yes. AI edits made by collaborators on your site are charged to the site owner.
