# AI credits

> How AI credits work when using the page builder, content assistant, and other AI features.

**AI credits** meter your use of AI-powered features — the page builder chat, content entry assistant, onboarding prompts, and similar tools.

## What uses credits?

| Feature                | Typical use                                                            |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Onboarding chat**    | Initial project setup suggestions                                      |
| **Page builder chat**  | Each message you send to design or edit a page (\~1 credit on average) |
| **Content entry chat** | Drafting or refining CMS entry fields                                  |

Credits scale with **task complexity**. Simple requests ("make the button blue") use fewer credits than large rewrites ("rebuild the entire homepage").

## Monthly allowance by plan

| Plan       | AI credits / month      |
| ---------- | ----------------------- |
| Free       | 5                       |
| Starter    | 20                      |
| Growth     | 100                     |
| Pro        | 400                     |
| Enterprise | Usage-based / unlimited |

View your **remaining balance** in the dashboard (usage section on your account or project).

<Note>
  Unused credits **do not roll over** to the next month. They reset on your
  billing cycle.
</Note>

## Tips to use credits wisely

<Tip>
  **Be specific:** *"Change the hero headline to Welcome to Acme"* costs less
  than *"redo everything."*
</Tip>

<Tip>
  **Use the visual editor** for small tweaks (text, links, images) — no credits
  needed.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  **Iterate in chunks:** Build one section at a time instead of asking for a
  full multi-page site in one prompt.
</Tip>

## Choosing an AI model

**Starter plan and above** can choose which AI model powers the builder. Different models may vary in speed, style, and credit cost for complex tasks.

Free plan uses the default model.

## Running out of credits

When your monthly credits are exhausted:

* AI chat features pause until the next cycle or you upgrade / purchase additional credits (when available).
* Everything else keeps working — published sites, CMS, forms, store, manual editing.
