AI Credits

AI credits are used when you interact with AI features in the editor or inside apps. Different AI operations use different amounts of credits.

What Credits Are

AI credits measure platform AI usage. They are consumed by operations such as editor chat, app chat, text generation, web search, image generation, video generation, speech generation, and web content extraction.

Your apps continue to work when credits run low, but AI-powered features may be unavailable until you receive more credits, buy a credit pack, or upgrade your plan.

Period Credits and Credit Balance

Your available AI credits can come from two places:

  • Period credits are the recurring credits included with your current plan. Free accounts receive a daily allocation, while paid plans receive a monthly allocation, including plans billed yearly. Period credits are used first, reset at the start of each new usage period, and do not roll over.
  • Credit balance is made up of additional credits, such as credits from one-time packs or rewards. These credits are used only after your period allocation runs out. They do not reset or expire.

Your credit reset is separate from your subscription renewal. For example, a yearly subscription is billed once per year, but its period credits still reset monthly.

The Credits page shows how many period credits you have used, your remaining credit balance, and the exact date and time when your current allocation resets. If both your period credits and credit balance run out, AI-powered features pause until your allocation resets or you add more credits.

Where Credits Are Used

Credits are used in two main places:

  • The editor: creating apps, modifying features, fixing bugs, and using AI to help build.
  • Published or installed apps: using AI features that the app provides, such as chat, generation, analysis, search, or media creation.

Heavier operations usually cost more. For example, advanced models, image generation, video generation, and web search can use more credits than simple text requests.

Shared Apps

Each user consumes their own AI credits. If someone else uses an app you published, their AI interactions use their credits, not yours. If you use another creator's app, your AI interactions use your credits.

When you use AI features in another creator's app, the platform may add a creator premium on top of the base AI cost. That premium rewards the creator who built the app experience. Learn more in Usage Rewards.

Managing Usage

Use the Credits page in the app to view your period usage, credit balance, next reset, and usage history. Your usage history shows which operation types are consuming credits. Account settings show your current subscription tier and billing controls.

To reduce usage, choose lighter AI features when they are enough, avoid repeated unnecessary AI calls, and design apps to reuse results where appropriate.
