Out of credits — what now?
Three options when your balance hits zero, plus how to avoid running out next time.
Hit zero on your credit balance? Three options.
Option 1 — Top up with a credit pack (instant)
Click the credit balance widget in the top right corner. Tap Get more credits. Choose a pack.
- Small — $10 = enough for ~10 features or a few hundred small tweaks
- Medium — $25 = a typical month of moderate building
- Large — $100 = several months for most users
- Custom — pick any amount
Credit packs never expire and they carry over month to month. Use them whenever.
Option 2 — Upgrade your plan (best value if you build often)
If you're regularly running out, you're probably ready for a bigger plan:
- Pro ($20/mo) — 5x the credits of free, plus other goodies
- Team ($49/mo) — even more credits, plus team seats and priority support
Upgrading takes effect immediately. Your new credit bundle is available the moment the upgrade goes through.
Option 3 — Wait for your renewal
Your subscription credits refresh every month on your renewal date. If you're not in a hurry, you can wait.
Check your renewal date in Account → Billing.
What you can still do when you're out of credits
Even with zero credits:
- Your live apps keep working for all your users
- You can publish updates (publishing doesn't use credits)
- You can manage your data (view, edit, export — no credits)
- You can share your app with new users
What you CAN'T do without credits:
- Make new AI-powered changes (every chat message uses credits)
- Generate images
- Connect new integrations
How to avoid running out next time
A few habits that stretch your credits:
- Be specific in prompts — clear asks use fewer credits than vague ones (see How to ask the AI for changes)
- Avoid big rewrites — small targeted changes are cheaper than
redesign the whole app
- Use plan mode for big asks — the AI plans first, so it doesn't waste credits on the wrong approach
- Watch the meter — the credit balance widget warns you at 20% and at 0%
