AI credits are the currency for all AI-powered features in EcomWize Builder. Every AI operation — from rewriting text to generating images — costs a specific number of credits. Your plan determines how many credits you receive each month.
Credit Allocation by Plan
| Plan | Credits per Month |
|---|
| Free | 250 |
| Starter | 1,000 |
| Pro | 5,000 |
Credits refresh at the beginning of each billing cycle for paid plans. Unused credits do not roll over to the next month.
Credit Costs
Different AI operations consume different amounts of credits based on their computational cost:
| Operation | Credit Cost | Description |
|---|
| Text rewriting | 1 credit | Rewrite a section’s text content using AI prompts |
| Background removal | 1 credit | Remove the background from an image |
| Section generation | 10 credits | AI-generate content for an entire section |
| Page creation | 50 credits | Creating a new page (includes initial setup) |
| Image generation (1K) | 30 credits | Generate a 1024x1024 AI image |
| Image generation (2K) | 60 credits | Generate a 2048x2048 AI image |
Understanding Credit Equivalents
To help you gauge how far your credits go:
250 credits (Free)
- 250 text rewrites, or
- 5 page creations, or
- 8 AI images (1K), or
- 25 section generations
1,000 credits (Starter)
- 1,000 text rewrites, or
- 20 page creations, or
- 33 AI images (1K), or
- 100 section generations
5,000 credits (Pro)
- 5,000 text rewrites, or
- 100 page creations, or
- 166 AI images (1K), or
- 500 section generations
In practice, you will use a mix of operations. A typical page-building session might use 50 credits for page creation, 10-20 credits for text rewrites, and 30-60 credits for an AI image — around 90-130 credits total.
Checking Your Balance
Your current credit balance is visible in the AI Chatbox. The balance updates in real time as credits are consumed.
To check your exact balance:
Open the AI Chatbox
Your remaining credit count is displayed in the AI Chatbox panel.
Check before AI actions
Some UI elements show credit cost information before you confirm an action. For example, the image generation modal displays the credit cost for each resolution option.
What Happens at Zero Credits
When your credit balance reaches zero:
- AI text rewriting will show an error indicating insufficient credits.
- AI image generation will display an error with your remaining balance and the required amount.
- Section generation will add the section without AI-generated content.
- Page creation will fail if you do not have enough credits for the creation cost.
You cannot go into negative credits. Each AI operation checks your balance before processing. If you do not have enough credits, the operation is blocked and no credits are deducted.
Monthly Refresh
For Starter and Pro plans, credits are reset to the full allocation at the beginning of each billing cycle when your subscription renews.
- Starter: Reset to 1,000 credits on renewal
- Pro: Reset to 5,000 credits on renewal
Free Plan Credits
Free plan credits are set to 250. These credits refresh monthly but are intended for exploration and testing, not production use.
Upgrading for More Credits
If you consistently run out of credits before the end of your billing cycle, consider upgrading your plan:
- Free to Starter: 4x more credits (250 to 1,000)
- Starter to Pro: 5x more credits (1,000 to 5,000)
When you upgrade, your credit balance is immediately reset to the new plan’s allocation.
