Credits per plan
Each plan comes with a fixed number of credits that renew at the start of every billing period.Monthly credits reset on your billing renewal date, not on the first of the calendar month. On paid Genie plans, unused credits from the previous period roll over to the next cycle — see Credit rollover below. Starter credits expire at the end of each period.
The Starter daily limit
On the Starter plan, you can use a maximum of 7 credits per day, even though your monthly allowance is 35. This daily cap resets at midnight UTC. Once you hit the daily limit, Genie will not generate or update your app until the next day. If you need to work without a daily cap, upgrading to any paid Genie plan removes this restriction entirely.Credit rollover
On all paid Genie plans — Genie, Genie Plus, Genie Pro, and Genie Ultra — unused monthly credits carry forward into the next billing cycle instead of expiring at renewal. If you build less than usual one month, those leftover credits are available the following month. Rolled-over credits are spent first, before your new monthly allowance. They expire at the end of the billing cycle they rolled into, so they do not accumulate across multiple periods.Credit rollover applies to paid Genie plans only. Starter plan credits always expire at the end of the billing period. Top-up credits have their own independent one-year expiry and are not affected by rollover.
What counts as a credit
Each prompt you send to Genie — asking it to create, modify, or extend your app — uses at least one credit. More complex changes that require Genie to reason across multiple parts of your app may use more. The exact number is shown before you confirm each request. Your published app can also draw down credits on its own, separately from your prompts: when it calls Genie’s built-in AI text, image, video, or audio generation through Genie Cloud, that usage is billed to the same wallet, using the same per-model rate. See Built-in AI, images, and email for what’s billed today, and check per-project totals under Project Settings → Usage.What happens when you run out of credits
When your credit balance reaches zero, Genie pauses generating and updating your app. Your existing app continues to run and stays accessible to your users — it simply cannot be changed until your credits renew or you add more. Starting a new project has its own, separate check: you need an available balance of more than 1 credit to create one. If your balance is at or below that when you try to start a new project — from the dashboard, the Genie launcher, or the landing page — Genie shows a dialog explaining you’re out of credits, with your current balance and a link to plans, instead of starting a build it can’t pay for. This does not apply to your very first project as a new, signed-out visitor. See Managing your projects. You have two options when you run out:Wait for renewal
Your credits reset automatically at the start of your next billing period. No action needed.
