Credits & usage
Credits (also called tokens) pay for the AI work on your website. Learn what uses them, how many you get, and what happens when you run out.
InMinutes uses credits to measure AI work. Each time the AI builds your website or makes a change to it, it uses some credits. Every plan includes credits, and paid plans get a fresh allowance every month.
You'll see both words in the app: credits and tokens. They mean the same thing.
How many credits you get
| Plan | Credits | When they refill |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 200 | One time only (they don't refill) |
| Starter | 1,000 | Every month, on your billing date |
| Pro | 3,000 | Every month, on your billing date |
| Business | 6,000 | Every month, on your billing date |
Monthly credits refill on your own billing date: the day of the month your plan started. If you subscribed on the 30th, they refill on the 30th of each month (or the last day of shorter months). They don't roll over: on that date, your allowance resets to your plan's amount. Credits you buy are different: they never expire. See Buy extra credits.
What uses credits
| Action | Uses credits? |
|---|---|
| Building a new website (from a description, a template or your old website) | Yes |
| Changes you ask for in the editor chat | Yes |
| Letting the AI write your AI-search FAQ | Yes |
| Editing text or images yourself with visual edits | No |
| Setting up a booking page, store, contact page or blog page from the chat | No |
| Chat replies, in the editor or on Telegram | Yes, what each reply used |
| Publishing your website | No |
| Visitors using your website, bookings, orders and messages | No |
Building a website
When you build a new website, InMinutes first sets aside credits for it: about 110 credits per page you ask for. When the build finishes, you're charged for what the build really used, including your conversation with the builder before it started, and anything unused goes back to your balance. On the Free Plan, a build never uses more than that first amount. If you don't have enough credits for the build, InMinutes tells you before it starts.
Changing your website
Small changes start straight away. For bigger ones, like a new section or page, or placing your own photos, the chat first shows roughly how many credits the change will use (for example ≈ 60 tokens). While the AI works, you can see the credits used so far. After the change, the chat shows what it really used, like Updated your site · 45 tokens · 38s, and that's what you pay.
Bigger changes use more credits. As a rough guide:
- Small: rewording text or changing a color.
- Medium: redesigning or adding a section.
- Large: adding a whole new page. Asking for several new pages at once uses credits for each page.
Group small tweaks into one message, like "Change the phone number to 555-0100, make the button green and fix the typo in the About heading." It's usually cheaper than three separate requests.
Chat replies
Every reply in the chat uses credits for the AI work behind it: reading your pages or business data and writing the answer, at least 1 credit. The credits each reply used are shown at the bottom of it. Most replies use about 10 to 30 credits; the first message after a break, or one that reads a lot of your website, can use around 100. Messages to the Telegram assistant work the same way.
If a change fails
If the AI can't finish a change, your credits are returned and the chat says so. You're never charged for a change that didn't happen.
Check your balance
Click your name at the bottom-left of the dashboard. The Credits card shows:
- AI credits: how many you've used out of your total this month.
- Websites: how many websites you have.
- Extra credits: credits you bought, if any.
- When your credits renew (or "Free plan · one-time allowance" on the Free Plan).
You can also see your usage on the billing page: Settings → Plans & billing.
When you run out
- Your live website keeps working. Running out of credits never takes your site down or changes it.
- You can't ask the AI for changes or answers until your credits refill on your monthly billing date, or until you buy more. The chat tells you you're out instead of replying, so nothing is charged.
- You can still edit text and images yourself with visual edits, which don't use credits.
- On the Free Plan, you'll be asked to choose a paid plan.
Buy extra credits
On a paid plan you can top up at any time from Settings → Plans & billing:
| Pack | Price |
|---|---|
| 250 credits | $15 |
| 500 credits | $25 |
Extra credits are added as soon as the payment goes through. They're added on top of your plan's credits and never expire.
Team members and credits
When teammates make changes on your website, the credits come from the website owner's balance. See Invite your team.
