How Credits Work
Credits are the unified currency for all AI-powered actions in Envelope — from building your app to the modules your users interact with.

What counts as a credit?
Credits cover both building your apps and the AI-powered features your app's users interact with. When you send a prompt to the AI builder, that uses credits. When someone uses your app's chatbot, generates an image, or asks a question through search, that also uses credits from your plan.
When do credits reset?
Credits reset monthly on your billing date. Unused credits do not roll over to the next month.
What happens if I run out?
When your credits are used up, AI-powered features will be paused until your next billing cycle or until you upgrade to a plan with more credits. Your apps and data remain fully accessible.
