What is an AI credit?
AI credits are consumed when you send AI messages in Chat, Plan, and Build modes in your Zite apps, including edits.Credit usage varies based on the complexity of your request—simpler changes use fewer credits while more complex features use more.Under the hood, credits correspond to the AI LLM usage and take into account:
The complexity of the task
The number of files that are read
The number of changes that are written
Selective edits (like changing text or colors directly) don’t use any credits.There is no credit charge for using your apps, only for building them.Customers can check their current credit usage here: Billing & Usage
What happens to my AI credits when I upgrade?
When you upgrade to a new plan, your total AI credit limit is set to the new plan’s limits.For example, if you’ve used 40 credits on the Free plan (50 credits/month) and upgrade to Pro with 100 credits/month, you’ll have 60 credits remaining for the month. Your full 100 credits refresh when the new calendar month starts.Note: Upgrading from one plan to another does not give you additional credits beyond the total new limit. E.g., moving from 100 to 200 credits means your new monthly total is 200, not that you have an extra 200 credits.
I just ran out of AI credits. How can I keep building?
Upgrade to a higher-tier plan to get more AI credits per month. Each plan offers progressively higher monthly credit limits.If you downgrade to the free plan after your app is built, Zite branding will reappear on your app.
Do unused AI credits roll over?
No, unused AI credits do not roll over. Each calendar month starts with a fresh credit limit based on your plan, regardless of when you upgraded or started your subscription.
What are integration credits?
Integration credits are separate from AI credits and are consumed when your published apps interact with external services. For example, sending an email costs 5 integration credits.Zite Database operations are always free and do not use any integration credits.Each plan includes a monthly integration credit allowance that resets on the 1st of each month. You can view your usage on the Billing & Usage page.Learn more in the Integration Credits guide.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time. When you cancel, you’ll continue to have access to your current plan until the end of your billing period.
Do you offer student or non-profit discounts?
Not yet, but we’re considering special pricing for educational institutions and non-profit organizations in the future.
