Credits & Usage

Credits represent AI tokens consumed when generating or refining projects in Meku. Each subscription plan includes a fixed number of monthly credits, with daily limits on Free and Starter plans.

How Credits Work

Credits are tied to your subscription plan.

• 1 credit = 1,000 AI tokens processed.
• Used when creating projects, refining prompts, or adding new components.
• Larger prompts and iterations consume more credits.

Credits do not apply to exports, browsing, or project management.

Viewing Credits

Credits are displayed in the top navigation bar when logged in.

• Example: 198 / 2000 shows 198 credits used out of 2000 available.
• Free and Starter plans also show the daily limit.
• Pro and Growth plans have no daily limit but still display monthly usage.

This gives you real-time visibility without needing a separate page.

Purchasing and Managing Credits

Credits are included in your plan.

• Upgrade or downgrade your plan in Billing & Subscriptions to change limits.
• Unused credits do not roll over to the next month.
• Credits reset on your billing cycle date.

Optimizing Credit Usage

Use credits efficiently by following these practices:

• Write specific prompts instead of vague requests.
• Build complex projects step by step.
• Reuse components instead of regenerating.
• Avoid unnecessary refinements.

Efficient prompting reduces credit consumption and improves results.

Hitting Your Limit

When you reach the credit limit:

• New generations and refinements will stop until credits reset.
• On Free and Starter plans, daily limits reset every 24 hours.
• Monthly limits reset at the start of your billing cycle.

Top-up Credits

If you run out before the reset, you can purchase additional credits.

• Go to Billing & Subscriptions > Top-up Credits.
• Choose the pack size (e.g., 500, 1000, 2000 credits).
• Purchased credits are added instantly and used after the base plan credits.

Top-ups give flexibility without requiring a full plan upgrade.
