# How credits work

What uses credits, roughly how many things take, and how to get more.

Updated October 29, 2026

## What uses credits

Building and changing your site uses credits, and so do Growth reviews. People visiting your published site never use any.

- A first build of a whole site: about 8 to 12 credits.
- A change, like a new page or a new price: about 1 to 5.
- So 250 credits is about 20 new sites or more than 100 changes.

## Credits that come with your plan

- Free: 20 credits when you start each month, then 10 more on each day you build, up to 50 a month. Unused free credits end with the month.
- Plus: 250 credits on each billing date.
- Pro: 1,250 credits on each billing date.

Yearly plans still get their credits every month. Plan credits don't roll over, and they're used before any credits you buy.

## Buy more credits

On Plus and Pro, workspace owners can buy extra credits from Plans and billing, in packs of 100, 250, or 500.

- On Plus: $10, $25, or $50.
- On Pro: $8, $20, or $40.

Bought credits last 12 months, even if you change plans. Free accounts can't buy credits; they upgrade instead.

## If you run out

Your published sites keep working. To keep building, buy more credits or upgrade. On Free, you get more the next day you build, until you reach 50 for the month. The credits button at the top of the studio shows what's left.

Credits belong to the workspace, so everyone in it shares them.
