How credits work
Credits power every action on App2, from AI code generation to deployments.
What consumes credits
Credits are used for:
AI code generation: Chat interactions, code modifications, debugging
AI analysis: Figma imports, image analysis, file processing
The actual cost per operation varies based on:
Size and complexity of the request
AI model used (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini)
Amount of code generated or analyzed
Credit types
Free credits:
Provided daily to Free tier users
Reset every 24 hours
Maximum 25 credits per month

Credit usage order
When you perform an operation, App2 uses credits in this order:

FAQ
Do credits expire?
Free tier: Yes, daily credits expire at midnight UTC and don't carry over.
Pro/Lifetime: Subscription credits never expire and roll over month to month.
Purchased credits: Never expire. Use them anytime.
Can I change plans?
Yes. You can upgrade from Free to Pro anytime. If you're on Pro monthly, you can switch to annual billing to save money. Lifetime is a one-time purchase that gives you permanent Pro status.
What happens when I run out of credits?
You won't be able to perform credit-consuming operations (AI generation, deployments) until you:
Wait for your next credit allocation (Free tier daily reset, Pro monthly refresh)
Purchase additional credits
Upgrade to a plan with more credits
Your existing projects and code remain accessible.
Can I use credits across multiple workspaces?
Credits are workspace-specific. Each workspace has its own credit balance. Pro subscribers can create secondary workspaces that share the Pro features but have separate credit pools.
How many credits does a typical operation use?
Actual usage depends on the AI model, code size, and request complexity.
Can I get a refund on purchased credits?
Purchased credits are non-refundable but never expire, so you can use them at any time. For subscription refunds, contact support (hello@app2.dev) within 7 days of your billing date.
What's the difference between Free and Pro for credits?
Free tier:
10 credits per month
5 per day usage limit
Daily usage counter resets at midnight UTC
Monthly credits reset on the 1st if balance < 10
Pro tier:
100 credits per month (no daily limit)
Unused credits roll over
Never expire
Can use all credits in one day if needed
Do Lifetime subscribers get credits forever?
Lifetime subscribers receive 100 credits/month for 2 years (2,400 total). After 2 years, you keep permanent Pro status but will need to purchase credit packages.
Can I share credits with team members?
Yes! When you add collaborators to your workspace, they share the workspace's credit pool. All credit usage from that workspace (by any member) deducts from the shared balance.
