Credits

GenMB uses a credit-based system to meter usage. Each plan includes a monthly credit allocation, and every action has a transparent credit cost based on complexity.

Plan Allocations

Every plan includes credits that reset on a regular cycle. Your credit balance is visible in the navigation bar, and you can see full usage, cost reference, and transaction history on the Credits page.

Plan	Credits	Reset	Rollover Cap
Free	8 / day, up to 40 / month	Daily (midnight UTC)	No rollover
Pro	200 / month	Monthly (subscription anniversary)	400
Team	500 / month (shared pool)	Monthly (subscription anniversary)	1,000
Business	1,000 / month (shared pool)	Monthly (subscription anniversary)	2,000
Scale	4,000 / month (shared pool)	Monthly (subscription anniversary)	8,000

Team, Business and Scale credits are shared across the entire team as a single pool, and the owner can set a hard monthly limit for each person. Unlimited team members at no extra cost.

Free trial: Pro, Team and Business start with a 7-day trial that includes 50, 100 and 150 credits. Your full monthly credits arrive with your first payment. Scale has no trial.

Your live apps never go down because credits ran out. Only the AI features inside them pause, and every plan includes a free monthly allowance for your visitors’ AI use.

Credit Costs

Credit costs are based on the complexity of each action. All costs are whole numbers with a minimum of 1 credit. The system determines complexity automatically, you don't need to choose.

Action	Credits
Code generation - simple (single-file)	2
Code generation - standard (multi-file)	4
Code generation - fullstack (backend + DB)	6
Chat refinement - simple edit	1
Chat refinement - complex (plan mode / multi-file)	3
Fixing a problem GenMB found (health banner Fix now, up to 2 tries per problem; the automatic fix after a new app is built)	Free
Deployment	1
AI proxy - LLM completion	1
AI proxy - image analysis	1
AI proxy - image generation	1
AI proxy - voice session	5
Chat agent - creation	2
Chat agent - per message processed	1
Scheduled agent - creation / update	2
Scheduled agent - per execution	1
Workflow - per execution	1
Workflow - AI generate	2
Agent Mode - per run	8

Credits are only deducted after an action succeeds. Failed generations, errored API calls, and timed-out requests cost nothing. When GenMB's own checks find your app broken, fixing it from the health banner is free for up to two tries per problem (see App Health).

How Credits Work

When you perform a billable action (generate code, deploy, use AI proxy, etc.), the system automatically determines the credit cost based on complexity and deducts it from your balance.

Monthly credits are used first

Your plan allocation is always consumed before any purchased top-up credits.

Then top-up credits kick in

Once your monthly balance hits zero, purchased credits are used automatically. No interruption to your workflow.

Low-credit warnings

You'll see a warning toast when credits drop low, and a modal at zero with options to purchase more.

AI proxy credits (LLM completion, image generation in deployed apps) are charged to the app owner, not end-users of the deployed app. Keep this in mind when building apps with AI features.

Top-Up Packs

Need more credits? Purchase top-up packs at any time from the Credits page or the zero-credit modal. Top-up credits never expire and are available on all plans.

100 credits$18

$0.18 per credit

500 credits$80

$0.16 per credit

1,000 credits$150

$0.15 per credit

10,000 credits$1,400

$0.14 per credit

Top-up credits don't unlock plan-gated features. For example, purchasing credits on the Free plan won't unlock Workflow autopilot or Agent Mode (Pro) or deploying AI Agents live on Telegram/Slack/Email (any paid plan) - you'll need to upgrade for those.

Earning Credits (Free)

Earn credits by inviting friends. When someone who signed up through your referral link makes their first payment on a paid plan (a free trial does not count yet), you both get $30 in free credits (200 credits). You earn it on any plan, including Free, and there's no cap on how many friends you can refer. You can also earn a few bonus credits for free by building on a daily streak and hitting building milestones (see your Rewards).

Action	Reward
Friend signs up via your link	Tracked - pays out when they upgrade
Friend makes their first payment	+$30 (200 credits) to you, +$30 to them

Grab your referral link from the Settings page. The friendly form is genmb.com/invite/yourusername. See the full Referrals doc for share templates and safeguards.

Referral credits are paid on the upgrade, not the signup, so invite people who are likely to actually use GenMB. A friend who signs up and never subscribes earns neither of you anything.

Team Credit Pool

Team, Business and Scale plans use a shared team credit pool. All team members draw from the same monthly balance (500 credits on Team, 1,000 on Business, 4,000 on Scale), and the owner can set a hard monthly limit for each person. There are no per-seat fees.

•Workspace owners can purchase top-up packs for the workspace pool from the Workspaces dashboard.
•Every deduction is logged with the acting member's name for full visibility in transaction history.
•Unlimited team members - adding members does not reduce anyone's credits.

Rollover & Reset

Credits reset automatically based on your plan. Unused credits on paid plans carry over for one billing cycle.

Plan	Reset Cycle	Rollover
Free	Every 24 hours (midnight UTC)	None: 8 a day, up to 40 a month
Pro	Monthly (subscription date)	Up to 400 (unused + new allocation, capped)
Team	Monthly (subscription date)	Up to 1,000 (unused + new allocation, capped)
Business	Monthly (subscription date)	Up to 2,000 (unused + new allocation, capped)
Scale	Monthly (subscription date)	Up to 8,000 (unused + new allocation, capped)

Purchased top-up credits are separate from your plan balance and are never affected by resets. They never expire regardless of your subscription status.

FAQs

What happens when I run out of credits?▾

You'll see a modal showing your balance and the cost of the action. You can purchase a top-up pack to continue immediately, or wait for your next credit reset (daily for Free, up to 40 a month; monthly for paid plans). Your live apps keep working either way: only their AI features pause.

Do unused credits roll over?▾

Paid plan credits roll over for one billing cycle, capped at 2× your monthly allocation (400 for Pro, 1,000 for Team, 2,000 for Business, 8,000 for Scale). Free plan credits refill daily with no rollover.

Do top-up credits expire?▾

No. Purchased top-up credits never expire. They are used only after your monthly plan credits are depleted.

Do referral credits expire?▾

Yes. Referral credits (the $30 two-sided bonus) expire 7 days after they are granted. They are paid when your invited friend subscribes to a paid plan, not when they sign up. They are spent before your plan allowance, so you actually get value from them while they are active. Unused credits are forfeited on expiry. Top-up credits you purchase never expire.

Who gets charged for AI features in deployed apps?▾

AI proxy credits (LLM completion, image generation) are charged to the app owner, the GenMB user who built the app, not the end-users visiting the deployed app.

How does the team credit pool work?▾

Team (500/mo), Business (1,000/mo) and Scale (4,000/mo) share a single pool across all workspace members. The owner can set a hard monthly limit for each person. Usage is attributed per-member in transaction history.

Can Free plan users buy top-up packs?▾

Yes. Top-up packs are available on all plans, including Free. However, top-up credits don't unlock plan-gated features like AI Agents or Workflows - you'll need to upgrade for those.

Am I charged if a generation fails?▾

No. Credits are only deducted after an action succeeds. If code generation fails or an API call returns an error, no credits are consumed.
