Plans & Credits

Learn how credits work, how plans are structured, and how to get the most value from Emergent.

What Are Credits?

Credits are the core unit of work on Emergent - everything runs on them.

Each plan comes with a monthly credit allowance used for:

• Natural language app generation
• Code generation and modifications
• Frontend & backend development
• Testing and debugging
• Cloud deployments (50 credits/month per app)
• Integrations and troubleshooting

Everything - from chat prompts to full app generation - consumes credits.
If your balance hits zero, development pauses until renewal or a top-up.

Types of Credits

Type	Description
Subscription Credits	Included in your monthly plan. Reset every billing cycle.
Top-up Credits	Purchased separately. Never expire.

Per-task limit: 1000 credits
Default allocation: 5 credits per run (adjustable up to 1000)

Credit Rollover Policy

• Monthly Plans: Unused subscription credits reset every billing cycle.
• Top-up Credits: Never expire.
• Usage Priority: Monthly credits are used first, then top-ups.

Credit Accounting & Calculations

Monthly Credit Behavior

• Subscription Credits: Allocated monthly, reset each billing cycle.
• Top-up Credits: $10 for 50 credits, never expire.
• Usage Order: Subscription → Top-up.

Monthly subscription credits do not roll over.

Prorated Upgrade Logic

If you upgrade from Standard (200/month) mid-cycle, your billing and credits are automatically adjusted so you only pay for the remaining days in your current billing cycle.

Example Scenario:

Detail	Value
Current Plan	Standard ($20/month)
New Plan	Pro ($200/month)
Billing Cycle	30 days
Day of Upgrade	Day 15
Unused Days	15

Billing Calculation

Formula	Example	Result
Credit from current plan	$20 ÷ 30 × 15	$10
Cost of new plan	$200 ÷ 30 × 15	$100
Final charge	$100 −$10	$90 due immediately

You’ll be charged only for the unused portion of the month at the new plan’s rate.
Your billing cycle remains the same - it doesn’t restart.

Credit Adjustment

Plan	Monthly Credits	Credits Used	Credits Remaining	Credit Adjustment
Standard	100	40	60	—
Pro	750	—	—	+690 credits instantly

On upgrade, you immediately receive the remaining difference between your current and new plan credits.
In this example:
750 (Pro) − 60 used = 690 new credits added instantly.

Prorated upgrades ensure a seamless transition — you never lose existing credits, and your available balance updates immediately to match your new plan.

Downgrade Logic

• Takes effect next billing cycle.
• Current credits stay active until cycle end.
• New plan credits begin next renewal.

Use remaining credits before a downgrade to avoid expiration.

Top-Ups (Credit Refills)

Running low on credits? You can easily purchase additional credits anytime — directly from the subscription modal.

Current Top-Up Options

Credits	Price	Notes
5 credits	$1	Special introductory offer
100 credits	$20	Standard purchase
250 credits	$50	Ideal for small builds
500 credits	$100	Most popular choice
3000 credits	$500	Best value - includes 20% bonus
6000 credits	$1,000	Enterprise-scale bundle (20% OFF)

All top-up credits are one-time purchases that never expire.
You can buy as many as you need, anytime.

How Top-Up Credits Work

• Instant Activation: Credits are added to your balance immediately after purchase.
• No Expiry: Top-up credits remain available until used.
• Usage Priority: Subscription credits are used first, followed by top-up credits.
• Flexibility: Ideal for short-term projects, high-load months, or team bursts.

Top-up credits don’t reset with your monthly plan - they’re a flexible, permanent backup pool.

When to Top-Up vs. Upgrade

Scenario	Best Option
Short-term project or one-time spike	Top-Up Credits
Hitting credit limits every month	Upgrade your plan
Need more compute or context window	Upgrade to Pro
Building collaboratively or scaling team usage	Upgrade to Team
Buying 2+ top-ups monthly	Upgrade - better $/credit ratio

Pro Tip: Top-ups give flexibility, but upgrading usually provides better long-term value if you’re using large credit volumes.

How to Purchase

1. Click on Credit Balance, click on buy more credits.
2. Choose a bundle or enter a custom credit amount
3. Complete payment securely - credits will appear in your balance instantly

Top-up credits never expire, can be stacked, and are usable across all plans — the perfect way to stay productive when your monthly credits run out.

What Happens if You Run Out of Credits?

When credits hit zero:

You can still:

• Access projects & code
• Edit files manually in VS Code
• View deployments
• Access documentation

You can’t:

• Generate new code
• Run tests
• Deploy new builds
• Use AI debugging

To continue building, wait for your next credit refresh or purchase a top-up.

• Managed production infrastructure
• Uptime monitoring
