Hostinger AI Builder: AI credits and top-ups in agentic mode

Learn how AI credit plans and top-ups work in Hostinger AI Builder agentic mode.

Updated 12 hours ago

Hostinger AI Builder agentic mode is a prompt-based tool for building web applications without coding knowledge. You need an active hosting plan to create and publish projects, in addition to an AI credit plan that provides your monthly AI credits.

How AI credits work

Hostinger AI Builder agentic mode uses a dynamic credit model. Credits are charged based on the actual computing resources used per request, not a fixed per-message fee.

  • Simple or short requests consume fewer credits (e.g., 0.12).
  • Complex requests (heavy code generation, deep analysis) consume more credits (e.g., 2.45).
  • All messages are included in the calculation, including general inquiries and non-coding interactions.
  • Manual edits made in Select & edit mode, such as changing text or replacing an image, also use a small number of credits, typically between 0.01 and 0.05.

To review credit usage per response, hover over the icon on the Hostinger AI Builder reply. You can review this article about dynamic credits for full details. 

How to check AI credits

  1. Open your Hostinger AI Builder project.
  2. Click the menu.
  3. Select AI Credits Usage.

  4. A modal opens showing:
    • Monthly credit balance and next reset date
      Monthly credits vs. Additional (top-up) credits breakdown, with each additional credit bundle listed along with its individual expiry date
      Usage chart filterable by last 24h / 7 days / 30 days, with a website filter that lists your current website first, followed by the rest of your websites in alphabetical order

Use this view to monitor consumption patterns and decide whether to top up before running out of credits.

You can also check your current credit usage and remaining count from within your Hostinger AI Builder dashboard:

  • Top-ups expire 3 months after purchase if unused.
  • Top-up options range from 10 credits to thousands.
