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 3 weeks 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 a set number of AI credits with your plan.

How AI credits work

Hostinger AI Builder agentic mode uses a dynamic credit model. Credits are deducted for each request based on the current credit-usage calculation, not a fixed per-message fee.

  • The number of credits deducted varies between requests, even for requests of similar complexity.
  • Complex requests, such as heavy code generation or deep analysis, generally consume more credits than short or simple requests.
  • 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 deduct a small number of credits from your balance.

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 AI credits

Need more AI credits? You can buy additional top-ups.

  • Top-ups are more expensive per credit than subscriptions, but they don’t require an additional subscription.
  • Top-ups expire 3 months after purchase if unused.
  • Top-up options range from 10 credits to thousands.
Top-up credits stay in your balance when you upgrade your plan, in addition to the credits the new plan grants. Upgrading doesn’t spend your top-up credits as a discount toward the upgrade payment.
