Hostinger credits: How the shared balance works

Hostinger credits are one shared balance that you spend across Hostinger AI Builder, Hostinger Agent, Hostinger Reach, Hostinger AI Router, and Hostinger GPU instances. Credits are used in this order: free trial credits first, then gifted credits, then top-up credits, and then plan credits. Hostinger AI Builder amounts use a 50:1 scale, where 1 former credit equals 50 AI credits of the same value.

New Hostinger hosting plans include a one-time gift of 250 to 1,000 AI credits, depending on the plan, and these credits don’t renew monthly. Top-up credits and most gifted credits expire 3 months after they’re added to your balance. Hostinger Reach gifts expire after 30 days, and Hostinger Reach monthly plan credits expire after 60 days. Hosting plan AI credits expire when the hosting plan expires.

Products that share the Hostinger credits balance

Hostinger credits are one balance shared by five Hostinger products: Hostinger AI Builder, Hostinger Agent, Hostinger Reach, Hostinger AI Router, and Hostinger GPU instances. Any of these products can spend credits from the balance, so you don’t need separate credits for each one.

Each product uses Hostinger credits for different tasks:

• Hostinger AI Builder – building and editing websites and web applications in agentic mode, with credits deducted per request under the dynamic credit model.
• Hostinger Agent – business requests, such as strategy, outreach, or brand and identity work. Support requests in Hostinger Agent are free.
• Hostinger Reach – AI features, such as generating email templates, images, signup forms, contact segments, campaign ideas, and campaign and automation drafts, as listed in Hostinger Reach: AI feature costs in Hostinger credits, and WhatsApp campaigns, as explained in Hostinger Reach: Understand WhatsApp campaign costs.
• Hostinger AI Router – requests to AI models through your Hostinger AI Router API keys, where each model has its own credit cost, as explained in What is Hostinger AI Router and how to get started.
• Hostinger GPU instances – running GPU instances, which use credits for every hour they exist, as explained in How to manage billing and credits for your Hostinger GPU instance.

Your Hostinger credits balance combines credits from these sources:

• Your Hostinger AI Builder AI credit plan.
• Your Hostinger Agent subscription.
• Monthly Hostinger credits included with your Hostinger Reach plan.
• Top-ups you buy.
• AI credits included with your hosting plan.
• Gifted credits.
• Free trials, such as the Hostinger AI Builder free trial.

Hostinger credits are spent in this order: free trial credits, gifted credits, top-up credits, and then plan credits. In Hostinger AI Builder, the credits display shows your Hostinger AI Builder plan credits plus extra bundles, such as top-ups, gifts, trials, and your Hostinger Agent plan.

AI credit scale in Hostinger AI Builder

Hostinger AI Builder shows credit amounts on a 50:1 scale, where 1 former Hostinger AI Builder credit equals 50 AI credits. For example, a Hostinger AI Builder balance previously shown as 10 credits shows as 500 AI credits.

Only the displayed number changed, and your credits keep the same value. Existing Hostinger AI Builder users see a message explaining the change when they open the editor.

AI credits included with Hostinger hosting plans

New Hostinger hosting plans include between 250 and 1,000 AI credits, which go into your shared Hostinger credits balance. Single and Premium plans include 250 AI credits. Unlimited plans include 500 AI credits. Cloud Hosting and Agency Hosting plans include 1,000 AI credits. Hosting plan AI credits are added once, when you purchase the plan, regardless of the billing period.

The AI credit amounts in this table apply to hosting plans purchased on or after October 16, 2026. Hosting plan AI credits are a one-time gift, added when you purchase a new hosting plan. The amount depends on the plan, not the billing period, so a 1-month and a 24-month Premium plan both include 250 AI credits.

Renewals, upgrades of an existing hosting plan, and trial hosting plans don’t add hosting plan AI credits. Unused hosting plan AI credits expire when the hosting plan expires. Hosting plans purchased before October 16, 2026 keep the AI credits that applied when they were purchased, if any. Learn more about plan limits in New web and cloud hosting limits at Hostinger.

When Hostinger credits expire

Hostinger credits expire on different schedules, depending on where they come from. Top-up and most gifted credits expire 3 months after they’re added to your balance, and hosting plan AI credits expire when the hosting plan expires. Hostinger Reach gifts and monthly plan credits follow their own schedule, listed in this table.

Monthly plan credits and top-up credits appear together in one balance, but they expire separately. A monthly refill of plan credits doesn’t extend the expiration date of your top-up or gifted credits. The expiration date of a top-up is shown when you buy it.

Monthly and yearly Hostinger AI Builder AI credit plans are no longer available for new purchases. If your plan expires, you can’t buy a new one, so use top-ups to add more credits.

Top-ups and auto top-up for Hostinger credits

Top-up credits go into the same shared Hostinger credits balance as your other AI credits. Auto top-up applies to AI credits spent in Hostinger AI Builder. Auto top-up is not available for Hostinger GPU instances.

To check your Hostinger credits balance, top up, or see where your credits went, open the Hostinger credits page from the account menu, as described in How to check your Hostinger credit balance and spending.

To buy a top-up in Hostinger AI Builder, click Get AI credits and select an amount. Find the full steps in Hostinger AI Builder: AI credits and top-ups in agentic mode.

Plan allowances for each product are covered in Hostinger Agent pricing and Hostinger Reach: Subscription details.

With one Hostinger credits balance, you can work across Hostinger AI Builder, Hostinger Agent, Hostinger Reach, Hostinger AI Router, and Hostinger GPU instances without managing separate credits for each product.
