Hostinger AI Builder<\/a> uses a dynamic credit<\/a> system in agentic mode to calculate costs accurately for advanced AI tasks. This approach charges you based on the exact amount of work the AI performs, rather than a flat rate per request.<\/p>

How dynamic credits work<\/b><\/h2>

Hostinger AI Builder calculates credit usage dynamically based on the computing resources and processing power required for your specific request.<\/span><\/p>

    \n
  1. Fractional credit deduction:<\/b> Credit usage is precise and calculated up to two decimal places (for example, <\/span>0.12<\/b> or <\/span>2.45<\/b> credits). You will only pay for the exact volume of work the AI performs to generate your response.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Resource-based charging:<\/b> Simple, short questions consume significantly fewer credits. Advanced requests that require heavy computation, deep analysis, or extensive code generation naturally utilize a higher share of credits.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Manual edits also use credits<\/strong>: Edits made directly in Select & edit mode<\/strong><\/a>, such as changing text or replacing an image, also use a small number of credits, typically between 0.01 and 0.05, since these edits are processed the same way as AI-generated changes.<\/li>\n
  4. Better results through step-by-step requests:<\/b> Splitting large, complex projects into smaller, focused prompts allows the AI to dedicate its full focus to one piece of the puzzle at a time. This step-by-step approach significantly increases the accuracy of the generated code and provides the highest quality outcomes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>

    You can review how many credits were used by hovering over the icon of the response:

    • Your updated credit balance will appear automatically in the interface immediately after each AI response.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
