Hostinger AI Builder agentic mode uses AI credits from one balance shared with Hostinger Agent and Hostinger Reach. You need an active hosting plan to create and publish projects, plus an AI credit plan that adds a set number of AI credits to that balance. Check your balance in the AI Credits Usage view, and buy top-ups when you need more credits.<\/p><h2 data-start=\"1073\" data-end=\"1414\" id=\"h-how-ai-credits-work\"><strong>How AI credits work<\/strong><\/h2><p>AI credits are one balance shared by Hostinger AI Builder, Hostinger Agent, and Hostinger Reach. Free trial credits are used before any other credits in your balance.<\/p><p>AI credit amounts use a scale where 1 former Hostinger AI Builder credit equals 50 AI credits. For example, a balance previously shown as 10 credits shows as 500 AI credits. Only the displayed number changes, and your credits keep the same value. Auto top-up covers AI credits spent in Hostinger AI Builder.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a data-click-id=\"hgr-post-content-link-hostinger-ai-builder-agentic-mode\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/support\/hostinger-ai-builder-agentic-mode-product-overview\/\">Hostinger AI Builder agentic mode<\/a> uses a dynamic credit model. <\/span>Credits are deducted for each request based on the current credit-usage calculation, not a fixed per-message fee.<\/p><ul>\n<li>The number of credits deducted varies between requests, even for requests of similar complexity.<\/li>\n<li>Complex requests, such as heavy code generation or deep analysis, generally consume more credits than short or simple requests.<\/li>\n<li>All messages are included in the calculation, including general inquiries and non-coding interactions.<\/li>\n<li>Manual edits made in <a data-click-id=\"hgr-post-content-link-select-edit\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/support\/11695969-hostinger-ai-builder-agentic-mode-visual-editor-changes\/\"><strong>Select &amp; edit<\/strong><\/a> mode, such as changing text or replacing an image, also deduct a small number of credits from your balance.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To review credit usage per response, hover over the icon on the Hostinger AI Builder reply. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can review <a data-click-id=\"hgr-post-content-link-this-article-about-dynamic-credits\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/support\/hostinger-ai-builder-agentic-mode-understanding-dynamic-credits\/\">this article about dynamic credits<\/a> for full details.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><div class=\"flex flex-col text-sm pb-25\">\n<article class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [&amp;:has([data-writing-block])&gt;*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" data-turn-id=\"request-WEB:ea5d4c9d-6ce4-4ad8-be99-bbcc679615d7-4\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-10\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\" data-turn=\"assistant\">\n<div class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\">\n<div class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\">\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-1\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"f5bf3279-2b92-42aa-aff9-ff0396d9a221\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-2\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full wrap-break-word light markdown-new-styling\">\n<h2 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"113\" id=\"h-how-to-check-ai-credits\">How to check AI credits<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"113\">Open your Hostinger AI Builder project.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"113\">Click the menu.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"113\">Select <b>AI Credits Usage.<br>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16030\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2026\/08\/2026-08-19_11-32.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2026\/08\/2026-08-19_11-32.png 480w, https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2026\/08\/2026-08-19_11-32-169x300.png 169w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><br>\n<\/b><\/li>\n<li data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"113\">A modal opens showing: Monthly credit balance and next reset date.
