How to check the plans, credits and limits for builder AI

Whether builder AI is free depends on the feature, the plan and the month. Makers change credit costs and plan lists without much notice, so the only reliable answer is the maker's own current page.

Three ways makers charge

Included in the plan. Some features simply come with a paid plan. WordPress.com says building a site with its agent is available on all paid plans¹.

Credits. Many makers give a monthly pool of credits, and each AI action spends some. Wix says all new Premium plans include AI credits². Squarespace says its credits are spent on tools such as image making³.

A separate plan. Wix says you need to purchase an email marketing plan to use its AI email generator⁴.

Treat this table as a sample of the kind of rule to look for, not as current prices. No prices are given here, because they vary by country and currency.

Things that surprise people

Credits can run out, or expire. Wix says unused credits from the previous month expire at the refresh time². Squarespace says credit packs you buy expire one year after purchase³.

Costs aren't fixed. Wix says the cost of an action depends on the length and complexity of your request. It also reserves the right to change credit costs at any time².

Some tools spend credits on their own. Wix warns that some tools have automated features which might use up credits without you acting directly².

Some chat help is free. Wix says chatting with its assistant Aria is free and uses no credits². Squarespace lists the tools that do use credits, such as image making³.

Extra packs. Squarespace lets you buy credit packs, up to 400 credits at a time³. Check whether unused packs roll over or expire before you buy.

How to check, step by step

• Open the maker's help centre and search for the feature's name plus "credits" or "plans".
• Read the plan page in your own country. Prices carry a currency, and some rules apply in only one region.
• Write down the date and the figure. A note from last month may be out of date.
• Check whether the AI feature needs a trial, a paid plan or an add-on.
• Look for what happens when credits run out: a stop, a wait or a charge.

Ask support to confirm anything the page doesn't make clear, and keep their reply.

Third-party blogs and comparison pages go stale fast. Use them to find the right words to search for, then confirm on the maker's page.
