# Plans & Credits
> Understand Vybe pricing tiers, how credits work, and how to manage your usage
Vybe uses a credit-based pricing model. Every AI interaction — sending a message, generating code, running a database query through the agent — consumes credits. Your plan determines how many credits you receive and how often they reset.
***
## Plans
Vybe offers three pricing tiers:
| | **Free** | **Pro** | **Team** |
| -------------------- | --------------------------- | ---------------- | -------------------- |
| **Credits** | 100/day | 2,000/month | 5,000/month |
| **Starting balance** | 1,000 on account creation | 2,000/month | 5,000/month |
| **Max balance** | 2,000 | Based on plan | Based on plan |
| **Credit reset** | Daily | Monthly | Monthly |
| **Seat types** | Single user | Builder + Viewer | Builder + Viewer |
| **Buy more credits** | No | Yes | Yes |
| **Best for** | Trying Vybe, small projects | Growing teams | Larger organizations |
You can start building on the Free plan immediately — no credit card required. Upgrade to Pro or Team when you need more credits or team collaboration features.

## How credits work
Credits are consumed each time you interact with the AI agent. This includes:
* Sending a message in a thread
* Asking the agent to generate or modify code
* Running database queries through the agent
* Requesting explanations or debugging help
Actions that do **not** consume credits:
* Editing code manually in the Code tab
* Deploying your app
* Managing integrations and settings
* Inviting team members
### Credit reset schedule
| Plan | Reset frequency | Behavior |
| -------- | --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Free** | Daily | You receive 100 credits each day. Unused credits carry over up to a maximum balance of 2,000. |
| **Pro** | Monthly | You receive 2,000 credits at the start of each billing cycle. |
| **Team** | Monthly | You receive 5,000 credits at the start of each billing cycle. |

## Credit costs by model
Different AI models consume different amounts of credits per interaction. More powerful models produce higher-quality results but cost more credits.
| Model | Relative cost | Best for |
| --------------------- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Claude Opus 4.5** | Highest | Complex app generation, multi-step reasoning, large refactors |
| **Claude Sonnet 4.5** | Medium-high | General-purpose building, good balance of quality and speed |
| **Claude Haiku 4.5** | Low | Quick edits, simple questions, routine modifications |
| **GPT-5.1** | Medium-high | Alternative perspective, specific coding patterns |
| **Gemini 3 Pro** | Medium | Alternative perspective, different model strengths |
You can switch models at any time from the model selector in the chat input. Choose a lighter model for simple tasks to conserve credits, and a more powerful model when you need complex reasoning.

## Seat types
Pro and Team plans use seat-based pricing with two seat types:
| Seat type | Permissions | Consumes credits |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| **Builder** | Create apps, edit code, use AI chat, deploy, manage integrations | Yes |
| **Viewer** | View deployed apps, access app UIs | No |
Builder seats are for team members who actively create and modify apps. Viewer seats are for stakeholders, managers, or team members who only need to use the finished apps.
Use Viewer seats for team members who only need access to deployed apps. This keeps costs down while giving your whole team access to the tools you build.
***
## Buying more credits
On Pro and Team plans, you can purchase additional credits when your monthly allocation runs out.
Click your organization name in the sidebar and select **Settings**.
Go to the **Billing** tab.
Click **Buy Credits** and select the amount you need. Additional credits are charged to your payment method on file.
Additional credits do not expire at the end of your billing cycle — they remain available until used.
The Free plan does not support purchasing additional credits. Upgrade to Pro or Team if you need more than the daily free allocation.
***
## Checking your usage
You can view your current credit balance and usage history at any time:
1. Click your organization name in the sidebar.
2. Select **Settings**.
3. Open the **Billing** tab.
The billing page shows:
* Your current credit balance
* Credits consumed in the current period
* Usage breakdown by model
* Billing cycle dates and next reset
***
## Upgrading your plan
You can upgrade from Free to Pro or Team at any time:
Click your organization name in the sidebar and select **Settings**.
Navigate to the **Billing** tab.
Choose **Pro** or **Team** and follow the prompts to enter your payment information and select your seat count.
When you upgrade:
* Your new credit allocation is available immediately
* You keep any remaining credits from your previous plan
* Billing starts from the date of upgrade

On the Free plan, unused credits carry over up to a maximum balance of 2,000. On Pro and Team plans, unused credits do not roll over — your balance resets at the start of each billing cycle.
Yes. You can downgrade at any time from your billing settings. The downgrade takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle. Your apps and data are preserved regardless of your plan.
Go to **Settings** > **Billing** and adjust your seat count. You can add or remove Builder and Viewer seats at any time. Changes are prorated for the current billing period.
