Saving credits
Spend fewer credits without slowing down your workflow.
Credits fund the AI doing its work. A few habits dramatically change how far a credit pack goes.
1. Use Discuss to plan, Edit to execute
Discuss is usually cheaper than Edit because it doesn’t rewrite your site — it just reads and responds. A one-Discuss / one-Edit sequence is often cheaper than a single over-ambitious Edit.
Worse:
Edit: “Rewrite the pricing section to have three tiers, fix the hero, and add testimonials.”
Better:
Discuss: “What tier structure makes sense for a $19/$49/$99 SaaS?” Edit: “Apply a 3-tier pricing grid with those tiers and copy. Leave the hero and testimonials for now.”
2. Prefer Undo over Retry
If an edit went wrong, Undo is free (no credits). Retry re-runs the AI — useful when the generation actually failed, but wasteful when the generation succeeded and you just don’t like the result. Undo and write a better prompt instead.
3. Be specific
Specific prompts cost fewer credits than vague ones, because the AI doesn’t wander. “Make the hero darker” is short and specific. “Improve the vibe of the whole site” sends the AI through everything.
4. Use Select mode
When you want to change one specific element, Select mode targets it directly. The AI doesn’t need to read the whole page to find the element you meant — it gets a reference.
5. Don’t regenerate to fix typos
If you notice a typo, don’t Retry or re-generate. Just Edit: “Fix the typo in the hero: ‘lauch’ → ‘launch’.” One cheap Edit.
6. Consolidate related changes
Combining related changes in one prompt uses fewer credits than three separate prompts. See Iterate in small steps for which changes to combine.
7. Mute mistakes at the source
If you keep undoing and re-trying the same kind of change, the prompt pattern itself might be the problem. Stop for a minute, read Writing great prompts, then write one better prompt.
8. Set a budget and monitor
The Billing → Credits page shows your balance and recent usage. If you’re burning through credits faster than expected, it’s almost always because:
- Too many kitchen-sink prompts.
- Too much “regenerate and hope”.
- Not using Discuss when exploring.
