Wholesale Credit Pricing
Vibecode uses a wholesale credit system: 1 in credits = 1 in credits = 1 in AI usage. We charge exactly what the AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.) charge us. No markup on AI costs. Credits are used when you send prompts in Vibecode. You need credits to build and iterate on your apps. Credits roll over each billing cycle and never expire.

Getting More Credits
Free Credits via Social Media

Auto-Reload
You can always get more credits by upgrading your plan or enabling auto-reload. Auto-reload automatically purchases additional credits when your balance gets low, so you can keep building without interruptions. Set up auto-reload in the web app at vibecodeapp.com/account/subscription.

Upgrading gives you more credits per month plus access to additional features.

| Iterate on a feature | 0.10–0.50 |
| Generate an image | ~$0.05 |

Costs vary based on complexity and the AI model used. These are rough estimates — actual usage depends on prompt length and output size.
