AI credits explained
What are AI credits?
Think of credits as the fuel for your AI builds. Every time you ask the AI to create or change something, it uses credits — and the more complex the change, the more credits it takes. Small text or color changes use around 1 credit, new pages or sections around 2, and larger redesigns up to 10. To put that in perspective, 150 credits is enough to build 2–3 new pages from scratch, or make around 50 individual changes. If you need more, you can upgrade your plan anytime.
What happens if I run out of credits?
On Starter and Plus, your AI builds pause until your credits reset at the start of the next month. On the Unlimited plan, you can build as much as you want. You can upgrade your plan anytime to add more credits.
Does my website use credits after it’s online?
No. Once your website is live, it runs on its own on robust IONOS infrastructure. Credits are only used when you're actively building or making AI-powered changes. Your visitors can use your website all day long without touching your credit balance.
Do manual edits use credits?
No. If you click directly into your project and edit text yourself, it's completely free. Credits are only used when you ask the AI to make changes via a prompt. So feel free to fix a label, adjust a headline, or make a quick text change manually without worrying about your balance.
Can I add more credits without changing my plan?
Not yet, but credit top-ups are coming soon. For now, you can upgrade to a higher plan anytime to get more monthly credits.

AI Site Builder — FAQs
Do I need coding skills to use the AI Site Builder?
No. You don't need any coding or design skills. Just describe the website you want in your own words, and the AI turns it into a complete, working website you can publish with one click.
Which plan is right for my project?
Pick the plan that matches your goals, whether you want to test an idea or manage a portfolio of up to 25 websites. You can switch to a bigger plan at any time.
- Explorer: 1 website and 50 AI credits to try your idea.
- Starter: 1 website and 150 AI credits per month to get you started.
- Plus: up to 10 websites and 300 AI credits per month as your projects grow.
- Unlimited: up to 25 websites and unlimited AI credits per month for maximum creative freedom.
How many AI credits do I get?
Your plan determines how many credits you get. Each AI task uses credits based on its scope:
- Small tweaks, like changing text, colors, or fonts, use about 1 credit.
- Adding a new page or section uses about 2 credits.
- Bigger redesigns use up to 10 credits.
With 150 credits per month on the Starter plan, you can build 2–3 new pages or make about 50 individual changes. Need more? Upgrade your plan at any time.
What kinds of websites can I build with the AI Site Builder?
The AI Site Builder handles everything from a first online presence to a refresh of your existing website. A few examples:
- Business websites for contractors, law firms, or agencies
- Websites for restaurants and hotels
- Portfolios for freelancers
- Landing pages for events and promotions
Just tell the chat about your business and your ideas. The AI creates a draft you can publish on IONOS infrastructure with one click.
How does building a website by chat work?
Think of it as a conversation. Tell the chat what you want, for example, “Build a modern website for my Italian restaurant with a menu, a photo gallery, and a contact form.” The AI creates the layout and suggests text and images to match. To make changes, just ask, by typing or by voice, for example, “Add a section for customer reviews.”
How is the AI Site Builder different from the Website Builder?
With the AI Site Builder, you chat and the AI does the building: you describe your goal, and it creates the structure, layout, and content. It's the fastest way to a finished website.
With the Website Builder, you design every detail yourself in a drag-and-drop editor with flexible templates. AI features can help with text and images, but you stay in full control of every element's layout.
Do I own the websites I create with the AI Site Builder?
Yes, you create your project and are responsible for its content. Protecting your data is our top priority at IONOS: your website runs on IONOS's own infrastructure and is operated in a fully GDPR compliant manner.
