Credits power AI generations and integrations in Anything. They’re used when you send messages to build your app and when your published app runs AI integrations.
Free plan: 3k credits to explore Anything with daily message limits. Upgrade to a paid plan for more credits per month and no message limits.

​
How credits work

Credits are used in two ways:
  1. Building your app - every message you send uses credits. Anything uses AI models to generate code, images, and more.
  2. AI integrations - when your published app runs an AI integration, it uses credits per run. Many integrations are free. You can also add Functions with your own API keys to avoid credit usage.

​
Modes

Different modes use different amounts of credits.
ModeCreditsBest for
AutoVariesPicks the right approach for you
DiscussionLowPlanning, asking questions, debugging, brainstorming
ThinkingMediumMost requests, more accurate
FastLowQuick edits, less accurate
MaxHighUses the most intelligent models, builds and tests and fixes on its own

​
Models

Anything uses a mix of models from Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), Google (Gemini), and open source. The agent picks the right model for each step to balance cost, speed, and accuracy depending on the task and project complexity. You can override the default with the model switcher. Some models are more capable but cost more credits. Others are faster and cheaper.

​
Managing credits

All plans come with a set number of credits per month.
  • Credits refill on your billing date
  • Unused monthly credits expire at the end of your billing cycle
  • Top-off credits don’t expire
  • Upgrade your plan for higher monthly limits
View your usage and manage your plan from Subscription & Credits in the dashboard.

​
Top-off credits

  • $12 for 10k credits
  • $60 for 50k credits
  • $120 for 100k credits
  • $240 for 200k credits
Top-off credits do not expire.
Subscriptions come with a 10%+ discount. It’s often cheaper to upgrade your subscription if you’re purchasing top-off credits often.

​
Optimizing usage

The agent uses a variable number of credits per prompt based on task complexity. You send a prompt, the agent thinks, plans, explores the codebase, and generates code. It might only need to change 1 file, or it might need to change 10. Fewer steps means fewer credits.
  • Use Discussion mode - plan with AI, research, ask questions, debug, brainstorm. All at low credit cost. Then switch to Thinking mode to execute.
  • Build bottoms up - get each part working from frontend to backend. Start with the UI, then add data, users, payments. Building bottoms up means fewer large turns.
  • Thinking vs. Fast - Thinking gives better results and we recommend it as your default. Better results means fewer follow-up messages, which saves credits overall. Use Fast for minor tweaks like changing a color.
  • Be specific - clear prompts reduce back-and-forth. See the prompting guide.
  • Try GPT or Gemini models - use the model switcher to try different models. They can give comparable results at a lower credit cost for some tasks.
  • Subscribe - plans come with volume discounts vs. buying top-off credits one-off.

​
Hitting your limit

When you run out, upgrade your plan or buy top-off credits to keep building.
  • While building, Anything prompts you to upgrade when you send your next message
  • For published apps with AI integrations, you’ll get an email alert from hello@anything.com as you approach your limit

​
Troubleshooting

Max mode and Thinking mode use more credits than Fast or Discussion. Complex prompts that touch many files also cost more. Try using Discussion mode to plan your approach first, then switch to Thinking to execute. You’ll use fewer credits overall because you’ll need fewer follow-up messages.
Refresh your dashboard first. Make sure you’re logged into the same account you purchased with. If the purchase button wasn’t responding, try an incognito window or clear your browser cache. If credits still don’t show after that, email hello@createanything.com.
Monthly credits refill on your billing date. Unused monthly credits expire at the end of each cycle. Top-off credits never expire.

​
Refunds

Anything does not offer refunds, but we’ll help with credit reimbursements if you run into issues. Email hello@anything.com. To cancel or change your plan, see Subscriptions.
