GUIDE
Understanding Credits
How the credit system works — daily resets, monthly pools, and plan tiers.
How Credits Work
Every action in Valmera that uses AI — building a new app, sending a follow-up edit, or running Planner Mode — costs credits. Your credit balance is shown in the Studio at all times.
You see a single combined balance, but under the hood there are two separate pools: daily credits and monthly credits. Valmera automatically spends daily credits first, then draws from the monthly pool.
Daily vs Monthly Credits
DAILY CREDITS
- 20 credits every day
- Reset at midnight UTC
- Available on all plans (including free)
- Do not accumulate — unused daily credits expire
- Spent first before monthly credits
MONTHLY CREDITS
- Set by your subscription plan
- Refresh on each billing renewal date
- Paid plans only (Plus, Pro, Ultra)
- Do not accumulate — unused monthly credits are wiped on renewal
- Used only after daily credits are exhausted

Tips to Maximize Credits
- Use HB-6 for drafts. Start with the cheapest model to get the structure right, then switch to a higher model for polish.
- Write detailed prompts. A clear, specific prompt produces a better first build and reduces the number of follow-up messages needed.
- Use Planner Mode for complex apps. Spending 1 extra credit on planning often saves 3-5 credits that would have been spent on corrections.
- Start from templates. Templates are free to clone. You only spend credits on the customization messages.
- Batch your edits. Instead of sending five separate follow-up messages, combine related changes into one message when possible.
