# Plans and Credits

> Understanding Vibecode pricing, plans, and credit system

## Wholesale Credit Pricing

Vibecode uses a wholesale credit system: **$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

Post about Vibecode on X, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, Reddit, Threads, or Bluesky. Then log into Vibecode and click the credits section (bottom left on web, or Profile/Settings on mobile) to redeem.

### 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](https://www.vibecodeapp.com/account/subscription).

### Upgrade Your Plan

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