AI features run on a credit-based model: every Unlayer plan that includes AI ships with a per-period credit cap (applied at the workspace level — every project inside the workspace shares the same allowance), and every AI request consumes credits proportional to the work it does. Once a workspace runs out, the AI Assistant automatically pauses and shows an out-of-credits message in the editor until credits reset for the next billing period — or until someone with billing access chooses to top up with a credit pack.
For current plan tiers, included credits, and credit-pack pricing, see unlayer.com/pricing.
Your AI cost is capped at your workspace's plan credit allowance every period. When the cap is reached, the assistant disables itself in the editor — nothing keeps charging in the background, nothing auto-bills. Adding more credits is always opt-in (a manual credit-pack purchase or a plan upgrade you choose).
Workspaces on a paid plan get a fixed amount of one-time evaluation credits the first time AI is enabled — meant for trying out the assistant in dev or staging before committing to a credit-pack top-up. Free-plan workspaces don't receive evaluation credits — AI is a paid feature. See Trying it in development.
How credits work
- A credit is a stable, provider-agnostic unit. The same number of credits represents the same billable value across providers.
- Credits roll up across all AI surfaces and every project in a workspace — text rewrites, button copy, headings, alt text, and image generation all draw from the same per-workspace credit cap.
- The Console dashboard surfaces remaining credit at the workspace level as "X of Y credits", alongside a breakdown of usage over the current period.
What a request costs
A few rough orders of magnitude (real numbers depend on the request — see unlayer.com/pricing for current credit costs):
- AI Assistant: small edit ("translate this row", "shorten this paragraph") — tens of credits.
- AI Assistant: full template generation — hundreds to a few thousand credits, depending on output length.
- Image generation — fixed per-image cost, dozens of credits per image.
When you run out of credits
Once a workspace uses up its credits for the current period, the AI Assistant automatically pauses across every project in that workspace — users see an out-of-credits message instead of generating more, and no further credits are spent until you choose to top up. This is the cap working as designed: spend can't run away on you, and nothing rebills automatically.
Your options when this happens:
- Wait until your credits reset — credit caps roll over at the start of the next billing period.
- Buy a credit pack — Console → Billing → Add-ons exposes purchasable credit packs that top up the project's allowance immediately. Packs apply for the rest of the current period and roll over according to your add-on terms.
- Upgrade the plan — higher plans ship with larger built-in caps.
If a workspace's plan doesn't include any AI credits, the assistant stays unavailable across every project in that workspace — AI is gated behind plans that include a credit allowance.
Trying it in development
Every Unlayer workspace — including ones you use only for dev or staging — draws from the same per-period credit cap on its plan; there's no separate "free dev tier" that doesn't count. Instead, Unlayer grants workspaces on a paid plan a fixed amount of one-time evaluation credits the first time AI is enabled, so embedders can prototype against the real assistant before deciding whether to top up with a credit pack.
Behavior:
- Paid plans only. AI is a paid feature, so free-plan workspaces don't receive evaluation credits.
- Granted automatically the first time
features.ai.assistant: trueresolves on a project in an eligible workspace. No flag, no extra contract, no extra card needed beyond the plan itself. - Single workspace bucket — the eval credits and the plan's per-period credits share the same per-workspace allowance. Whichever is non-zero gets spent.
- One-time — eval credits aren't refilled. Once they're gone, the workspace follows the regular out-of-credits flow: wait for the next billing period, buy a credit pack, or upgrade to a higher plan.
Dev workspaces don't get special pricing past the evaluation grant — the same rates apply, so credit costs you observe in dev are representative of production.
