AI Credits: How they are calculated and spent
All Oprela AI functions run on credits. Learn where they come from, what they are spent on, and how to top them up.
Oprela offers dozens of AI functions: store translations, AI repair advice, content generation, marketplace listing autofill, smart automation agents, and much more. Most of these consume your workspace's AI credits.
Where credits come from
There are two sources, and they work differently:
- Monthly plan package — included in your plan, renews monthly. Unused balance does not carry over to the next month — it's a "monthly" limit, not an accumulating balance.
- Purchased packages ("Top up") — bought separately in Settings → Billing → AI Credits, never expire, and are spent only after the monthly package is exhausted.
Your current balance (both sources separately) is visible in Settings → Billing → AI Credits, along with a log of recent debit/top-up operations.
How credits are spent
Calling an AI function consumes credits proportionally to the amount of work — longer texts or more images mean more credits. Some functions (e.g., image generation or photo recognition) have a fixed cost per call regardless of volume.
For a few functions — AI website and page generator ("AI Generate" buttons and AI block editing in the website builder) and image generation in the Poster Studio — the first use per workspace is free, allowing you to try it without risk; each subsequent call consumes credits on a standard basis.
What to do when credits run out
The system provides a small buffer beyond the official limit, so blocking doesn't happen instantly at zero, but a little later. When the limit is truly exhausted, AI functions return a "Not enough credits" message and suggest topping up your balance:
- Purchase a package — Settings → Billing → AI Credits → Top up;
- or upgrade to a higher plan with a larger monthly package;
- or wait for the package to renew next month.
Regular (non-AI) functions — orders, inventory, shipping, etc. — work independently of your credit balance.
