If you need more AIWA credits before your next plan allocation, you can purchase additional credits directly from your account. These are called top-up credits. Top-ups let you keep building without waiting for your next monthly credit allocation or changing your subscription. Top-up credits start at 100 credits for $20, and purchased top-up credits do not expire.

​
When Should I Top Up?

A top-up is useful when you’ve used most or all of your available plan credits but want to continue building. For example:
You might need additional credits because you’re:
  • Building a larger application
  • Working on several projects
  • Making more iterations than usual
  • Building applications for clients
  • Debugging and improving an existing product
  • Having a particularly busy month
You don’t need to upgrade your entire subscription just because you temporarily need more credits.

​
Top-Up Pricing

AIWA top-ups start at:
100 credits for $20
That means additional credits are currently priced at:
$0.20 per credit
For example:
The amount displayed inside AIWA at checkout is the final price for the top-up you’ve selected.

​
Choosing a Top-Up Amount

AIWA gives you two ways to add credits. Choose a predefined package If one of the available credit packages matches what you need, simply select it. The entry package starts at:
Enter a custom amount If you need a different amount, use the Custom option. Enter the number of credits you want to purchase, subject to the minimum amount supported by AIWA. AIWA will calculate the corresponding price before you complete the purchase. This is particularly useful if you’re planning a larger build and already have an idea of how much additional capacity you need.

​

Always review the credit quantity and total displayed at checkout before completing your purchase.

​
Top-Up Credits Do Not Expire

Credits you purchase as a top-up do not expire. You don’t have to use them during the month you purchase them. For example:
This makes top-ups useful for keeping additional building capacity available when you need it.

​
Your Plan Credits Are Used First

If you have both plan credits and purchased top-up credits, AIWA automatically uses your plan credits first. Your top-up balance is used after your available plan credits have been exhausted. For example:
You don’t need to manually choose which balance AIWA should use.

​
When Will My Credits Appear?

After a successful top-up payment, the purchased credits should be added to your AIWA account. You can check your current balance inside AIWA. Aiwa Credit Balance If your payment completed successfully but your balance hasn’t updated, refresh your account before trying the purchase again. If the credits still don’t appear, contact AIWA Support with the email address associated with your account and details of the transaction.
If you’ve already been charged, don’t repeatedly purchase the same top-up because your balance hasn’t refreshed. Contact Support if the payment succeeded but the credits are missing.

​
How Much Should I Top Up?

You can use AIWA’s typical action costs to estimate how many additional credits you might need. For example: A 100-credit $20 top-up, for example, could provide roughly enough capacity for:
Actual usage depends on what you ask AIWA to do. A typical full build is approximately 50 credits, while the other standard action costs follow AIWA’s current credit model.

​
Top Up or Upgrade?

This is an important distinction. Top up when… Your higher usage is occasional. For example:
I’m launching a new product this month and need another 300 credits.
or:
I have a new client project and need some additional building capacity.
A top-up lets you handle that temporary increase without changing your subscription. Consider upgrading when… You’re consistently purchasing additional credits because your normal plan allocation isn’t enough. For example:
At that point, a higher plan or larger recurring credit allocation may be a better fit.

​
You Don’t Need to Top Up to Publish

Remember:
Publishing costs 0 credits.
If you’ve finished building and have very few credits remaining, you don’t need to purchase more credits simply to publish the application.
Your available plan features still determine the publishing options available to you.

​
Top-Ups Don’t Replace Your Monthly Allocation

Purchasing additional credits doesn’t cancel or replace the credits included with your plan. Think of your account as:
When your next plan allocation arrives, it is added according to your plan while your unused top-up credits remain available.
