Credit Spending Strategies

Here's a breakdown of credit ranges by task type, based on real sessions.

Edits, components and sections

• •Quick edit (reword, restyle, or fix in one message): ~2–10 credits
• •Images (generate, swap, or place): ~1–6 credits
• •Page duplication (clone an existing page, or a bit more if you tweak it as you go): ~0–5 credits
• •Components and sections (a multi-prompt adjustment or full rework — repositioning, swapping assets, changing layout): ~20–60 credits

Building a page from scratch

These ranges cover the whole conversation including refinement prompts, not just a single generation. Most of a page's cost comes from refinement, which is why the bands overlap rather than stack neatly.

• •Simple page (mostly static, a few sections): ~60–130 credits
• •Average page (form + 1–2 interactive components): ~105–195 credits
• •Complex page (more than 2 complex components): ~135–250 credits

Campaigns and research

For these tasks, Flint researches your site for brand context, browses each competitor or target account, and plans the structure before building. Research is bundled into the range, not charged separately.

• •Comparison page (Flint researches each competitor and builds the matrix; typical run is 5 competitors): ~80–140 credits total (~40 for the first competitor, +~15–30 per additional)
• •ABM microsite (spin up ~20 variants in one build, with Flint researching each target account): ~85–115 credits total (~50 base build, +~2–3 per variant)

Components are leverage

Build a component once and reuse it anywhere. Edit a shared component and the change ripples across every page that uses it — with no per-page charge.

If you run out of credits mid-cycle, paid-plan customers can purchase reload bundles of 500 credits for $65 each. You can buy as many bundles as you need, and reloaded credits are valid for 12 months from purchase.

Reloads are useful for one-time bursts — a campaign launch, a batch of pages for an event — where your monthly allocation isn't enough. If you're buying reloads regularly, it's worth comparing the cost against upgrading to the next plan tier, which gives you a larger monthly pool.

Unused credits do not roll over. At the end of each billing cycle, any remaining credits expire.

The exception is annual billing: on an annual plan, your credits are valid for the full 12 months rather than resetting each month. If your usage is uneven — quieter periods followed by heavier publishing pushes — annual billing lets you carry credit from slow months into busy ones without losing it.

Annual billing also saves 20% compared to monthly pricing across all paid tiers.

You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time.

• •Upgrading: You'll be charged a prorated amount for the remainder of your billing cycle and gain access to the higher credit allocation immediately. This is useful if you're approaching your limit ahead of a busy period and don't want to rely on reload bundles.
• •Downgrading: The change takes effect at the start of your next billing cycle. Your current plan and credit allocation remain active until then.

Running out of credits does not affect your live site:

• •Published pages remain live on your domain
• •You can still view your site and access the Flint editor
• •You cannot make edits until you purchase more credits or your plan renews

If you know a high-volume period is coming, check your balance beforehand and top up proactively rather than getting blocked mid-campaign.

If a page creation or edit fails but credits were consumed, contact support@tryflint.com. The support team will review the logs and reinstate credits for confirmed failed operations.

Signs of a failed operation:

• •A page appeared to be created but is not visible in your sidebar
• •The editor showed an error mid-creation
• •Credits were charged but the expected output did not appear

• •Credits and Billing
• •Pricing
