How credits work in frascati
Credits pay for the AI work. What a new website, a change and a question use, how many credits each plan includes and what packs cost.
Updated September 25, 2026
Credits pay for the AI work in frascati. Small changes use little, a whole new website a bit more. Here is what typical requests use, what each plan includes and what to do when you need more.
How credits are calculated
Every time frascati works on your site, it uses credits. How many depends on how much work the request needs. Typical amounts:
| What you do | Credits |
|---|---|
| A new website with several pages | About 3 |
| Most changes | Less than 1 |
| A question in Plan mode | 0.1 to 0.5 |
| Fixing an error in the preview | Free, up to 10 a day |
Because credits follow the work a request needs, a small text change uses a fraction of a credit, while a request that touches many pages uses more. Plan mode costs little: it answers your question and does not change your site.
Credits in each plan
Each plan comes with credits that renew every month:
| Plan | Price a month | Credits a month |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $12 | 30 |
| Pro | From $29 | From 80 |
| Business | From $69 | From 190 |
Starter always has 30 credits a month. Pro and Business can be booked with more credits a month for a higher price, up to 5,000. Paying yearly costs 10 months instead of 12. Plan credits renew every month and do not carry over to the next month.
Every plan starts with a free 3-day trial with 20 credits. A card is required. If you cancel before the trial ends, nothing is charged; otherwise the plan you chose starts. frascati is a paid product, and the trial is the way to try it.
The plans also differ in what you can publish: Starter includes 3 published sites and 50 form messages a month, Pro 10 sites and 200 messages, and Business an unlimited number of both. With Pro and Business, you can also use your own domains. The pricing page lists everything.
When you need more
If you run out before the month ends, buy a credit pack:
| Pack | Price |
|---|---|
| 22 credits | $10 |
| 60 credits | $25 |
| 125 credits | $50 |
Packs are available once your plan has started, after the trial. Their credits stay until you use them. If you run out every month, a bigger plan may suit you better: Pro and Business cost less per credit than the packs, though their credits renew each month instead of staying.
How to use fewer credits
- Ask first in Plan mode. A question uses 0.1 to 0.5 credits and does not change your site.
- Give the facts up front. Prices, opening hours and services in your first message save rounds of changes later.
- Be specific. “Make the about page shorter and put our phone number in the header” is clearer than “improve the site”.
- Let frascati fix errors in the preview. That is free, up to 10 times a day.
- Go back instead of undoing. If a change did not work out, restore the previous version rather than asking for the change to be reversed.
Frequently asked questions
- Do unused credits carry over?
- Plan credits do not: they renew every month. Credits from packs do: they stay until you use them.
- Why do some changes use less than one credit?
- Credits follow the AI work a request needs. A small change needs little work, so it uses a fraction of a credit.
- What does the trial include?
- 3 days and 20 credits on the plan you chose. A card is required. If you cancel before the trial ends, you are not charged.
- Can I buy credit packs during the trial?
- No. Packs are available once your plan has started, after the trial.
- Which AI do my credits pay for?
- frascati uses Anthropic's Claude models. Claude Opus 5.5 builds new websites and Claude Sonnet 5.5 makes the changes.
- Can I cancel?
- Yes, at any time in the settings. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
