Billing, credits, and plans
The two meters — build actions and credits — what rolls over, and what each plan includes.
Floot has two meters. Build actions meter the work your AI assistant does on your projects through the Floot connector. Credits pay for AI that Floot itself runs — image generation, any AI features running inside your own published app, and building by chatting with Floot in the editor. Where the difference matters, each answer below says which meter applies.
Which one am I spending?
- Build actions
- Spent when your AI assistant works on a project through the Floot connector — one per tool call it makes. The assistant's own thinking runs on your Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor subscription, so it costs no Floot credits. Calls that fail or are cancelled are never counted, and a handful of protective calls — checking job or publish status, listing your projects, fetching a preview URL, cancelling a request, unpublishing an app — never count either.
- Credits
- Spent when Floot runs the AI. Three things do that: generating images into a project, any
@floot/aifeature running inside your own published app — a chatbot, a summarizer, an embedding search — and building by chatting with Floot in the project editor. Everything your own assistant does through the connector is metered in build actions instead.
On a shared project
Credits always come out of the project owner's balance, not the balance of whoever is chatting. That includes images generated from a collaborator's AI assistant, and a collaborator's messages to Floot's chat in the editor.
Where do I see what I have left?
On Plan & usage, in the dashboard sidebar on floot.com. It has four tabs: Current plan, Building actions (what you have used today), AI credits (your credit balance and top-ups) and Hosting (your hosting balance and usage).
Your app builds are on the Current plan tab too: open App builds this month below the plan cards to see how many you have used, when the count starts over, and every build in this month's window with its project, date and platforms. Like build actions, app builds are counted per account. A project you collaborate on uses its owner's app builds, so its builds appear on the owner's Plan & usage, not yours. More in What counts toward your monthly app builds.
To see one project's share of your credits, open the project, click its name at the top left, choose Project Settings and look for Credits Used under Usage. It counts the AI credits that project has consumed, over a date range you can set. Plan & usage covers your whole account, so the two numbers only match if you have one project and compare the same dates. Build actions are counted per account, not per project.
Do credits roll over?
Yes — unused monthly credits roll over to the next month so you have more time to use them.
- You have one month to use rolled-over credits. If your billing period was Oct 25 → Nov 25, those credits are usable until Dec 25.
- Rollover credits are spent first, then your monthly quota, then your other credits — top-ups and bonuses, soonest-expiring first.
- A paid plan is required to use rolled-over credits.
Once your plan renews, rollover credits appear on your plan and usage page.
Monthly credits arrive once a month, on a yearly plan too. They come back at the time of day your plan started, not at midnight, and Plan & usage shows the date and time in your own time zone, with a countdown in the last 24 hours. Your hosting allowance comes back at a different moment: see Hosting allowance. If you run out, image generation, Floot's chat in the editor and the AI features in your published apps stop until you have credits again. Building through the connector carries on, and running out of credits never takes a site offline: hosting is a separate balance.

Both paid plans can also be billed yearly: Pro is $250 a year and Power $1,000 a year — two months free. Existing projects are never taken away if you end up over the project cap — you just cannot create more until you upgrade or delete one.
The free plan is not a trial and has no end date. Upgrading never resets anything: your projects, published apps, databases and files stay as they are. To change plan, switch between monthly and yearly billing, or cancel, see Managing your subscription.
Older credit-ladder plans
Subscribers on one of the older credit-ladder plans keep that plan's credits, but their build actions are metered at the free limits — an old plan bought credits, not build actions. The switch page shows exactly what moving to Pro or Power would mean for your account. The switch is one-way; what it costs and what happens to your credits is in Managing your subscription.
What happens if I run out and upgrade mid-month?
Upgrading takes effect immediately and you pay the full difference between the two plans' prices for the current billing period, whatever day of the period it is. Going from Pro to Power raises your monthly credits from 5,000 to 15,000 and your daily build actions from 1,000 to 5,000, both usable right away.
Can I buy extra credits?
Yes, on the AI credits tab of Plan & usage. It is not the tab the page opens on, so look there if you cannot find the top-up. One-time top-ups start at $20, convert at $1 = 1,000 credits, and are available the moment payment clears. They require an active paid plan, are non-refundable, and expire 60 days after purchase. Prices are in US dollars, and sales tax or VAT is added at checkout where it applies.
The same tab has Auto-reload, which is off unless you turn it on. When your credits drop below an amount you choose, Floot tops them back up to your target by charging your saved card. It becomes available after your first top-up, charges at most once every 10 minutes, and switches itself off after 3 failed charges in a row. Hosting has its own auto-reload: see Hosting.
Can I buy extra build actions?
Top-ups add credits, not build actions. If you keep running out of build actions, move up a plan — Free to Pro, Pro to Power. On Pro and Power, the message you get at the daily limit also offers an Action Boost: $5 for 5,000 extra build actions, usable for the rest of that day and all of the next, with unlimited app builds for the same window. On Power you can also have boosts bought automatically when the day's actions run out. See Build actions.
Do I need credits to build?
No. Building through the Floot connector runs on your own Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor subscription, and Floot meters it in build actions — see Build actions. Generating images is the one exception, and it spends a small number of credits from the project owner's balance. Building by chatting with Floot in the project editor is different: Floot's models do that work, so it spends credits.
How do I cancel or change my plan?
On Plan & usage. Your plan's card has Manage payment and Cancel at the bottom, and the other plan's card has the button to switch to it. A cancellation or a downgrade takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for, and can be undone until then. Step by step: Managing your subscription.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep the plan until the end of the period you paid for. After that your projects and data stay where they are, and the account moves to the free plan's limits: you keep building with your own AI assistant at 100 build actions a day, no new monthly credits arrive, and paid features such as custom domains and Get Code stop. Credits you bought, AI or hosting, stay usable until they expire; unused monthly credits and rollover credits do not.
Your published apps stay up while hosting credit lasts. After that a cancelled account is taken offline with no grace period, and its *.floot.app subdomain is released. The full list of what ends and when, and what you have to set up again if you subscribe later, is in Managing your subscription.
An app that is already in the App Store or Google Play stays listed, because the listing is in your own developer account. It still needs its Floot backend, so if the app is taken offline for hosting, the parts of it that load data stop working.
Is there a referral program?
Yes. Open Refer and earn in the dashboard sidebar (floot.com/dashboard/referrals) for your link. When someone signs up through it and pays for a subscription, you get $12.50 of Floot credit. It comes off your next Floot bills, renewals and auto-reloads included; on a paid plan you can also turn it into hosting or AI credit on that page. On the free plan it waits for your first subscription.
- Up to $300 per account in any 12 months. Unused credit expires 12 months after you get it, and it cannot be paid out as cash.
- Your link counts only for new accounts created within 90 days of first clicking it. If that payment is later refunded or disputed, the credit is taken back.
- The person who signs up gets nothing extra, and there is no reward for social posts or for signing up yourself.
