Editing your site by hand is free and unlimited. Asking the builder to do something costs credits, whatever the change is.

## Free, always

Everything on this list is unmetered.

- **Editing by hand.** Copy, images, phone numbers, addresses and opening hours, as many times as it takes.
- **Publishing.** Push a change live as often as you want.
- **Staging, drafting and reverting.** Changing your mind costs nothing.
- **Your live site.** It keeps serving visitors whatever your balance says.

## Why it is priced this way

The meter follows the work, not the label.

- **We are billed what a turn costs to run**, so you are billed what it cost.
- **Nothing is priced by category.** You never have to guess which side of a line your request falls on.
- **Editing by hand stays free**, so you never have a reason to leave a typo on your site.

## What costs credits

One rule, and it covers everything.

- **Every turn you ask the builder for.** A credit pays for the work the AI does.
- **The price is what the turn cost to run.** A small ask costs less than a big one, and no ask is free.
- **You pay at the asking, not at the shipping.** Publishing what comes back costs nothing.
- **And only when it works.** A failed generation is not charged, up to the limit set out in the [terms](/legal/terms/).

## The practical consequence

Two habits worth forming.

- **Fix small copy by hand.** It is free, it is faster than asking, and it leaves your credits for work only the builder can do.
- **Say the whole change in one go**, since it is the asking that costs. One clear request does less work than five that circle it.
