# Plans & credits

GenVibe is free to start. You build using **credits**, and you can subscribe to a paid plan for a monthly credit refill and access to the most capable AI models.

## What is a credit?

A credit is a unit of building. Credits are used as the AI works on your app — a large, complex build uses more credits than a small tweak, because it's doing more work. You're never charged a flat amount per message; usage scales with the size of the change.

## Which AI models do I get?

* **Free** uses **Claude Sonnet** — fast and very capable for most apps.
* **Every paid plan (Standard *****and***** Pro)** unlocks **Claude Opus**, the most capable model, best for complex, multi-feature apps and tricky logic.

You can pick your model from the model menu in the prompt toolbar. Opus shows a 🔒 until you're on a paid plan.

## Standard vs Pro

Both Standard and Pro include the same models — including Opus. The difference is capacity:

* **Standard** lets you pick a monthly credit tier (100, 250, 500, 1,000, or 2,000) and scale up or down as you build more.
* **Pro** gives you 750 credits a month plus **priority processing** for heavier, more complex projects.

Most people start on Standard and move up as they need more.

## Running out of credits

When your balance is used up, you'll be prompted to upgrade (Free) — or, on a paid plan, your monthly pool refills on your renewal date. You can also **buy extra credit packs** anytime; purchased credits never expire while your plan is active.

## Upgrading

Head to the [pricing page](https://genvibe.pro/pricing), choose a plan, and check out. Your account upgrades immediately and Opus unlocks right away.
