AI Credits Explained
Coursebox uses several types of credits and allowances to power its AI features. This article explains how each works and what you get on each plan.

What are AI page credits?
AI page credits are consumed whenever the AI generates or rewrites course content — pages, lessons, outlines, refinements, and so on. They're the most commonly used credit type and apply to most AI course-building actions.
Monthly vs yearly billing
Monthly plans receive their credit allowance each month. Unused credits don't roll over.
Yearly plans receive the full year's credits upfront, on day one. For example, a Plus user on an annual plan receives all 60,000 page credits at the start of the year, to use however they like across the twelve months.

What if I run out? (How to buy more or top up)
You can top up in a couple of minutes:
Click the Upgrade button on the right side of the top bar — it appears on any screen inside your account.
In the popup, you'll see your current plan alongside all plans and add-on packs.
Select the add-on pack you need and follow the prompts to checkout.
Add-on packs are available for AI page credits, chatbot messages, images, SCORM imports, and AI video. See current options at coursebox.ai/pricing, or the full step-by-step guide: How to buy extra AI credits & add-on packs.
If you find yourself regularly hitting limits, upgrading your plan — or switching to annual — is usually better value than buying repeat add-ons. Annual plans give you more credits from day one for less than monthly billing.
Will my credits be enough?
A rough way to estimate: every AI-generated lesson page typically uses one AI page credit. So 500 monthly credits on Creator covers about 500 pages of AI-generated content per month. If you're building one course of 20–30 lessons a month, Creator's allowance is comfortable. If you're producing several courses or constantly refining content, Plus or Pro is the better fit.
