# Understanding Credits

> Learn how HelloLeo's credit system works

HelloLeo uses a credit system to track usage. Understanding how credits work helps you manage your account effectively.

## How Credits Work

**1 prompt = 1 credit**

Each time you send a message to Leo asking for new features or changes, it counts as one credit.

## What Counts as a Credit?

### Counts as 1 Credit:

* Asking Leo to build a new feature
* Requesting modifications to existing code
* Adding new functionality
* Creating new pages or components
* Fixing errors that Leo made
* Correcting mistakes in generated code
* Asking Leo to retry after an error
* Clarification questions

### Does NOT Count as a Credit:

* **Autodebug** - Automatic error fixing when Autodebug is enabled in project settings

## Why This System?

This system ensures that:

* You're only charged for actual development work
* Automatic error fixes through Autodebug don't count against your quota

## Managing Your Credits

* **Check your balance** - View your remaining credits in your account settings
* **Upgrade your plan** - Get more credits by upgrading your subscription
* **Use credits wisely** - Be specific in your prompts to get the most value

## Free Credits

New users receive free credits to get started:

* **GitHub/Google signups**: 20 free credits
* **Email signups**: Credits vary by plan
