Webster Credits are prepaid usage units for Webster services. They are not cash.
See Pricing for plans and purchasing, and the Terms of Service for the legal framework. The billing dashboard in Account is the source for actual measured consumption.
What is a Webster Credit?
1 Credit = €0.01 of Webster usage.
Usage may consume fractional Credits. The displayed Credit balance may include decimals. The billing dashboard shows the measured amount.
Credits can be used for:
- AI
- image generation
- database reads and writes
- database storage
- compute
Current public rates:
| Usage | Credits |
|---|---|
| 1,000 Mongo/database reads | 1 |
| 100 Mongo/database writes | 3 |
| 1 GB database storage per month | 5 |
| 300 GB-seconds compute | 1 |
| 1 image generation | 10 |
| AI | Depends on model and actual usage |
Build usage
AI
AI usage varies depending on:
- the selected model
- token, input, and output usage
- actual provider usage
The billed amount follows actual usage for that generation. Credits are not automatically restored merely because a generation is unsuccessful, incomplete, undesirable, or needs another attempt — except where legally required or where Webster expressly grants a refund.
Example display: 51.283 Credits AI.
Image generation
Each image generation uses 10 Credits.
Runtime usage
Database reads
1,000 Mongo/database reads use 1 Credit.
Database writes
100 Mongo/database writes use 3 Credits.
Database storage
1 GB of database storage per month uses 5 Credits.
Compute
300 GB-seconds of compute uses 1 Credit. This includes compute used while you work in the builder.
Example displays: 3.293 Credits compute; 0.427 Credits database.
Free actions
These actions currently do not consume Credits:
- preview ensure (opening or keeping a preview session)
- publishing
- connector HTTP proxy
Static hosting remains included on every plan.
Expiry
- Included Credits from your subscription expire at the end of the applicable billing period. Unused included Credits do not carry over.
- Top-up Credits you purchase expire 12 months (365 days) after purchase.
- Consumption order: Credits with the earliest expiry are used first — monthly included Credits, then Top-up Credits.
- After a paid plan ends, Top-up Credits stay on the account until they expire, but using them for AI and other metered usage requires an active paid plan. Preview, publish, and the connector HTTP proxy currently do not consume Credits.
When the available Credit balance is exhausted, services that require Credits may pause until you top up or upgrade. Preview, publish, and the connector proxy stay available.

Open Account → Subscription & billing for your available Credits, Credits used, and usage by category (AI, images, database, compute). Totals may show decimals. That view is authoritative for what was actually measured.
