With your own API key you pay the provider directly; AI Credits is the optional alternative with one predictable balance.
Agencies don't find out which client drove the cost until the invoice lands, making accurate billing guesswork. And trying it out usually means handing over a credit card first.
AI Credits removes that guesswork. One prepaid balance funds every AI feature in TYPO3 at a published price, with budget caps per extension and usergroup, and a per-site
usage log agencies can bill clients from directly. The free trial needs no card: start AI Credits with your name and email.
You always know what you're getting, and you can never be billed more than you chose to pay.
What Credits Actually Buy
We publish exactly what a credit gets you. Figures are typical sizes, not guarantees - a long page costs more than a short one.
The TYPO3 backend shows a live estimate before every action.
Predictable costs, full transparency, and complete control over how your team uses AI in TYPO3.
Prepaid means the number you budgeted is the number you can ever spend.
From solo site owners to enterprise teams, AI Credits scales with you: one prepaid balance, budget caps per extension and usergroup, and a per-site usage log.
Manage AI costs across multiple client projects without losing control.
Keep AI spending simple and predictable across your client work.
Give your team predictable AI access without adding another procurement process.
Set clear spending rules while keeping AI usage visible across the team.

Pack credits stay valid until 31 December of the third year after purchase. Plans suit steady, ongoing work; packs suit project spikes such as a relaunch or migration. Plan credits are always spent first, so your long-life pack credits are never burned by an expiring monthly allowance.
Every licence, every site, and any custom extension on your account draws from the same balance. Our usual single-site licensing rule doesn't apply to credits.
Your usage log itemises every operation by site, so you can attribute AI cost to the right client without a separate tracking system.
Credits work identically on development, staging, local and production installs. For volume pricing across many production domains on your TYPO3 product licences, see our Partner Program. Credit pricing itself is the same at every account size.
Because it isn't in TYPO3. Every page means copy out, paste in, paste back, reformat, repeat. Our features write directly into the right fields across a whole site in one operation, and they know the site's structure and tone. The AI is the cheap part - the integration is the product.
Unlimited pricing means either a much higher price to cover heavy users, or throttling nobody tells you about. Credits mean you pay for what you use and can see exactly what you're getting.
No. Credits are optional. You can connect your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama or any compatible provider and pay them directly - that's how the product works by default. Credits exist for teams who'd rather not manage keys and billing with an AI provider.
Monthly plan credits refresh each period. If your usage is uneven, a smaller plan plus top-up packs is usually the better fit, since pack credits stay valid for over three years.
Every operation's credit cost is published before you buy, the backend shows an estimate before each action, and your usage log itemises every operation with its cost and the site it came from.
The feature pauses and offers a top-up inside the TYPO3 backend. Nothing is lost, and nothing is billed without you choosing it. There is no auto-recharge.
Yes. One balance covers every licence and every site on your account. Your usage log shows which site each operation came from, so you can attribute costs internally.
Yes. Credits work on development, staging, local and production installs, from the same balance.
No. Credits pay for AI usage only; each extension is licensed separately. You can hold licences and never buy a credit, or hold a large balance and still need a licence for a new extension.
Yes, any time, in the AI Providers module. Your credit balance is unaffected by switching.
