    Do unused Base44 credits roll over?

    Quick answer

    No, unused Base44 credits do not roll over. They reset each month, so any message or integration credits you do not use expire at the end of your billing cycle rather than stacking into the next month.

    This is the standard model for metered AI platforms: your plan refills your credit pool at the start of each cycle, and whatever you did not spend does not carry forward. It keeps pricing simple and predictable, but it does mean the value comes from using the credits you are paying for within the month.

    The good news is that this rarely hurts if you pick the right tier. The goal is not to hoard credits, it is to match a plan to your actual monthly building rhythm. If you regularly finish the month with a big pile of unused credits, that is a sign you could drop to a smaller tier and save money, not a loss you need to worry about.

    There are also no standalone top-ups, so you cannot buy extra credits mid-month or bank them for later. If you consistently run out before the cycle ends, the move is to upgrade to the next plan, which gives you a larger monthly pool. Credits flex by changing your plan, not by rolling balances around.

    To make full use of what you pay for, spread your building across the month rather than cramming it into the last few days, and connect your own external API keys where you can, since those calls do not draw from your integration credits at all. Both habits help you get maximum value from each cycle.

    If you are unsure which tier fits, start on the free plan and watch how your credits deplete over a typical week. That real usage data lets you choose a plan you will actually use up, so no-rollover stops being a concern.
