If you're wondering why your HeyBoss credits are running out faster than expected, it’s important to understand how your credits are being used. HeyBoss credits cover all development and hosting costs for your website or app, both during the development phase and after your website is published.

Where Do Your Credits Go?

1. AI Development & Revision Costs

When you're building and revising your website or app with HeyBoss, AI tools are working behind the scenes to design, develop, and refine your project. These processes include:

  • AI Product Manager: Understanding your needs and suggesting website or app solutions.

  • AI Designer: Crafting a sleek, user-friendly UI/UX design.

  • AI Backend Engineer: Structuring the database and ensuring everything works smoothly.

  • AI DevOps: Testing and fixing bugs to ensure your app or site is fully functional.

Each step of this process uses credits as the AI works to bring your project to life, whether through conversations, editing, or using different tools like the toolbox or design assistants.

2. Third-Party Services and Integrations

When your website or app goes live and interacts with third-party services, like OpenAI, ElevenLabs, and Flux AI, it may consume credits based on user activity. These services are automatically managed and billed through your HeyBoss account, so you don’t need separate accounts or payments for them.

Let’s say you’ve created:

If you've created an AI girlfriend app, for instance, the app may use OpenAI’s API for generating responses and ElevenLabs for text-to-speech services.

Every time a visitor uses the app, these third-party services call APIs, and the corresponding costs are deducted from your credits.

With HeyBoss, you don’t have to manage or pay for these services separately. We handle the setup, payment, and integration, so you can focus on your project while we ensure everything runs smoothly.

3. Hosting and Maintenance

Even after your website or app is published, hosting and maintaining it incurs ongoing costs. HeyBoss credits are used to cover the expenses of hosting, managing data, and ensuring that your website or app remains live and fully functional for visitors.


HeyBoss credits power the full lifecycle of your website or app—from development to post-launch. These credits cover the cost of AI services, third-party integrations, hosting, and more. The key is that every action you take—whether building, revising, or running your site—uses credits in different ways. By understanding how your credits are spent, you can better manage and optimize your usage.

Remember, you can always monitor your credit balance in your HeyBoss dashboard and top up as needed to keep your projects running smoothly! 🚀
