Are AI credits unusable for anyone else?

Was super excited for the Softr AI update but realized I will not be able to use it much… Adding one button to a previously built vibe coded block burned 10% of my monthly credits.

There is no way to select models, understand where usage is going, or optimize. The vibe coding aspect of Softr is pretty much unuseable after 5-10 prompts and trying to build anything serious will plow it to the ground almost immediately :frowning:

For reference, one prompt burned all my 50 monthly credits last month.

Similar experience. On a Business plan ($323/month), I burned through the 100-credit limit in about 10–15 prompts.

The vibe-coded block relies on undocumented imports such as:

  • UI components: @/components/ui/xxx
  • Data interaction: @/lib/datasource
  • Settings: @/lib/editable-settings

So this makes ‘just ask ChatGPT/Claude and paste in the results’ a poor option too. I could probably spend credits trying to get the vibe code block to reveal the documentation it uses internally, but I haven’t had the credits to burn…

Yes, I’d come to much the same conclusion. We’re on the Pro plan and therefore get 50 credits, which basically means any live implementation of AI is largely pointless. I now avoid Vibe Coding on any core pages.
