In short: Yes — fixing AI mistakes still uses credits.

</aside>

Fixing mistakes with Shipper’s AI uses credits. Every time you run the AI (whether it’s to build something new, make an edit, or correct an error), Shipper processes your request with powerful AI models, and that costs credits.

Why sometimes credits are still used

Shipper doesn’t charge for “success” or “failure” - it charges for processing.

When you ask the AI to make a change, it sends your request through our systems, runs the models, and applies updates to your app. This happens the same way whether you’re fixing an AI slip-up or building something new.

Think of it like ⚡ electricity ⚡ → turning on a light uses energy, even if you only needed it for a second. Running the AI uses credits, no matter what the output looks like.

Tips to reduce wasted credits

• Be specific with prompts → clear instructions mean fewer retries
• Make small edits → adjust one part of the app at a time instead of asking for big changes
• Preview first → use the demo at app.shipper.now/demo
