AI allowances and fair use
What's included when Chip builds and edits for you, before and after you activate a site.
Updated
There are no credits to buy: building and editing with Chip is included. To keep DollarSite fast and affordable for everyone, AI work comes with a fair-use allowance. Most people never notice it.
Always free and unlimited
- Click-to-edit text and picture swaps in Edit mode — they don't use AI.
- Undo and restoring versions.
- Your apps, inbox, contacts and keeping your website online.
While you're trying DollarSite (before you activate a site)
- Confirm your email first — then Chip can build and edit.
- Up to 2 full builds a day (4 in total while you're trying it out). Rebuilding a whole site is the biggest AI job.
- About 20 AI edits a day (60 in total while trying).
- Around 40 questions to Chip a day.
- Up to 2 draft websites.
If you reach a limit, Chip tells you. Come back tomorrow, or activate your site to unlock the full allowance.
When "a day" starts and ends
Your daily allowance resets at midnight your time, using the timezone on your account (Central Time unless you changed it). Your monthly allowance resets at midnight on the 1st of the month in the same timezone. Change it any time under Your account → Your timezone; see Your timezone.
Once a site is activated
- Each active website comes with a generous monthly AI allowance — enough for around ten complete rebuilds, or dozens of AI edits, every month. More active sites means a bigger allowance.
- There's also a daily limit, so a runaway script can't use up a whole month in an hour.
- You'll see a warning when you've used about three-quarters of the month's allowance. It resets on the 1st of each month.
- Plenty of questions to Chip each day (around 300).
- Chip builds one site at a time per account, so a second build waits for the first to finish.

Your visitors' AI assistant
The AI assistant on your website has its own allowance per site and doesn't use yours. If it ever reaches its limit, it keeps answering from your website's text (without AI) and still takes messages for you.
Where to see it
Chip shows a note in its panel when you're close to a limit, and you can ask Chip "How much AI allowance do I have left?" at any time.
