Add Credit Top-Up Option Without Forcing a Plan Upgrade

I'm currently on the Builder plan and consistently run out of credits well before my monthly reset date. The only option available is to upgrade to a more expensive plan tier, which feels like an unnecessary and costly workaround for what should be a simple issue.

What makes this more frustrating is that I’ve already paid for lower-tier subscriptions twice, only to run into the exact same limitation each time — exhausting credits early with no flexible way to continue without upgrading entirely. That experience makes the system feel restrictive rather than scalable.

Why this matters:

  • I'm paying for a full billing period but unable to use the service for the entire duration once credits run out

  • Being forced into higher plans just to continue working creates avoidable cost pressure

  • It gives the impression of being “locked out” mid-cycle unless I spend more

  • Many SaaS platforms offer flexible credit top-ups or add-ons without forcing a full plan upgrade

What I’m requesting:

  • A credit top-up option — allow users to purchase additional credits mid-cycle at a fair rate

  • Or credit rollover — unused credits carry forward to the next billing cycle

These options would make the platform feel far more user-friendly and sustainable for active builders.

I genuinely enjoy building on Base44 and want to keep using it long-term, but the current credit model makes that difficult to justify. A more flexible system would go a long way in improving user retention and overall experience.
