How Tokens Work in SectionAI
SectionAI uses a token-based system to help you manage your usage and only pay for what you need. Tokens are consumed every time you generate or refine a section using AI.
🧠 What are tokens used for?
Every time you:
-
🧾 Generate a new section
-
✏️ Refine or modify a section using AI Chat
→ A number of tokens will be deducted based on how complex your request is.
⚖️ Token Usage Estimates
| Action | Average Token Usage |
|---|---|
| Generate section (text only) | 5,000 – 7,000 tokens |
| Generate section (with image) | 8,000 – 15,000+ tokens |
| Refine with AI Chat | 500 – 2,000 tokens per use |
📌 Images help the AI better understand your layout, but they consume more tokens than plain text. Try to upload clean, simple references.
🆓 How much can you build with each plan?
| Plan | Monthly Tokens | What you can build (estimated) |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 50,000 | ~4 sections or 2 complex + refinements |
| Basic | 500,000 | ~40–70 sections (text/image mix) |
| Pro | 2,000,000 | ~160–300 sections |
| Premium | 5,000,000 | ~400+ sections or high usage with images |
These are only estimates — actual usage depends on your prompts, images, and refinements.
