Copilot points
Copilot points are what your conversations with DZBuild Copilot are metered in. Every plan receives points automatically each month, you get 5 welcome points the first time you open the chat, and you can buy more at /dashboard/copilot/points.
Points are not AI credits. They are two separate balances that pay for two different things — see the comparison below.
What a point buys
A point is one unit of conversation. In practice:
| Message | Roughly |
|---|---|
| A normal question or a small change | 1 to 2 points |
| A job with several steps — set up a store, build a whole landing page | more |
| A web search, or a document you attached | more, because everything you send enters the conversation |
Copilot's reply, the work it does in your store, and anything you attach are all metered on the same balance. Your balance is shown with one decimal, so partial use is visible.
What you get free, every month
Points are added automatically at the start of each month, based on the best plan among the stores you own:
| Plan | Points per month |
|---|---|
| Free | 5 |
| Pro | 20 |
| Unlimited | 60 |
| Enterprise | 150 |
Plus 5 welcome points the first time you ever open Copilot.
The monthly points are added to what you already have; they do not replace it. Nothing expires. If you did not use last month's points, they are still there.
Buying more
| Pack | You pay | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | 400 DZD | 20 points |
| Standard — most popular | 1,000 DZD | 60 points +5 free = 65 |
| Pro | 2,200 DZD | 150 points +15 free = 165 |
| Business | 5,000 DZD | 400 points +50 free = 450 |
- Open
/dashboard/copilot/pointsfrom the sidebar. - Pick a pack and click Buy.
- Pay with your CIB or Edahabia card. That is the rail the points page offers — there is no bank transfer or receipt upload for points.
Points are added automatically a few minutes after the payment settles. While that is happening the purchase shows as paid — being added in your purchase history on the same page; once it lands the row reads added.
A point you buy arrives as a whole point. There is no conversion and no fee taken out of it.
Reading your balance
The points page shows your balance, the plan your monthly grant is based on, the time it was last updated, and your last ten purchases. The number is a snapshot that refreshes regularly, so it can lag your very latest message by a few minutes.
If the balance shows a dash instead of a number, you have never opened Copilot on that account — open the chat once and the balance appears.
When you run out
Copilot pauses and shows a message with a link back to the points page. Nothing is lost:
- Your conversations stay exactly where they are.
- Your store is untouched — anything already done stays done.
- Buy points and continue in the same chat.
There is no automatic top-up and no charge you did not choose. Copilot simply stops until you refill it.
Points vs AI credits
DZBuild has two AI balances. They are not interchangeable.
| Copilot points | AI credits | |
|---|---|---|
| Pay for | Conversations with Copilot | The AI landing-page generator |
| Scope | Your account — one balance for all your stores | Per store — credits on one store cannot be spent on another |
| Free monthly | Yes, on every plan (5 / 20 / 60 / 150) | Enterprise only |
| Typical cost | 1 to 2 points per message | 20 credits for a medium page, 45 for a tall one |
| Where to buy | /dashboard/copilot/points | /dashboard/ai-credits |
Building a landing page section by section through Copilot costs only points. Asking it to generate a complete page with AI spends that store's AI credits on top. Copilot tells you before it starts, and a failed generation refunds the credits.
Frequently asked questions
Q: Do I need to buy points to use Copilot? A: No. Every plan receives points every month, and you get 5 welcome points on first use. Packs are for merchants who want more.
Q: Do points expire? A: No. Monthly points and bought points stay in your account until you spend them.
Q: Are points per store or per account? A: Per account. One balance covers every store you own.
Q: I own several stores on different plans. Which grant do I get? A: The best one. The monthly grant follows the highest plan among the stores you own that are active.
Q: Can I pay for points by bank transfer or with an international card? A: No. The points page offers instant CIB / Edahabia card payment only.
Q: My plan expired. What happens to my points? A: The points stay on your account, but Copilot disappears from the sidebar until you renew.
