Do you need Elementor AI credits to build a site with AI?
By Felipe Lima, founder of Themeasy · Last checked
Elementor now offers three ways to build with AI: Elementor AI inside the editor, the Angie plugin, and the Elementor MCP for outside tools such as Claude. Themeasy AI takes another road. Your own Claude builds the whole site on a Themeasy theme, and our plugin installs it. Here is what each one does, what it costs you, and when to pick which.
The short answer
-
Choose Themeasy AI if…
you want a complete site from one conversation (the pages, the header and footer, the menu, the forms and the site settings) on a Themeasy theme, paid for by the Claude plan you already have instead of a pool of credits.
-
Choose Elementor's AI if…
you want AI on the page you are editing (copy, images, code and layouts) on any theme, or Angie's site chores such as bulk edits, custom widgets and debugging.
-
Already on the Elementor MCP?
It is free to connect and builds Elementor pages as drafts. Themeasy AI goes further on a Themeasy theme, with the whole site checked before it reaches WordPress.
Themeasy AI beside Elementor's AI
Elementor's column covers Elementor AI and Angie as Elementor describes them, and its MCP where it matters. Themeasy's column covers Themeasy AI, which comes with the Pro and Agency plans.
| Area | Themeasy AI | Elementor AI and Angie |
|---|---|---|
| Who does the thinking | Your own AI, in the Claude app, on claude.ai or in Claude Code. Themeasy's server builds and checks; it never calls a model. | Elementor's AI features in the editor and in Angie. The Elementor MCP also lets outside tools such as Claude, Codex and Cursor build on your site. |
| What it builds | A complete site: every page you ask for, the header and footer as global sections, the menu, the forms, the colors and fonts, and the motion. A WooCommerce store too, when you ask for one. | Elementor AI writes CSS, code, layouts, images and text in the editor. Angie builds full pages, design systems, custom widgets, snippets and visual apps. |
| How you pay for it | Included in Pro and Agency, with no credits to buy. Your Claude plan covers the thinking. | Elementor AI spends One credits, 1 to 40 per AI action, from a monthly pool it shares with image optimization and email. Angie's free plan has limited daily credits. |
| Where it works | On a Themeasy theme with free Elementor. Pro and Agency include all 24 Themeasy themes. | Elementor AI in the Elementor editor. Angie on any WordPress site, with Elementor or without it. |
| Themes and motion | The 24 Themeasy themes, and Themeasy Motion on GSAP, which the AI sets the same way you would by hand. | Hello, Elementor's lightweight base theme. Motion effects and page transitions come with Elementor Pro. |
| Widgets | The 128 Themeasy widgets, including the ones that are hard to get right by prompt: carousels, pricing toggles, accordions and forms. | Elementor's widgets. Forms, loops, popups and the ecommerce widgets need an Elementor Pro plan, for Angie and the MCP alike. |
| Templates | Name any of 600+ Themeasy Library templates, and Claude builds the whole site in its style. | Angie's Community Library holds builds other creators share, and its Cloud Library keeps your own for reuse across sites. |
| Checks before it lands | Every build is checked against the design rules and the Themeasy catalog, and verified at three screen widths, before it reaches your site. | Angie Code previews widgets and snippets in an isolated test environment before anything goes live. |
| Going live | AI Studio lists every page it will create or update and writes nothing until you confirm. Once you confirm, it publishes at once, so start on a staging site or back up first. | Every Elementor MCP generation lands as a draft, and nothing goes live until you publish it. |
| Price | Pro $119/yr, Agency $199/yr (launch prices), unlimited sites on both. | See Elementor's pricing. The One plans carry the credits, from one site up. |

What else the plan pays for
Themeasy AI is one part of Pro and Agency. The rest is what it builds with, and all of it works by hand too, so you are never stuck waiting on a prompt.
-
Every Themeasy theme
24 premium designs with their demos. Each one is a base a build can install on, or a finished site you adapt yourself.
-
128 Elementor widgets
The same pieces Claude builds with are the ones you drag in by hand, from sliders and pricing tables to the WooCommerce widgets.
-
Themeasy Motion on GSAP
Entrance, hover, text and scroll animations. The AI sets them, and you change them in the editor without writing code.
-
The theme builder
Headers, footers, archives and the 404 page as global sections, with display rules, on every Themeasy theme.
-
The template library
600+ templates to start a build from, or to insert one section at a time from inside the Elementor editor.
-
Unlimited sites
One plan for every site you run, your own or your clients'. There is no per-site credit pool to watch.
Where Elementor's AI is the better pick
For small edits while you work. Elementor AI sits inside the editor. It rewrites a heading, makes an image or writes a bit of CSS on the page you have open. Themeasy AI works from your Claude chat and installs whole builds, so for a one-line change the editor is quicker.
On a theme that isn't Themeasy's. Angie works on any WordPress site, and the Elementor MCP builds on any Elementor site. Themeasy AI needs an active Themeasy theme.
When every change should wait as a draft. The Elementor MCP never publishes on its own. Themeasy AI shows every page it will touch and waits for you, but once you confirm, it goes live.
Without an outside AI plan. If you don't use Claude and don't want to, Elementor's credits keep everything in one bill.
What building with AI costs
Themeasy AI comes with Pro and Agency at no extra charge; your Claude plan is the only other cost. Elementor's AI runs on the credits of its One plans, and Elementor shows its prices per region, so we link them.

Questions, answered
What is Elementor AI?
Elementor's AI inside the Elementor editor. It generates CSS, code, layouts, images and text from a prompt, on the page you are editing. On the Elementor One plans it spends credits from a monthly pool.
How do Elementor One credits work?
Each One plan comes with a monthly pool of credits, shared across the AI, image optimization, accessibility fixes, cookie consent and email. Elementor counts 1 to 40 credits per AI action, depending on the task and the prompt. Unused credits don't roll over. When they run out, you wait for next month's pool or move to a higher plan.
Does Themeasy AI use credits?
No. There are no credits to buy. Themeasy AI comes with Pro and Agency, and your Claude plan does the thinking, because our server never calls a model. To keep the service running for everyone, it does apply fair-use limits, such as a daily number of page checks.
Isn't the Elementor MCP the same thing?
Both let your own AI build in Elementor, and connecting Elementor's is free. The difference is the scope. Themeasy AI builds and installs a complete site on a Themeasy theme, with its header, footer, menu, forms and site settings, and checks it before it reaches WordPress. Elementor's MCP builds pages and theme parts on any Elementor site as drafts, with Elementor's new atomic elements; its Pro elements need an Elementor Pro plan.
Read Elementor's MCP pageWhat else do I pay for with Themeasy AI?
Your Claude plan. Claude's Free plan lets you add the Themeasy connector, and the paid plans include Claude Code. How much of a plan one site takes depends on the site, the model and the effort you choose.
See how Themeasy AI worksDo I need a Themeasy theme?
Yes, an active Themeasy theme on the site you install on. Pro and Agency include all 24, so you already have one when you subscribe.
Can I edit what Themeasy AI builds?
Yes. It installs ordinary Elementor pages, and you change them like any other. When you ask Claude for more changes later, AI Studio asks before it replaces any page you edited by hand.

10Web or Themeasy AI, where should your AI-built WordPress site live?
10Web builds and hosts the site in one bill, but an AI-built site stays on its hosting. Themeasy AI builds an Elementor site with your own Claude, on the WordPress host you choose.
Last checked -
Lovable or Themeasy AI, which should build your WordPress site?
Lovable builds full-stack web apps in code. If you need a WordPress site that you or a client edit visually, Themeasy AI builds one in Elementor with your own Claude.
Last checked -
Do you need Elementor Pro?
Not if you build on a Themeasy theme: the theme builder, the widgets, WooCommerce and the motion run on free Elementor. Pro still wins on other themes, native forms and trigger popups.
