Purchase additional AI credits

Organization admins on Team and Business plans can now purchase additional AI credit packs directly by clicking on Buy credits from Settings > Plans & Billing > under the new AI Credits tab.

AI Credits tab with Buy credits button

Credit packs are sold in increments of 1,000 credits at $100 per pack. Purchased credits are added to your organization's shared pool and are consumed after your monthly allotment runs out, with the oldest (soonest-expiring) pack used first. Credit packs expire at the end of your next monthly billing cycle (between 30–60 days after purchase), depending on where you are in your billing cycle when you buy them.

  • If you are billed monthly, your next billing cycle end date is your expiration date.
  • If you are billed annually, your monthly billing date is the same day of the month you originally purchased your plan (e.g., if you purchased an annual plan on April 12, credits expire on the 12th of the following month).

Buy more credits modal

When your organization's credits run out, admins will see a banner prompting them to purchase additional credits or upgrade their plan. Users who are not admins will be directed to contact their admin.

Credit pack purchasing is available on cloud plans using Retool-managed keys. Free plan organizations must upgrade to Team or Business to purchase credit packs. Enterprise customers should contact their account executive.

For more information, refer to the AI credits documentation.

Import apps using MCP

You can now use Retool's MCP server to import React apps directly from your agentic coding environment.

Open a React app, and ask Retool to import the app. Retool guides you through the process of selecting the appropriate resources, and sends you a link to the newly imported app in the app builder. From there, you can make tweaks to the generated app, and securely publish the app using the MCP server or from the app builder.

Protect apps in the new app builder

Apps created with the new app builder can now be protected and checked into your chosen Source Control Manager (SCM). Source Control lets organizations manage changes using remote SCM providers GitHub, GitLab, AWS CodeCommit, Bitbucket, and Azure Repos. Using this distributed approach, your users can:

  • Prevent unwanted changes to apps.
  • Work collaboratively and methodically through reviews.
  • Edit React code from your preferred development environment.

To get started, first protect your app. Then you can create, publish, and tag new versions.

Retool's new app builder

A new AI-powered app builder is now available. Build production-ready React apps using natural language in the app builder or through your favorite coding agent via MCP. Whatever or however you build, everything inherits the security standards your organization has already approved and implemented.

The app builder includes:

Apps run on React 19 and a curated set of supporting libraries.

Apps built using Retool's drag-and-drop IDE are now called classic apps. Apps refer to apps created in the new app builder.
