Billing, plainly.
Is there a setup fee?
No. There are no setup or migration fees. The plan price covers hosting; a domain you buy through us is billed separately each year.
Is there an annual discount?
Yes. Pay yearly and get 2 months free: Plus is $60/yr, Pro $190/yr, Studio $990/yr. Annual plans also include a free .com (or .net, .org, .dev, .app, .xyz), renewed free each year while the plan stays annual. Connecting a domain you already own works on every plan, including Free.
Can I change plans later?
Yes, any time. Changes take effect immediately, and the difference is prorated.
What happens if I hit my app limit?
We tell you when you reach your app limit and help you pick the right plan. We never auto-bill overages.
Do I need a contract?
No. Pay monthly or yearly — cancel whenever you like.
What happens to my apps if I cancel?
Nothing dramatic. What you've paid for stays active until the end of the billing period, then you're on the Free plan. Your apps aren't deleted and your code stays downloadable. Download any database backups you need before the period ends; Free keeps only the latest restore point.
What about refunds?
Cancelling stops the next bill — what you've already paid for runs to the end of the period. If something's gone wrong with a charge, email us and a person will sort it out.
What if my app gets popular?
It keeps running, and your bill doesn't change — we don't bill for traffic, ever. If your app could use more muscle, we'll suggest a bigger plan. Upgrading is a click, not a rebuild.
Every plan, every line.

AI edits are chat turns in the in-app editor: describe a change, it edits the code and goes live. Credits are a daily pool that resets at midnight UTC. On Free, every edit draws from the pool and new edits wait for the reset once it's used. On paid plans Fast edits are unlimited: Balanced and Smart edits draw from the pool, and once it's used the editor keeps going at Fast. Hourly rate limits apply to prevent automated abuse.
Your first app is free.
Build it with AI or bring your code. Pick a paid plan only when you want more apps, always-on hosting or more AI.
