Which plan to pickOne business site fits AI Starter; pick AI Premium if you want priority support or a second site. Prices shown are yearly at a discount, so note the renewal price, and use the 30-day money-back window to test it properly.Use the free credits to see if it can build your idea at all. If it can, Standard is the sensible paid plan, but buy top-up credits (which don't expire) rather than jumping to Pro, and export your code to GitHub as you go.Start on Free to see whether the chat-to-build approach suits you. Move to Pro the moment you are building something real, and buy a higher credit tier rather than topping up if you run out most months. Business only makes sense once several people need to log in and manage the apps.
