Grow is only worth it if you have lots of customers or use the AI marketing tools heavily. | There's only the free plan. Sign in with a Google account and start designing. If you hit the monthly cap, wait for it to reset next month. | 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. |
