Which plan to pickTry it free first, but expect to run out of credits quickly. If you design in Figma most days, a Professional Full seat is the one to get. Extra credits can be bought pay-as-you-go if a big project needs them.Build on Free until the app does what you need. Basic works for one or two simple apps, but Plus is the better fit for most small businesses because it allows public apps and more workflows. Pro only makes sense once you need unlimited apps or MCP building.Use the 14-day trial to build your site with Blueprint before paying. Pick Core if you'll sell anything, since Basic charges a 2% fee on sales. Pay yearly to save around a quarter and get a free domain for the first year.
