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.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.Start on Basic; Sidekick and the core store are the same on every plan. Move to Grow when you add staff or your monthly sales are high enough that its lower card rates cover the price difference.
