| Which plan to pick | 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. | Start free to see whether the sitemap and wireframes suit how you work. If you finish sites in Figma or Webflow, take an Export plan. If you want Relume to host the site, take Pro on the Publish side and add a custom domain. | 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. |
