Which plan to pickStart 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.Try Free for an afternoon to see whether you like watching the code get written. Pro is the plan for almost everyone else; the page only shows the yearly rate, so check the monthly price before you commit. Higher token tiers exist if you build daily.Stay on Free if you make the odd page. Plus is the sensible paid plan; the credit allowance matches what you pay, so treat it as pay-as-you-go with a monthly minimum. Business costs over three times as much for the same credits, so only pick it for the data protections.

  • Turns a screenshot or Figma file into a real page quickly
  • Standard code that developers can take over without a rewrite
  • Design Mode tweaks are free

Cons
  • Credits run out faster than you expect, and fixing its own mistakes costs credits too
  • Hosting and AI usage inside your app draw from the same allowance as building
  • Complex logic or unusual integrations often need a developer to finish
  • The free plan is too tight to ship anything
  • Tokens are hard to predict and a looping fix can eat a day's allowance
  • Less polished designs than Lovable or v0 without extra prompting
  • Shows you more complexity than a non-technical person wants
  • Monthly-billed prices are not shown on the pricing page
  • Plus is $30 per user, and credits are spent as you go on top of that
  • Weak at logins, databases and anything beyond the front end
  • The 7-message free limit runs out fast
  • You need a Vercel account and some comfort with GitHub to get the most from it
