| Which plan to pick | 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. | Basic is enough for most small business sites, and the free custom domain on a yearly plan makes it good value. Move to Pro when you pass 30 pages or want more than two CMS collections. Budget for extra editor seats at $20 a month if more than one person will design. | Premium does the job for most small businesses. Only pay for 48 months if you are sure you will still want the site then; a shorter term costs more per month but avoids a big upfront bill. There is a 30-day money-back guarantee as long as you have used fewer than 30 credits. |
