Which plan to pickStart 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 20 free credits on a small test app first. If the result holds up, Pro is enough for most builders. Only look at Rocket or Booster if you'll use the research and competitor tracking too. SSO and premium support are a sales conversation.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.
