Billing & plans
A plan settles two different questions. How much you can keep — live apps, pages, visitors, records, storage, team — and how much building you do, which is metered in Φ.
There is no free tier and no trial: an account starts on a plan.
Φ — what it meters
Φ is the unit for AI work. Producing an app, reworking a page, a composer turn — each one spends Φ. Serving an app that is already published does not.
Each plan renews a daily and a weekly AI usage. The day figure renews on a rolling 24-hour window and the week figure on a rolling 7-day window: Φ you spend leaves the window and your usage comes back. The current figures are on the pricing page.
Two things follow, and both are easy to be surprised by:
- Unused usage does not carry over. You cannot save a quiet day to fund a busy one.
- Usage is not a promise of a number of apps. What a job costs depends on the model and the size of the app. A typical new app costs about 540 Φ today.
Enterprise AI usage is set by your contract.
When usage runs out
| What runs out | What happens |
|---|---|
| Daily or weekly usage | New AI work pauses until the window renews, or until you continue with credits. |
| Your credits, if you have turned on “continue with credits” | New AI work pauses. |
Published apps keep running. An app at its own address stays up, keeps its data and keeps accepting visitors while usage is empty. The limit pauses the factory, never your site.
AI credits
Credits are a separate purchase, bought in packs, and they are used only when the daily or weekly usage runs out and you have turned on “continue with credits” in your account.
- Packs: 5,000 Φ, 20,000 Φ and 50,000 Φ, at the prices on the pricing page
- Credits are valid for 12 months from purchase
Your Φ history
Every movement is recorded: what you spent, what renewed and what you bought. Records are added, never rewritten, so the balance you see can always be explained by the history behind it.
What a plan shapes
Plans differ along these dimensions. The values are set per plan — see the pricing page rather than any number written here.
Apps
- Live apps — how many can be published at once
Draft apps and pages per app are not limited. They were plan ceilings once and are not any more: keep as many drafts as you like, and build a page as long as it needs to be.
AI
- Daily and weekly AI usage — see the pricing page
- AI credits, bought in packs and used only when you turn on “continue with credits”
Reach
- Records an app can store
- Storage
- Visitor sign-in methods — see Visitor sign-in
- Your own domain — Team and above; every plan gets its address on us
Ownership — on every plan, without exception:
- Download the pwpack — the app’s full source, yours to keep
- Export the pwapp — a ready-to-run bundle for any static host
Version-history retention, API access, the audit log (Team and above) and signing app visitors in through your own identity provider (Team and above) vary by plan.
Choosing or changing a plan
You choose a plan at checkout when you sign up; payment is taken by card through a licensed payment institution, and the plan is active as soon as the payment is confirmed. The pricing page shows what each plan shapes.
To change plan later, open Billing → Upgrade in your account:
- Moving up takes effect immediately. The unused part of the period you already paid for is credited against the new price.
- Moving down takes effect at the end of the current period; you keep the higher plan until then.
Enterprise is arranged with us — write from the contact page.
Inside your account, Billing shows the plan you are on and your invoices, and Wallet shows your daily and weekly AI usage, your credit balance and where to buy more.
If a subscription ends
Cancelling from Billing stops the renewal; you keep access until the end of the period you have paid for. Your world and its apps are not purged the moment it lapses — export what you want to keep (the pwpack is yours on every plan) and talk to us if you need the window explained for your case.
