01 — Included

Everything, at no cost

There are no tiers to compare. Pick an area to see what you get.

Turn a written brief into a full-stack project, generated file by file.

  • The full builder workspace, with no feature held back
  • Six registered stacks, from Next.js + Express to HTMX + Flask
  • Frontend, backend API, data models and authentication together
  • Automated checks and a bounded repair pass before you see the result
02 — The one limit

Whose AI account runs your request

This is the only thing that varies between accounts, and you can switch whenever you like.

IDEA's AI

We pay for the AI requests.

  • Nothing to set up: sign in and start building
  • A usage quota applies each hour, so the shared capacity stays available to everyone
  • When you reach it, generation pauses until the hour rolls over
03 — If this ever changes

30 days of notice, in writing, on this page

We may introduce paid plans one day. If we do, this is how it will happen.

  1. Day 0

    Announced here first

    Any paid plan is announced on this page at least 30 days before it takes effect, with the date, the price and exactly what changes.

  2. Days 1 to 30

    Nothing changes during the notice

    For the whole notice period everything stays free and works as it does today. You have time to decide, and to download any project as a ZIP.

  3. Day 30 onward

    You choose, we never auto-charge

    We hold no card or payment details today, so nothing can be charged automatically. A paid plan would only ever start because you chose it.

04 — Questions

Pricing, plainly

Is there a catch, a trial clock or a card required?

No. There is no trial period, no card form and no checkout anywhere in the product. You create an account and use the full builder.

Why is there an hourly quota if it is free?

Generation that runs on IDEA's AI account costs us money per request, so an hourly quota keeps it available for everyone. Connect your own AI provider key in Settings and that quota no longer applies to you.

Will IDEA always be free?

We are not promising that. What we do promise is notice: if paid plans are introduced, they will be announced on this page at least 30 days before they take effect, and nothing will be charged without you choosing a plan.

What happens to my projects if pricing changes?

You own the code generated for your projects, and you can download any project as a ZIP at any time, including during a notice period. An announcement would state exactly what stays free.

Nothing to pay. Something to build.
