Credits and billing

What’s available in each plan?

  • Free plan: limited AI credits, hosting, and Hercules domains
  • Paid plans: AI credits (you choose your desired monthly allocation), custom branding, custom domains, priority support, much higher hosting limits, ability to collaborate with teammates, and more.

What hosting is included?

Currently, all plans have unlimited hosting. We aim to keep hosting free / bundled into your existing plans for as long as possible. We do impose fair use limits on the free tier and certain users on the paid tier abusing the hosting. We will reach out to you in advance if we ever have concerns.

How do upgrades work?

When you upgrade:
  • You pay only the difference between your current and new plan
  • You immediately receive the credit difference between your current and new plan
    • These credits are valid for 28 days from the grant date
  • Your billing cycle does not reset. It stays anchored to your original renewal date

How do downgrades work?

Downgrades are scheduled to take effect at the start of your next billing cycle. You keep your current plan until then.
