You build using **credits**, and you can subscribe to a paid plan for a monthly credit refill, all of our frontier AI models, and pro features like custom domains. ## Plans at a glance | | Free | Standard | Pro | | ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- | ----------------------- | | Price | $0 | From $12 / month | $99 / month | | Credits | 20 starter credits (one-time) | Choose a tier from 100 to 2,000 / month | 1,200 / month | | AI models | GenVibe's default frontier model | **All frontier models** | **All frontier models** | | Max mode | — | — | ✅ | | Publish to a genvibe.app link | ✅ *(with a small "Made with GenVibe" badge)* | ✅ *(no badge)* | ✅ *(no badge)* | | Connect a custom domain | — | ✅ | ✅ | | Priority support | — | — | ✅ | | Buy extra credits | — | ✅ | ✅ | | Export to GitHub & download | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | {% hint style="info" %} New subscribers get **25% off their first month** on Standard 100, 250, 500 and Pro, and annual billing saves about **17%** (credits still refill monthly). Exact prices and credit tiers are always shown on the [pricing page](https://genvibe.pro/pricing). {% endhint %} ## What is a credit? A credit is a unit of building. Credits are used as the AI works on your app — a large, complex build uses more credits than a small tweak, because it's doing more work. You're never charged a flat amount per message; usage scales with the size of the change. ## Which AI models do I get? * **Free** builds with GenVibe's **default frontier model** — fast and very capable for most apps. * **Every paid plan (Standard *****and***** Pro)** unlocks **all of our frontier AI models**, so you can pick the most capable model for complex, multi-feature apps and tricky logic. You choose your model from the model menu in the prompt toolbar. Premium models show a 🔒 until you're on a paid plan. ## Standard vs Pro Both Standard and Pro include the **same models — all frontier models**. The difference is capacity and pro features: * **Standard** lets you pick a monthly credit tier and scale up or down as you build more: | Tier | Credits / month | Price / month | | ------------- | --------------- | ------------- | | Standard 100 | 100 | $12 | | Standard 250 | 250 | $25 | | Standard 500 | 500 | $45 | | Standard 1000 | 1,000 | $79 | | Standard 2000 | 2,000 | $139 | * **Pro** gives you **1,200 credits a month**, **Max mode**, and **priority support** for heavier, more complex projects. Most people start on Standard and move up as they need more. ### Max mode (Pro) **Max mode** is Pro's edge: deeper builds with more build steps and more project context in a single run, so bigger, multi-feature apps are more likely to finish in one session instead of stalling partway. It's on automatically on Pro — no toggle, no separate model to pick. ## Custom domains (paid) On any paid plan you can connect your **own domain** (e.g. `www.yourbusiness.com`) to an app you've published on GenVibe hosting, with automatic SSL. See [Deploying your app](/features/deployment.md#custom-domains). ## Extra credit packs Need a little more before your next refill? You can buy a **one-time credit pack** on any paid plan — no subscription change required: | Pack | Price | | ----------- | ----- | | 50 credits | $5 | | 100 credits | $12 | | 300 credits | $33 | | 600 credits | $60 | Pack credits are added on top of your monthly pool and **never expire while your plan is active**. Exact packs are shown at checkout. ## Running out of credits When your balance is used up, you'll be prompted to upgrade (Free) — or, on a paid plan, your monthly pool refills on your renewal date. You can also buy an extra credit pack (above) anytime to keep going now. ## Upgrading Head to the [pricing page](https://genvibe.pro/pricing), choose a plan, and check out. Your account upgrades immediately and all frontier models unlock right away. {% content-ref url="/pages/5SgjyATdmS6cm8qUhYo6" %} [How credits are used](/account-and-billing/credits.md) {% endcontent-ref %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
