What spends credits
| Action | Credits |
|---|---|
| A chat or Growth agent turn | By the work done |
| A native build that succeeds | 300 iOS, 250 App Bundle, 200 APK |
| A launcher icon | 100 per image saved |
| A video ad | 120, plus 30 per extra format delivered |
| A landing page deploy | 25 |
| Failed builds, template forks, library icons, naming | None |
Running work sets its credits aside and settles at the real cost.
Kinds of credits
| Kind | Comes from | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome | 100 credits for confirming your email, once per address (name+tag and Gmail dots count as one): a first look at a simple app; a full first version usually needs Creator | 30 days |
| Unlocked | 500 credits, once, on Free, during your first build: when the welcome credits run out (the build goes on with them) or when that step ends | 30 days |
| Invitation | 1,000 credits for former FluxBuilder customers, claimed from the emailed invitation | 30 days |
| Plan | A paid plan, each period | Until the period ends |
| Top-up | Credit packs, on every plan (from 2,000 for $6) | One year, spent after plan credits |
What Free includes
Free: describe your app and start building it on your credits, a first look at a new app; a full first version usually needs Creator.
- Included: a new app from your description on the welcome and unlocked credits, any free template as your own app (up to 2), the browser preview and a 30-day share link, Edit, Design and Code at no cost and the Release check.
- Not included: native builds, store uploads, and downloading or pushing the source, which needs a purchase first: a paid plan (now or before), credits bought on a paid plan or a paid template (free credits and packs bought on Free do not count).
- Credit packs: Free can buy them on Credits & billing › Credits › Add credits, from 2,000 credits for $6, to keep building. They do not unlock native builds, store uploads, AI logos or taking the source out.
- Premium templates: apps of one, such as FluxNative Commerce, build and go to the stores on Free once their website is connected.
A new app's first build, the foundation and main journey, usually takes 500 to 1,500 credits on Standard, more than Free starts with. Build it says so and offers Upgrade beside it; when the welcome credits run out, 500 more unlock and the build goes on with them; when those run out, the agent pauses with what it built working. After that, Add credits sells a credit pack that continues it on Free, and Upgrade to Creator adds monthly credits and native builds; either keeps your app and your idea.
Plans and tiers
Free, Creator, Pro and Business differ in credits, projects, members, work at once and remote MCP; builds, store uploads, video ads and AI logos need a paid plan. Prices are on the pricing page and in Credits & billing › Plan & billing.
The chat's tier picker: Standard for everyday changes, Advanced for features and tricky fixes, Max for complex builds; higher tiers cost a multiple of Standard, shown there. Free runs on Standard.
When credits run out
A turn stops as Paused for credits and keeps its edits; continue it from Status after renewal, Add credits or an upgrade.
Good to know
- Only the owner manages billing and the plan; usage and Activity show to whoever manages billing.
- A team shares one balance. To cap what one member spends a month, set Member limits on Credits (see Organizations and roles); by default nobody is limited.
- Cancel moves to Free at the period's end, with no refund for it; you can reactivate until then. What keeps working is below.
- Growth includes one trial turn per app on Creator. The corner assistant costs a few credits a message. On Free it answers up to 5 messages a person a day without credits, so they go to your app, and on a paid plan it does so once credits run out; those answers read and explain only.
If you cancel or downgrade
Nothing is deleted. When the paid period ends, on Free:
| Keeps working | Stops |
|---|---|
| Apps, code, chats and versions, editable; over 2 apps or 1 member only adding more is blocked | Native builds, store uploads and video ads, unless top-up credits remain (12 months from purchase) |
| Download source (.zip), since the workspace has paid | The Security check, Fix it and Mark intentional; the Release check keeps running |
| Web preview share links, until they expire | Sending push notifications |
| Apps in the App Store and Google Play, in your own accounts | Remote MCP and the desktop app's coding agent |
| Landing pages on your own host, with your apps' privacy, terms, support and deletion pages | The Growth agent, Advanced and Max tiers, and importing an Expo app |
| Plan credits |
Subscribing again brings it all back. To leave entirely, export each app and use Profile › Your data › Download my data.
