Plans & Pricing Guide

Webase offers three subscription tiers to fit your needs, from casual experimentation to serious app building. This guide explains what each plan includes, how billing works, and how to manage your subscription.

What Counts as a Billable Message

Your monthly message allowance is used whenever the AI does work on your behalf. Here's exactly what counts:

• Chat messages — Each message you send in the Chat panel that triggers an AI response uses one message.
• App generation — When you describe a new app and the AI generates it, that counts as one message.
• Feature suggestions — Asking the AI to suggest features for your app uses one message.
• Deployment — Each time you deploy your app to Netlify, it uses one message.

What's Free (Doesn't Count)

Several actions in Webase are completely free and do not count against your message limit:

• Evaluations — Running quality evaluations on your app is free. The AI reviews your app and scores it without using any messages.
• Auto-improve iterations — When you use "Evaluate & Improve," the AI automatically fixes issues and re-evaluates. These improvement cycles are free.
• Saving your app — Clicking Save to persist your app's current state is always free.
• Viewing previews — Opening your app's preview URL or browsing your app list costs nothing.
• Editing code directly — Making changes in the Code tab doesn't use any messages since the AI isn't involved.
• Managing data models — Creating, editing, and deleting data models and fields is free.

Message Top-Ups

If you run out of messages before your billing cycle resets, you can purchase a message top-up for instant additional capacity:

• $5 for 25 messages

Top-up messages are used after your plan's monthly allowance is exhausted. They don't expire at the end of the month — unused top-up messages carry over until they're consumed.

You can purchase multiple top-ups if needed. They're a great option when you're in a productive building session and don't want to wait for your monthly allowance to reset.

Checking Your Usage

You can monitor your message usage in several places:

Upgrading Your Plan

To upgrade from Free to Starter or Pro (or from Starter to Pro):

1. Go to your Account Settings page.
2. Click Upgrade next to the plan you want.
3. Enter your payment details (if not already on file).
4. Choose monthly or annual billing.
5. Confirm your subscription.

Your upgrade takes effect immediately. You'll get the new plan's app and message limits right away, and your billing cycle starts from the date of upgrade.

Downgrading Your Plan

You can downgrade your plan at any time from your Account Settings. Here's what happens:

• The downgrade takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You'll continue to have access to your current plan's limits until then.
• If you have more apps than the lower plan allows, your existing apps are not deleted. However, you won't be able to create new apps until you're within the new plan's limit.
• Unused messages don't carry over. When your new billing period starts, you'll get the lower plan's message allowance.

Canceling Your Subscription

If you cancel your paid subscription, you'll retain access to your current plan until the end of the billing period. After that, your account reverts to the Free plan. All of your apps and data are preserved — you just won't be able to exceed the Free plan's limits.
