The free tier, explained

aiKit's free tier is what lets you draft, refine, and publish a project without paying anything. This guide is a plain explanation of how that actually works today, including the parts that are policy rather than something enforced by the product yet.

1

What's genuinely free today

Building your draft, going through the guided interview, refining sections and features, revising in the "Make it yours" chat, and publishing your project to a real live link — all of it, with no credit card required at any point. Right now, every published project stays live on the free tier; there's no paywall or takedown happening after any particular number of days.

2

The 90-day free preview window

aiKit's model for the free tier is a 90-day free live preview window for a published project before continued hosting would move to a paid yearly plan. That paid-hosting step is still being built and isn't live yet, so this is currently a stated plan rather than something actively enforced against your project today.

3

Fast Mode is what makes editing feel unrestricted

Every revision you make while building runs on what the product itself labels "Fast Mode — included free, unlimited while you build." You won't run into an edit counter, a running total, or an interruption while you're refining your draft. A separate, currently-locked "Advanced Mode" is shown alongside it (tied to future paid plans, for edits described as needing extra judgment) — but it's just visible, not something you're pushed toward or blocked by.

4

The 'Built with aiKit ∞' badge

Every free-tier published site includes a small badge at the bottom linking back to aiKit. It's part of how free hosting is funded — there isn't currently a paid, badge-free tier to switch to instead.
