The free tier provides 5 credits per day up to 25 per month, up to 3 concurrent projects, GitHub sync, and downloadable source code, with sandboxes that sleep after 2 minutes idle. Buildra supports web, phone, backend and script apps, and offers a D1 database when a project needs one.", "body_md": "### Free\n\nno card\nEnough to build something real and see whether this is for you.\n\n- 5 credits a day, up to 25 a month\n- 3 projects at once\n- Sleeps after 2 minutes idle\n- Publish to buildra.page\n- Source yours to download\n- GitHub sync\n\n[Start building free](https://buildra.dev/auth)\n\nDescribe it. Build it. Ship it.\n\nBuildra is an AI app builder: you describe an app in your own words, an agent builds it in a sandbox you can watch, keeps talking to you until it is right, and publishes it to its own address — web apps, phone apps, backends and scripts, with the source yours to download.\n\nSay what you want in your own words. An agent builds it in a sandbox you can watch, keeps talking to you until it is right, and publishes it to its own address.\n\nFree gives you 5 credits a day, up to 25 a month, and up to 3 projects. No card.\n\nWhy Buildra\n\nNo template to pick and no stack to choose. The agent works out the stack from what you describe, and you can name one if you have a preference.\n\nEvery project gets a sandbox that runs the app, not just the code. It starts in seconds, sleeps when you leave and wakes when you come back, so the preview is always the real thing.\n\nEvery published project gets its own buildra.page address, and the code stays yours: sync it to GitHub or download it at any point. Nothing is locked in.\n\nYou don't need to pick a framework.\n\nYou don't need to leave the conversation to see it working.\n\nThe workspace\n\nBuildra asks what it needs to know, then proposes a plan and changes nothing until you approve it. Then it builds while you watch, and asks again when it needs a decision. You answer in the same thread.\n\nThe preview is the app itself, running in its own sandbox, not a picture of it.\n\nA site for a small coffee roastery that roasts on Tuesdays and delivers on Thursdays\n\n**Plan approved** 4 of 4\n\nBuilding the order form now.

You can step in at any of them; nothing ships until you say so.\n\n01 · Plan\n\nSay what you want in your own words. Buildra asks what it needs to know, proposes a plan, and changes nothing until you approve it.\n\n02 · Design\n\nIt shows you design directions to choose from. Pick one, or skip and let Buildra decide. The look is set before a line of code is.\n\n03 · Build\n\nThe runtime starts in seconds and the agent builds in a sandbox you can watch. It asks when it needs a decision, and you answer in the same thread.\n\n04 · Preview\n\nThe preview runs the real app, not a picture of one, and updates as the agent works. Phone apps open on your own phone.\n\n05 · Publish\n\nOne click publishes it. A failed publish leaves the live site untouched, and you can roll back to an earlier version.\n\nPrompt“a shift rota that spots gaps and clashes”shift-rota.buildra.pageLive in about a minute\n\nWhat it builds\n\nNine apps across the four kinds the platform runs — web, phone, backend and script — in the language the person asked in.

Import from GitHub or sync back to it, open phone apps on your own phone, and get a real database when the app needs one.\n\nPaste a URL to import a repository, or sync every change back to one.\n\nPhone apps open on a real phone while they are being built.\n\nA D1 database when the app needs one, set up with the project.\n\niOS builds, and uploads to App Store Connect and Google Play, on a paid plan.\n\nWhere published projects live, one address each.\n\nPricing\n\nEvery number here is one the platform enforces, not a marketing rounding.\n\nOut of credits before the month is up?
