Pricing

A flat fee to us. Whatever you like to them.

BuildWithHQ makes money when you do. You pay a flat monthly subscription for your builder account, and the platform takes a share of the revenue you collect from your own customers. Nothing is charged while your application is still being built.

Plan tiers are being finalized ahead of public launch. The structure below is fixed; the specific limits and rates are being confirmed. You can start building now, and pricing applies when your application goes live.

What is not charged extra

Things other platforms meter

Several capabilities that vendors commonly bill as premium tiers are simply part of the platform here, because the product does not work honestly without them.

The audit trail

Read-level logging, hash-chained rows, and replayable authorization are not an enterprise upsell. An audit trail behind a paywall is not an audit trail.

Data export

Getting your data out is not a paid feature. Neither is your customers getting theirs out.

Dedicated databases

Isolation is the architecture, not a tier. Every application gets its own databases regardless of plan.

The documentation

All of it is public: every module, every error code, the full architecture reference, and the console preview.

Why this pricing philosophy matters: some AI app platforms expose separate post-limit meters for functions, database bandwidth, vector usage, egress and compute. See the BuildWithHQ vs. Hercules comparison →
Common questions

Questions about this

What does the platform actually charge for?

A flat monthly subscription for your builder account, plus a share of the revenue you collect from your own customers. Nothing is charged while an application is still in development.

Do I set my own prices?

Yes. Your pricing, packaging, and margins are yours. The platform does not dictate what you charge your customers or cap what you can earn.

When exactly does billing start?

When your application goes live with paying customers. The build phase is not billed.

What happens if a payment fails?

Service continues through a grace period while retries run. The billing documentation describes the dunning sequence in full.

Can I cancel?

Yes, and you can export your data on the way out — records, files, AI data and vectors, and log history with a manifest and checksums.
