Six things to checkbefore you commit.

Feature lists all look alike. These are the questions that decide whether a builder still suits you a month in.

  1. 01

    What does a credit actually buy?

    Plans count usage in credits, tokens or messages. Build the same small project on each tool and see how far the free plan gets you. Vibe's free plan includes 50 credits; Pro includes 200 a month.

  2. 02

    Can you choose the model?

    Different models are better at different jobs. Vibe lets you choose from Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok model families per project (available models depend on your plan).

  3. 03

    Can you see and keep the code?

    Vibe builds a real project tree (routes, components, API handlers) and lets you download it all as a ZIP anytime.

  4. 04

    Can you plan before it builds?

    Vibe's Plan mode lays out the approach first so you can steer it, then Build applies the changes.

  5. 05

    How do you share work in progress?

    Every Vibe project gets a stable HTTPS preview URL that updates as you build. Send it to anyone.

  6. 06

    Does it work with your tools?

    Vibe connects to GitHub, Slack, Notion, Linear, Figma, Stripe, Jira and more, so the studio can read issues or post updates while it builds.

Choosing a builder?Answered.

  • What makes Vibe different from other AI app builders?

    Three things: you choose the AI model per project, you can plan before building, and you get a real multi-file project you can download as a ZIP anytime.

  • Can I bring a project from another builder?

    There's no one-click import. Describe the app or reuse your original prompt, and attach key files or screenshots as context. Vibe rebuilds it as a multi-file project.

  • Is there a free plan?

    Yes. Hobby is free, with 50 one-time credits, one project and Claude Haiku models. Pro is $21 a month billed yearly for 200 monthly credits and unlimited projects.

  • Can Vibe build mobile apps?

    Yes. Choose Mobile app in the studio for phone-first product UIs, or Web app for full pages and marketing sites.

  • Who owns what I build?

    You own your generated code and can download it anytime. Projects on an eligible paid plan may be used commercially, subject to our Terms.
