PLANS · PRICING
Pay to build. Then pay to keep it live.
Score your first idea free, no credit card. Build tiers are credit-based for the months you are actively building. When your app is live, Maintain keeps it hosted and patched on the App Store and Google Play.
HOW PRICING WORKS
One price while you build. A smaller one to stay live.
Goodspeed pricing has two halves. Build tiers are credit-based and cover the months you are actively working on an app: scoring, research, requirements, code generation, and store submission. Maintain is a flat $49/month that keeps a shipped app hosted and patched on the App Store and Google Play, with no build credits. While you are building a live app you pay a build tier plus Maintain. When the app is done, you drop the build tier and keep just Maintain. A live app always needs Maintain to stay up.
BUILD TIER + MAINTAIN WHILE BUILDING · MAINTAIN ONCE LIVE
While building
Pick a build tier (Explore $29, Build $79, or Scale $199) for the credits to run the pipeline, and add Maintain $49 the moment your app goes live.
Once it is live
Drop the build tier when the work is done and keep Maintain $49/month. It hosts the app, applies patches, and keeps it on the App Store and Google Play.
Back to building
Shipping a new version or a second app? Add a build tier again for those months, then step back down to Maintain when you are done.
PLANS
Pick the tier that matches your stage
Build tiers are credit-based for the months you are actively building. Add more credits anytime starting at $10. A live app also needs Maintain at $49/month to stay hosted and patched.

Estimate what your app costs to build
Scoring an idea is about $1. The real spend is making it, which heavily depends on what you’re building. Pick the shape of your app below for a ballpark range.
You approve every build before it spends. We price each build from your real spec and show you the number first, and you can cap your spend, so a build never runs away from you.
Estimates only, and not a quote. The ranges shown are illustrative. They are not a quote, an offer, or a guarantee of final cost, and nothing here is binding. What an app actually costs depends on many factors, including its scope and number of screens, the features and integrations it uses, third-party and platform fees, usage, and how much you revise it, and the final figure may be higher or lower than shown. The tiers go a stage deeper as you grow: Explore for scoring and deep research (from $29/mo), Build for full requirements and specs, and Scale for building, deploying, and growth. Every paid plan includes a monthly credit allowance, and build credits are billed at our actual cost, with each build priced from your real spec and approved before any credits are spent. Add credits any time, starting at $10.

Q · PLANS
What is the difference between a build tier and Maintain?
Build tiers (Explore, Build, Scale) are credit-based and cover the months you are actively building: scoring, research, requirements, code generation, and store submission. Maintain is a flat $49/month that keeps a shipped app hosted and patched on the App Store and Google Play. While you build a live app you pay a build tier plus Maintain. When the work is done, you drop the build tier and keep Maintain. Any live app needs Maintain to stay up.
Q · PLANS
Do I have to keep paying once my app is live?
To keep a live app running, yes: Maintain is $49/month and covers hosting, patches, and keeping the app on the App Store and Google Play. You can drop the build tier once the building is done, so a finished app costs $49/month to stay live. If you would rather host it yourself, you can export the full source to your own GitHub and run it anywhere.
Q · PLANS
Who owns the code?
You do. 100%. Every app gets its own GitHub repository. No vendor lock-in, no proprietary runtime. Take it anywhere.
Q · PLANS
Is there a limit on how many apps I can create?
No. Every plan includes unlimited apps. What you spend is governed by your credit balance: scoring, research, builds, and growth each draw from it, and every build tier includes a monthly credit allowance. Each live app you keep published carries a $49/month Maintain subscription.
Q · PLANS
Can I switch plans later?
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade anytime. When upgrading, you get immediate access to the new features. When downgrading, your current plan stays active until the end of the billing period.
Q · PLANS
Is there an enterprise plan?
Yes. If you're a team or agency building at scale, get in touch and we'll create a custom plan that fits.
Q · PLANS
Can I customize the generated apps?
Absolutely. Every app uses standard, well-supported open-source tools. You get full source code in a GitHub repo. Modify anything, hire any developer, or keep building with Goodspeed.
Q · PLANS
What do the growth tools do today?
They generate an optimized App Store listing from a 100+ keyword universe and draft platform-native outreach copy for ProductHunt, Reddit, Hacker News, Indie Hackers, and Twitter for you to post. You ship the posts. The listing optimization loop and Google Play listing automation are rolling out.
