PLANS · PRICING
Pay to build. Then pay to keep it live.
Score five ideas free every day, no credit card. Build tiers are credit-based for the months you are actively building. When your app is live, Maintain keeps it hosted on the App Store and Google Play, from $49 a month plus usage.
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 and requirements on the lower tiers, with code generation and store submission on Scale. Maintain starts at $49 a month plus usage and keeps a shipped app hosted 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. You can also export the source and host the app yourself instead.
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 from $49 the moment your app goes live.
Once it is live
Drop the build tier when the work is done and keep Maintain, from $49 a month plus usage. It hosts the app 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. An app you leave hosted with us also carries Maintain, from $49 a month plus usage.

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 each build is priced from your real spec and approved before any credits are spent. Credit pricing includes our margin on the compute a build uses. Once your app is live, hosting is charged monthly per app on top of the figures above: a base charge plus what the app actually uses, so it moves with your traffic and storage. You can also export the source and run it yourself. Add credits any time, starting at $10.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Q · PLANS
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. The Free plan requires no credit card. You can browse scored ideas and explore the platform without any commitment.
Q · PLANS
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel anytime from your account settings. No questions asked, no cancellation fees. Your current billing period remains active until it ends.
Q · PLANS
How does Goodspeed Balance work?
Your balance funds every action on Goodspeed: from idea scoring and deep research to requirements generation, app building, and deployment. Each build tier includes a monthly allowance, and you can add more funds anytime starting at $10. Your monthly plan credits stay good for two months from the day they land, so an unused month rolls over into the next one, and spending always draws from whichever credits expire soonest. Funds you add yourself never expire.
Q · PLANS
What is the difference between a build tier and Maintain?
Build tiers are credit-based and cover the months you are actively building. Explore covers idea scoring and market research, Build adds full requirements and specs, and code generation and store submission arrive with Scale. Maintain starts at $49 a month plus usage and keeps a shipped app hosted on the App Store and Google Play. It includes 1 GB of database storage, 1,000 monthly active users and 1,000,000 analytics events; past those you pay for what the app uses. While you build a live app you pay a build tier plus Maintain, and when the work is done you drop the build tier and keep Maintain. Managed hosting is rolling out, so if it is not yet available for your app you can export the source and host it yourself.
Q · PLANS
Do I have to keep paying once my app is live?
If you want us to run it, yes. Maintain starts at $49 a month plus usage and covers hosting and keeping the app on the App Store and Google Play, so a finished app you leave with us costs that rather than a build tier. If you would rather host it yourself, you can export the full source to your own GitHub and run it anywhere at no ongoing cost to us.
Q · PLANS
Do I have to set up any infrastructure?
No. Goodspeed provisions the backend during the build and operates it after launch: database, auth, and analytics. You open no infrastructure accounts and configure no servers. Maintain, from $49 a month plus usage per live app, is what keeps it hosted. Prefer to run it yourself? Export the full source to your own GitHub and host it anywhere.
Q · PLANS
Who owns the code?
You own the code we generate for your app outright, under an MIT licence, in your own GitHub repository. The reusable Goodspeed framework it is built on ships alongside it as source-available under PolyForm Perimeter, which lets you run, change and host your app anywhere, and asks only that you do not use the framework itself to build a competing product. No proprietary runtime, and nothing you have to keep paying us for to keep your app running.
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 hosted with us carries a Maintain subscription, from $49 a month plus usage.
Q · PLANS
Can I switch plans later?
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade anytime, and either change takes effect right away. An upgrade unlocks the new features immediately. A downgrade moves you to the lower plan on the spot, and the unused part of what you already paid is credited against your next invoice.
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, Twitter, and email for you to post. You ship the posts. After launch the optimization loop keeps watching your rankings and writes you a specific listing fix when they slip, which you approve or dismiss in one click, so nothing changes on your store page without you. Connect a Google Play developer account and your Play listing text is updated in the same pass.
