Plans & Usage

Castaly plans define what your account includes each month. Castaly Credits are the usage units spent on AI work, Builds, advanced capabilities, and some over-quota platform usage.

This page explains the rules: what each plan includes, how credits work, what happens when usage goes beyond included allowances, and how monthly credits differ from extra credits.

For your live balance, credit packs, checkout, invoices, or subscription management, open Plans & Credits.

Castaly has three public plans. Choose based on how far you want to take a project and how often you expect to build.

Free

For exploring the workflow. You can create Specs, explore Builds, and test Previews with included monthly credits. Publishing live projects is not included.

Pro

For publishing real projects. Pro includes more monthly credits, publishing, higher project allowances, published requests, storage, and DB compute.

Ultra

For high-frequency builds and heavier usage. Ultra includes the highest monthly credits, larger platform allowances, web research, xhigh reasoning, and priority support.

SupportBasicStandardPriority

Every plan can buy extra credits. Annual plans still renew credits monthly. On Pro and Ultra, usage beyond included storage, DB compute, or published requests uses available credits instead of creating an automatic cash charge.

Castaly Credits are not tied to a fixed number of messages or builds. The amount used depends on task complexity and the capabilities involved.

What uses credits

AI tasks, Build planning and execution, web research, xhigh reasoning, and over-quota platform usage such as storage, DB compute, and published requests.

What's free

Viewing projects, reading Specs, and basic account management don’t consume credits.

Examples of credit-consuming work include asking Castaly to plan or revise a project, accepting a Build Plan, running Build work, using advanced reasoning, and continuing work after included platform allowances are exceeded.

Castaly uses monthly credits first, then extra credits.

Monthly credits

Included with your plan. They reset every billing cycle, do not roll over, and are used before purchased credits.

Extra credits

Purchased separately as credit packs. They never expire and are only used after your monthly credits are exhausted.

Pack sizes and prices are shown in Plans & Credits.

Some plan allowances are not just AI credits. Pro and Ultra also include platform allowances such as storage, DB compute, and published web requests.

When usage goes beyond an included allowance, Castaly uses available credits for the over-quota usage where supported.

Storage

File storage and database storage have included plan allowances. Usage beyond those allowances may use credits.

DB compute

Pro and Ultra include DB compute hours. Usage beyond the included amount may use credits.

Published requests

Published web requests have monthly included allowances on Pro and Ultra. Usage beyond the included amount may use credits.

When you do not have enough credits, paid AI work, new Builds, and over-quota usage pause until credits are available again.

You can continue by:

  • buying a credit pack
  • upgrading your plan
  • waiting for your monthly credits to renew

Your projects, Specs, files, and published versions remain available. They are not deleted when credits run out.

Change or cancel from Account Settings → Plans & Credits → Manage. This opens the billing portal in a new browser tab.

Before you confirm a change, the billing portal shows the details of the plan change, renewal, or cancellation.
