Free tier

Build a website for free, upgrade only when you grow

The safest way to start: validate demand with no budget at risk, then scale into a paid plan when it makes sense.

What businesses get

Starting free lowers the risk of getting started: ship an MVP fast, and don't overpay before demand is confirmed.

  • Starting budget: $0until you actually need to scale
  • Time to launch: hours/daysinstead of waiting weeks on a contractor
  • Upgrade point: from $15/moa clear, predictable step up to commercial use

Workflow: Free launch -> validate demand -> upgrade -> scale. Pricing: Free to start, with a clear upgrade path. Minimizes spend before value is confirmed.

What a free start delivers in practice

Budget control

No spend until the hypothesis is confirmed.

  • $0 at the start
  • Flexible time to upgrade
  • Focus on unit economics

Scale without a break

No need to migrate to another platform as you grow.

  • Same project
  • Same code
  • Same workflow

Free as a controlled way to get started

Typical scenario
Starting from zero

Test the idea with no upfront development cost

Timeline: 1-3 days
Classic approach: from $300
Fluw: $0 to start
Calculation assumptions
  • Speed and low upfront cost matter most at launch
  • The project moves to a paid stage after the offer is validated

Technical approach

A free start only pays off if the initial project is technically ready to grow. Architecture matters more here than the entry price.

The technical block shows how the project lives after the first release: architecture, code quality, constraints and handoff.

Who it's for / not for

Good fit

  • Founders launching their first website
  • SMB teams testing a new offer

Not a good fit

  • Projects that need complex enterprise processes from day one
  • Teams that want full outsourcing with no involvement on their side

Frequently asked questions

Are there limits on the free tier?+

Yes, the free tier is built for getting started and validating an idea. Paid plans cover larger-scale needs.

When should I move to a paid plan?+

Once you have a steady stream of work, a team, and a need to ship releases faster.

Can I stay on the free plan only?+

For basic use cases, often yes, but commercial volume usually calls for a paid plan.

Why is this a good deal for a business?+

You lower the barrier to entry and only pay once you've confirmed measurable value.
