Draftbit Pricing 2026 Explained: Plans and Tiers

Draftbit pricing in 2026 is a straightforward plan-tier model, not a credit meter, which makes it easier to forecast than many AI builders: you pay a flat monthly fee per tier, and the tiers gate how many active projects and which collaboration features you get. There are four published plans plus enterprise, and the thing to weigh is not the sticker price but whether the project count and team features match your work. Below is the full breakdown and what each tier unlocks. If you would rather avoid plan fees entirely, you can generate the same React Native screens from a free VP0 design (the free iOS and React Native design library AI builders read from) into your own editor at $0.

The plans at a glance

These are the 2026 tiers, on annual billing. Confirm current numbers on the official Draftbit pricing page.

Plan	Price	Who it suits
Free	$0	Trying it out; ~5 screens, a few draft projects
Starter	$39/mo	Freelancers and side projects; ~5 active projects
Pro	$99/mo	Small teams and agencies; unlimited projects, collaboration
Team	$179/mo	Larger teams; roles, SSO, enterprise-grade security
Enterprise	Custom	SLAs, compliance, dedicated onboarding

The jump that matters for most builders is Free to Starter (to get real active projects and live previews) and Starter to Pro (to get unlimited projects and collaboration). Because Draftbit exports real React Native, what you pay for is the building experience, not access to your own code afterward.

What you are actually paying for

Draftbit’s value is a visual builder plus AI that outputs real React Native and Expo code you own. The plan fee buys project capacity and team features, not metered generations, which is the key difference from token- or credit-based tools. So your cost is predictable: pick the tier whose project count fits, and it does not spike with usage the way a credit model can. That predictability is why it suits agencies, expanded in Draftbit alternatives for agencies and freelancers.

The costs to budget beyond the plan

• Project count: the cheaper tiers cap active projects, so a busy freelancer may need Starter or Pro.
• Collaboration: team features (roles, SSO) live on Pro and Team, so solo plans lack them.
• Backend services: your app’s Supabase, Firebase, or API usage is billed separately by those providers.
• App store fees: publishing carries Apple’s $99/year and Google’s one-time $25, set by the platforms.

Is Draftbit worth the price?

For a freelancer shipping a few apps, Starter at $39 is reasonable for a visual builder that exports owned code. For an agency, Pro at $99 with unlimited projects and collaboration is the workhorse tier. The flat, predictable pricing is a genuine advantage over credit meters when you run many projects. If you are comfortable in code and want to avoid plan fees, generating from a free design into Cursor or Claude Code keeps cost at a flat editor subscription plus $0 for design.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Draftbit cost in 2026?

Draftbit has a free plan, Starter at $39 a month, Pro at $99 a month, Team at $179 a month, and custom Enterprise pricing, billed annually. The tiers gate how many active projects you can have and which team features you get, rather than metering generations.

Does Draftbit use credits or a flat fee?

A flat monthly fee per tier, not a credit meter. That makes Draftbit easier to forecast than token- or credit-based builders, since your cost does not spike with usage; you pick the tier whose project count fits your work.

Which Draftbit plan should a freelancer choose?

Starter at $39 a month suits most freelancers, unlocking active projects and live previews. If you run many client projects at once or need collaboration features, Pro at $99 with unlimited projects is the better fit.

What are the hidden costs of Draftbit?

Beyond the plan, budget for backend services (Supabase, Firebase, or your API are billed by those providers) and app store fees ($99/year for Apple, $25 once for Google). The plan itself does not meter generations, so there are no surprise usage charges from Draftbit.

Is there a cheaper alternative to Draftbit’s plans?

Yes. Generating from a free VP0 design, the free iOS and React Native design library for AI builders, into Cursor or Claude Code avoids plan fees entirely, leaving a flat editor subscription plus $0 for design. You still own the React Native output.
