Rocket.new drops per-seat fees and bills credits instead, so a whole team can build on one plan and you pay for AI work, not headcount.

**TL;DR.** Rocket.new (formerly DhiWise) starts free, then paid plans from about $25/mo (about 100 credits) up through Team and Business ($100 to $300/mo); Enterprise is custom. It is credit-based with no per-seat fees, so a free VP0 design keeps each screen cheap and rollover useful.

Rocket.new (formerly DhiWise) is an AI app builder whose 2026 pricing is credit-based with no per-seat fees, so a whole team can build on one plan and you pay for AI work rather than headcount. The short version: a free tier with limited credits, paid plans from about $25/mo, Team and Business tiers higher up, and custom Enterprise, with credits that never expire and roll over on paid plans. The current numbers live on the [Rocket.new pricing page](https://www.rocket.new/pricing); credit-based AI pricing moves fast in this category, so treat that page as the source of truth.

## Rocket.new's pricing tiers

The free tier gives a limited number of monthly credits on public projects, enough to try the builder. Paid plans start around $25/mo (roughly 100 credits) with the ability to buy more as needed, private projects and custom domains. Team and Business tiers, roughly $100 to $300/mo, add higher credit limits, collaboration and priority compute. Enterprise is custom with on-prem or VPC options and SLAs. The standout structural choice is no per-seat fees: you are billed on credits, not the number of people building.

## What you actually pay for: credits, not seats

Credits are roughly tied to AI generation tokens, so building and regenerating spends them, while adding teammates does not. That is unusual and team-friendly: most rivals charge per seat. Credits never expire and roll over on paid plans, so an occasional heavy month is not wasted. The lever, as with all credit tools, is how much the AI has to generate.

## Rocket.new plans at a glance

| Plan | Rough price | Credits and notes |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Limited monthly credits, public projects |
| Paid (entry) | ~$25/mo | ~100 credits, private projects, custom domain |
| Team / Business | ~$100 to $300/mo | Higher credits, collaboration, priority compute |
| Enterprise | Custom | On-prem/VPC, SLAs |

## A worked example

Say a small team builds an internal tool. With no per-seat fees, everyone can work on the entry paid plan, and the only meter is credits. If you generate every screen from scratch and iterate, 100 credits go quickly. Start from a finished design instead: open a near-matching screen on VP0, generate against it, and each screen lands in fewer credits. Rollover means an occasional heavy month carries forward, so the team stays on a lower plan.

## Which plan fits you

Use Free to try Rocket.new on public projects. The entry paid plan (~$25) suits a solo builder or small team wanting private projects and a custom domain, since there are no per-seat fees to multiply. Team and Business tiers fit groups that need higher credit limits and priority compute. Enterprise is for on-prem or VPC needs. Because billing is credits not seats, upgrade when credits run short, not when the team grows.

## How to save Rocket.new credits

Credits track AI generation, so fewer regenerations saves money. [VP0](https://vp0.com) is the free design library for AI builders, giving Rocket.new a concrete target so it regenerates less. For a comparison with another fast-moving builder, see [Rork pricing plans 2026](/blogs/rork-pricing-plans-2026/), and the broader pattern in [the hidden token tax of no-code AI subscriptions](/blogs/hidden-no-code-ai-subscription-fees-token-tax/).

## Common mistakes

The most common mistake is comparing Rocket.new's price to per-seat tools without realizing a whole team builds on one credit plan. The second is generating screens repeatedly when a clear design would settle them. The third is treating any printed credit number as permanent, since this category changes fast.

## Key takeaways

- Rocket.new (ex-DhiWise) is credit-based with no per-seat fees, so teams build on one plan.
- Free (limited credits), entry paid ~$25/mo (~100 credits), Team/Business ~$100 to $300, Enterprise custom.
- Credits never expire and roll over on paid plans.
- Start from a finished design (free via VP0) to spend fewer credits per screen.
