Pricing & Credits

Warpweb has a two-component pricing model:

1. Credit packs — pay per operation. Builds, revisions, and domain operations deduct from your balance.
2. Per-site hosting — $10/site/month for always-on custom-domain hosting. Free-subdomain sites have no monthly cost (auto-pause after 7 days inactivity; one free call to refresh).

No platform fee. No per-seat. No long-term commitment.

Signup grant

New accounts get 520 free credits with email verification — no card required. That covers one solid build plus a few revisions, so you can build a real site end-to-end before deciding whether to top up.

Per-operation cost

Builds and revisions are billed against actual usage at the end of the operation — no flat per-call charge. The usage.cost_usd field on site.complete and site.revision_complete webhooks tells you exactly what was spent.

Credits deduct on success. Failed builds and revisions don’t charge. If a build crashes mid-flight, you don’t pay.

Credit packs

Purchase credits via Stripe Checkout at app.warpweb.ai/billing.

Larger packs available for volume customers — contact support.

Auto-refill is optional. Set a threshold in the dashboard; we’ll re-charge your card and top up automatically when the balance dips below it.

Hosting tiers

Every site lives in one of two states:

Free — Warpweb subdomain

• URL: {your-slug}.warpweb.app
• Cost: included in the build credit, no monthly fee
• Lifecycle: auto-paused after 7 days inactive, free refresh to reactivate

The 7-day refresh mechanic

Sites on *.warpweb.app stay public as long as the owner touches them at least once a week. The mechanic:

• Every site has a last_refreshed_at timestamp.
• 7 days after the last refresh, the site enters a paused state.
• A paused site still resolves — but instead of the real content, visitors see a branded paused page (with noindex so search engines drop it).
• Refresh by hitting POST /v1/sites/:id/refresh or clicking Refresh in the dashboard. No rebuild, no credit cost. The site flips back to live within seconds.

You’ll receive notifications:

• T-24h: “Your site yourbiz.warpweb.app goes paused tomorrow unless you refresh.”
• At pause: “Your site is paused. Refresh to bring it back — or upgrade to always-on with a custom domain.”

Paid — custom domain

• URL: your domain (yourbusiness.com)
• Cost: $10/site/month
• Lifecycle: always on, no refresh required
• Billing activates on successful attach via POST /v1/sites/:id/domains or POST /v1/domains/register — the dns_pending intermediate state isn’t billed; the $10/mo line item kicks in once status flips to active.

The $10/mo per-site subscription covers custom-domain hosting, SSL auto-renew, monitoring, form-submission webhook delivery, and email support. Billed monthly — one line per active paid site, prorated on add/remove.

Tired of refreshing?

Attach a custom domain. Sites on the paid tier never need a refresh.

curl -X POST https://api.warpweb.ai/v1/sites/<id>/domains \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WARPWEB_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"domain": "yourbusiness.com"}'
