Your own key

Bring your Anthropic API key. Building and hosting are free up to a monthly allowance.

$0 a month, with a free building and hosting allowance

No credit card required

Have a Claude Pro or Max subscription instead? Use your Claude subscription from your own Claude Code (coming soon). crisp never asks for your Claude subscription login or token. Anthropic allows subscription sign-in only through its own apps and does not allow other products to collect or store subscription tokens, so pasting one into any website could put your Anthropic account at risk.

How we keep your key safe
  • crisp checks your key with Anthropic, then stores it encrypted. After that, only its last four characters are ever shown, even to you.
  • Your key is used only to run your own requests, at the moment each one starts. It is never written into your app's files or into logs, and it is removed from everything crisp shows you.
  • Remove it at any time and it is deleted at once. You can also turn it off yourself in the Anthropic console.
  • crisp keeps a record of when your key was saved, used and removed, never the key itself.
  • While a request runs, the AI and the commands it runs for your project can use the key, as with any tool that writes code with your key. So give crisp a key of its own with a monthly spending limit.
  • AI usage goes on your own Anthropic bill, with nothing added
  • Building and hosting free up to a monthly allowance
  • Unlimited projects, up to 10 published apps
  • Your own domains (coming soon)
  • Everything else in Pro, including GitHub sync
Building and hosting prices for Your own key
Each monthFreeThen (soon)
CPU, while awake250 hours1.8 cents an hour
Memory, while awake500 GB hours0.72 cents a GB hour
Storage25 GB4 cents a GB

An app that nobody is using sleeps and uses no CPU or memory. New accounts get a fifth of the allowance for their first 30 days. Paying for more than the allowance is coming soon: until then, once it is used up, new requests wait for the next month, and your published apps stay online.

Prices in US dollars. Taxes may apply where you live. AI usage is charged at cost; a typical new app costs about $1 to build and check.

Which plan is right for me?

You want to try crisp
Free. $3 of AI usage a month builds your first apps, and you can publish one. No credit card.
You already pay for Claude
Your own key, with an Anthropic API key. Your key pays for the AI with nothing added, and building and hosting are free up to a monthly allowance. No credit card.
You are building something real
Pro, $20 a month. $15 of AI usage and 10 published apps, with nothing to set up.
You build every day, or for clients
Max, $100 a month. $80 of AI usage and room for 50 published apps.

How credits work, in full.

No fine print further down. This is the whole system, and the meter in the app shows every number as it happens.

One credit is one dollar
No points, no tokens, no exchange rate to learn. Usage is counted in dollars at what the AI models cost us.
Its mistakes are free
When crisp breaks something and fixes it in the same request, the fixing is not charged to you.
A live meter
Every request shows what it has used so far while it runs, and its final cost when it finishes.
A limit on every request
Each request stops and asks before it goes over your limit. The default is $2, and you can change it.
Apps stay online
Credits pay for building. Your published apps keep running even when your balance is at zero.
Top up when you need to
On any plan, Free included, a $10 top-up adds $9 of usage at cost. The difference covers card fees and running costs. Top-ups never expire.

What a request usually costs.

Most changes cost a few cents. Bigger requests cost more because there is more to build and more to check. These ranges are a guide; the meter shows the real number every time.

Questions about paying.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. Sign up with GitHub or your email address and you are on Free, with $3 of AI usage every month. You only add a card if you choose a paid plan or a top-up.

What can I do on the Free plan?

Build and try your first apps from start to finish. Free includes $3 of AI usage a month, which is enough for two or three small apps, up to 3 projects at a time, and 1 published app on a crisp address. To use the free usage, sign in with GitHub or confirm your email address. This keeps the free plan fair for everyone. Your own domain, coming soon, will need a paid plan. If you run out before the month ends, a $10 top-up adds $9 of usage without a subscription.

Why does Pro include $15 of usage for $20?

Because usage is charged at exactly what the AI models cost us, with nothing added. The rest of the price pays for everything else: keeping your published apps online, storing your projects and versions, and card fees. So $15 of crisp usage goes further than $15 of credits that have a markup built in. A typical new app costs about $1 to build and check.

How does Your own key work?

Add your Anthropic API key on the Billing page. Your requests then run on your key, and Anthropic bills you for them directly; crisp adds nothing. Building and hosting your apps are free up to 250 CPU hours, 500 GB hours of memory and 25 GB of storage each month (a fifth of that in your first 30 days). Most people with a few small apps never reach it. Paying for more is coming soon; until then, new requests wait for the next month once it is used up, and published apps stay online.

Can I use my Claude Pro or Max subscription?

Soon, from your own Claude Code: you will sign in to Claude Code on your computer with your subscription and connect it to crisp. Until then, use an Anthropic API key. crisp never asks for your Claude subscription login or token. Anthropic allows subscription sign-in only through its own apps and does not allow other products to collect or store subscription tokens, so pasting one into any website could put your Anthropic account at risk.

Is my API key safe with crisp?

crisp checks your key with Anthropic, then stores it encrypted. After that, only its last four characters are ever shown, even to you. Your key is used only to run your own requests, at the moment each one starts. It is never written into your app's files or into logs, and it is removed from everything crisp shows you. Remove it at any time and it is deleted at once. You can also turn it off yourself in the Anthropic console. crisp keeps a record of when your key was saved, used and removed, never the key itself. While a request runs, the AI and the commands it runs for your project can use the key, as with any tool that writes code with your key. So give crisp a key of its own with a monthly spending limit.

What exactly is a credit?

One US dollar of AI usage, counted at the price the AI models charge us. A request that uses 12 cents of model time costs you 12 cents of your allowance.

What happens when my allowance runs out?

You can still open your projects, edit code, browse your data, publish and export. New AI requests wait until your allowance resets, or until you top up. Published apps keep running.

Do I pay when crisp gets something wrong?

Not for the repair. When crisp breaks something and fixes it in the same request, that work is not charged. A request that ends in an error, or that our platform interrupts, is free. Undoing a request within 10 minutes of it finishing refunds it. If a request still went badly, write to us and a person will look at it and refund usage that did not help you.

Does unused allowance carry over?

No. Your allowance resets on your billing date each month. Top-ups you buy do not expire.

What happens to my apps if I go over a plan limit?

Nothing stops. Limits apply only to starting a new project or publishing another app. Your projects and published apps keep running, and you can delete a project to make room or upgrade at any time.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes. You keep your plan until the end of the period you paid for, then move to Free. Your projects, versions and published apps stay.

Who owns the apps I build?

You do, on every plan. Export the code to GitHub and download your data whenever you like.

Start on Free. Upgrade when your app needs it.

No credit card required. Free includes $3 of AI usage every month.
