Pricing
Managed AI stays the default for non-technical users. BYOI, Bring Your Own Intelligence, is available on paid plans for power users who want to connect OpenAI, Gemini, or another provider key.
Casual users building a small number of projects without hosted production included.
Power builders who need more projects, previews, GitHub export, and deployment prep.
One live hosted app with platform subdomain, SSL, basic backups, and limited resources.
Multiple hosted apps, custom domains, database hosting, backups, and priority support.
Teams managing many client projects, handoffs, hosted apps, and white-label options.
Usage should stop, ask for upgrade, buy credits, or switch to BYOI before silent overage.
Users pay their own AI provider directly while Mase still applies non-AI plan limits. BYOI-only subscriptions cannot spend platform Managed AI credits.
2.9% + $0.30 estimated standard domestic card pricing is part of paid subscription math.
When Managed AI credits run out, customers can wait for the next cycle, upgrade, switch to BYOI, or buy more credits.
