Macaly Review: Pricing & Free Plan

Macaly is an AI website and app builder with hosting, database and auth built in. The free plan starts at $0; Starter is $10 and Pro starts at $30 a month.

Quick answer: Macaly is an AI website and app builder. You describe what you want, and it handles the frontend plus the pieces most prompt-to-app tools leave to you: database, user accounts, hosting, domains, integrations, SEO and analytics. You can build inside Macaly, or connect Macaly Cloud to Claude or ChatGPT and keep working in the chat you already use. We checked the Macaly pricing page on November 6, 2026: Free is $0, Starter is $10 a month, Pro is $30 and Max is $90. Team plans run Team $150, Agency $350 and Scale $750 a month.

What Macaly does

• Prompt to live site or app: describe a business site, landing page, portfolio, booking flow, dashboard, customer portal, internal tool or app with payments, and Macaly generates the project.
• Database and user accounts: tell it what to remember and it can create the database, forms and authentication without a separate backend setup.
• Hosting and domains: publish from Macaly with hosting and SSL included. Free projects get a macaly.app address; paid plans support custom domains.
• Macaly Cloud for Claude and ChatGPT: connect Macaly Cloud so your agent can build, preview and publish while Macaly provides infrastructure underneath.
• Integrations: connect payments and other business tools; the agent writes the glue code.
• SEO and analytics: SEO checks before and after publish, plus basic analytics without a separate setup.
• Start from files you already have: screenshots, links, Word docs, spreadsheets, PDFs and YouTube videos can seed a project.
• Code access on paid plans: download source and take the project elsewhere if you want.

The pitch is practical: go from an idea to something people can use without wiring five services yourself. If you want a broader look at this category, see our roundup of the best free AI website builders and our review of Emergent.

Macaly Pricing (2026)

Plan	Price	Highlights
Free	$0 / mo	1 published app, Macaly domain, 1M monthly credits, limited ChatGPT/Claude usage, all agent skills
Starter	$10 / mo	Custom domain, 1 published app, 1M credits, unlimited ChatGPT/Claude usage
Pro	$30 / mo	Custom domains, 5 published apps, 10M credits, unlimited ChatGPT/Claude usage
Max	$90 / mo	Custom domains, 15 published apps, 30M credits
Team	$150 / mo	3 members, 20 published sites, 40M credits, client workspaces
Agency	$350 / mo	10 members, 50 published sites, 80M credits
Scale	$750 / mo	25 members, 100 published sites, 160M credits

Every plan includes the same agent skills, plus database, hosting and sign-in. Capacity is what changes: published apps, monthly credits, storage and how freely you can drive Macaly from ChatGPT or Claude. Unused monthly credits on personal plans expire at the end of the billing period; team plans say unused credits can roll for up to 60 days. Drafts and previews do not count toward the published-app limit.

Is Macaly free? Yes. The Free plan lets you explore and keep one app live on a Macaly domain with 1M monthly credits. Custom domains and higher limits need a paid plan.

Who Macaly is for

Macaly fits founders testing ideas, marketers and designers shipping their own sites, freelancers building for clients, small teams that need internal tools, and agencies juggling multiple client workspaces. It also fits people who already build with Claude or ChatGPT and want infrastructure without leaving that chat. You do not need to know how databases, deployment or authentication work before you start.

If you mainly want UI components rather than a hosted full-stack app, something like 21st.dev may be closer. For agent-style app builders in the same neighborhood, also look at Bolt Forge and Runable.

Limitations

• Credit meters: every plan burns monthly credits; heavy builds can empty a Free or Starter allowance fast.
• Published app caps: Free and Starter keep one live app; more projects need Pro or higher.
• ChatGPT/Claude limits on Free: Macaly Cloud usage from those chats is limited until you pay.
• Not a visual design studio: you steer with prompts and files more than a full drag-and-drop canvas.
• Vendor pricing moves: we quote the public page as of November 6, 2026; confirm on Macaly before you buy.

Macaly is a strong pick when you want an AI builder that also owns hosting, database and auth, not just the UI.

Start on Free to see whether the agent ships what you need, then move to Starter or Pro when you need a custom domain or more published apps.
