Botflow has three plans: **Free**, **Pro**, and **Max**. You can start for free with no credit card required and upgrade at any time from inside the workspace.

## Credits

Platform-managed credits let you use Botflow's AI models without providing your own API keys. Credits are included on Pro and Max plans as a monthly allotment.

### How credits are calculated

Credits are normalised across models so you can switch models freely:

* **MiniMax-M2.5** — 1 token = 1 credit
* **Claude Sonnet 4 / GPT-5.3** — weighted proportionally (higher capability = higher cost per token)
* **Cached input tokens** — cost significantly less than uncached tokens

Credits reset on the first of each month.

### Avoiding credit usage

Any request made with **your own API keys** or via **Claude OAuth / Codex OAuth** does not draw from your platform credit balance. You can mix and match — use your own key for heavy tasks and platform credits for quick edits.

See [Settings → Connections](/docs/features/settings#connections) for how to add your own keys.

## Convex

Every project gets a Convex real-time backend. The difference between plans is who manages it:

* **Free** — you connect your own Convex account (free at [convex.dev](https://convex.dev)) and paste the deployment URL into Settings. Botflow injects it automatically.
* **Pro / Max** — Botflow provisions and manages a Convex deployment for each project. No setup required.

See [Convex Backend](/docs/features/convex) for details on what Convex provides.

## Custom domains

Custom domains let you serve your Cloudflare Pages deployment from your own domain (e.g. `myapp.com`). This feature is available on **Pro and Max** plans. See [Deploy → Custom domains](/docs/features/deploy#custom-domains-pro-and-max) for setup instructions.

## Upgrading, downgrading, and cancelling

You can change your plan at any time from the **Subscription** tab in Settings. The pricing table is embedded directly — no need to navigate away from the workspace.

* **Upgrading** — takes effect immediately. You're charged a prorated amount for the remainder of the billing period.
* **Downgrading** — takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
* **Cancelling** — your plan stays active until the end of the period. Your projects and data are preserved; you return to the Free tier limits.

If you downgrade past the Free plan's 3-project limit, older projects move to read-only until you archive some or upgrade again. Nothing is deleted.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I start without a credit card?">
    Yes. The Free plan lets you build, run, and ship real projects without entering any payment info. You can always upgrade later from inside the workspace.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I have to use Botflow's AI credits?">
    No. Every plan supports bringing your own keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Fireworks — or signing in with Claude or Codex OAuth. Use the platform credits when convenient and your own keys when you want zero markup.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens to my projects if I downgrade?">
    Your projects stay live. If you exceed the lower plan's active-project limit, the oldest projects move to read-only until you archive a few or upgrade again — nothing is deleted.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is Convex really included?">
    Yes. On Pro and Max, every project gets a platform-managed Convex backend with real-time sync, typed functions, and the full Convex dashboard inside the IDE. On Free, you connect your own Convex account and Botflow wires it up automatically.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I cancel anytime?">
    Yes. Cancel from the Subscription tab in Settings — your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period, and you keep everything you've built.
