What spends credits and what never does

Updated Sep 9, 2026

Building spends credits. Everything else is free.

Always free

Describing the business, answering questions, attaching files, previewing, approving, going back to an earlier version, submitting to the App Store, resubmitting after a rejection caused by our build, and exporting your code.

Spends credits

Drawing a new screen, rebuilding a screen after a change, switching design direction after screens exist, and the whole app review before submission. The console shows an estimate before every one of these and asks you to confirm.
