Pricing Early access: nothing can be bought yet

Free on your PC. Fair in the cloud.

Build as many sites as you like on your own computer for nothing. No suitable graphics card? Iris Cloud runs the AI in the cloud for you, and you see about how many credits a build will use before it starts.

Iris is in early access. Iris Cloud accounts are open at cloud.buildwithiris.com, with payments still in test mode, so nothing can be bought yet. These prices may change before launch. A three-page site typically uses about 30 credits. Prices in US dollars; sales tax or VAT is added at checkout where it applies.

Our promises

No surprises.

What the draft terms say, in plain words. The full text is on the legal page.

The cost before you build

Every build shows about how many credits it will use before it starts. Its browser checks and repairs are part of the build, not a separate job.

No surprise charges

A build holds its credits when it starts, so it never stops part-way for lack of credits, and an AI call that fails costs nothing extra. A build that stops on our side pauses where it was.

Credits that last

Unused plan credits roll over for 3 months. Top-up credits never expire while your account is open, and stay usable after you cancel.

Cancel online

Any time, in the app or on your account page; your plan runs to the end of what you paid for. Your sites stay online, because they live on your own host account.

14-day refund

Your first payment of any plan is refunded in full within 14 days if you've used less than 20% of its credits. Unused top-ups can be refunded within 14 days.

Edits without AI are free

Changing words, photos, styles, sections, pages, menus and links never uses credits, on any plan.

Fair notice

We tell you about a price change before it applies to you, so you can cancel first. Yearly plans keep their price for the year you paid for.

A reminder before renewal

Yearly plans get a reminder each year before they renew, with the price and how to cancel.

Or pay nothing

With a 24 GB graphics card, Iris Free has every feature with no account and no limits.

Credits

What things cost.

Typical credits for each thing you ask Iris to do on Iris Cloud. Everything that needs no AI is free.

Against the others

A year of one website.

Website builders charge rent to keep a site online. With Iris you pay for AI only while you build and change it.

First year of one small-business site on your own domain with no builder badge. Competitor figures are their cheapest plan that allows that, at list price, for 12 months (time-limited offers aside), and include their hosting. Iris figures leave out your domain (about $10 to $20 a year) and use your host's free plan. Prices seen 27 October 2026.

Questions

About paying.

Is the free version really free?

Yes. On a Windows PC with a graphics card that has 24 GB of video memory, Iris's AI runs on your computer: unlimited sites, every feature, no account. You pay only for your electricity, your domain and any paid host plan you choose.

Why would I pay for Iris Cloud?

Most computers don't have a 24 GB graphics card. Iris Cloud runs Iris's AI in the cloud instead and writes several pages at once, so builds finish sooner. Building, previews and browser tests still run on your PC.

Can I use my own AI account or API key?

No. Cloud AI in Iris is available through Iris Cloud only.

What happens to my sites if I stop paying?

Nothing. They're published to your own Netlify, Vercel or Cloudflare Pages account and the code is yours. You can keep editing them for free, and keep building on your own PC if it's powerful enough.

How do I know what a build will cost?

Before a build starts, Iris shows about how many credits it will use. A typical build is about 6 + 8 a page (about 30 for three pages), twice that with Best quality, and its browser checks and repairs are part of it.

Do you offer free credits to try Iris Cloud?

Not at the moment. Iris Free costs nothing if your PC has a 24 GB graphics card, one site on Iris Cloud is an $8 top-up with no subscription, and your first plan payment is refunded in full within 14 days if you've used less than 20% of its credits.
