Yes. Publish it, and share its address. See Publish your app.

Yes. On a small screen, the workspace shows the chat, the preview or the code one at a time, with a bar at the bottom to switch. See The workspace.

So you never come back to a build that waited for you. When something is not clear, Crisp makes a sensible choice and says what it chose in its plan. Correct it in your next message.

Yes. Press Undo this change under the newest reply, or Restore under an earlier one, to go back, with the data or the code only. Later replies are kept, so you can redo them. See Undo anything.

Records you added stay in the database. A change that removes or renames a detail can remove the values stored in it, so say what should happen to existing records. See Your app's data.

Building and checking a typical new app uses about one dollar of AI usage, and most small changes use a few cents. Each plan includes some usage every month. See How AI usage is charged.

No. A request that ends with an error or stops because of a problem on our side is free, and so is the part of a request where Crisp fixes errors it caused. When the same error comes back, Crisp stops trying the same fix: the repeated attempt is not charged, and the chat offers a different approach. A build that changed nothing and still fails costs at most 5 cents. All of this has one generous monthly limit, so failing on purpose cannot buy free building. See How AI usage is charged.

Yes. Under the chat box you see what requests like yours usually cost, your balance and your limit per request. If your balance or your limit may stop the request, it says so before you send. See How AI usage is charged.

No. Published apps stay online whatever your balance. Running out only pauses new AI requests.

You do: the code, the data and the app itself. See What belongs to you.

Your instructions and the parts of your project the AI needs to do the work, such as code and error messages. See our Privacy Policy.

AI features inside your app use your own key from an AI provider, and the provider bills you directly. See Add AI features.
