Pricing
We meter the forge, never the building.
Snapping blocks together is unlimited on every plan, including the free one. It costs us nothing to run and it is the part that teaches. The only thing we count is casting a brand-new block, because that is the part with an AI bill attached.

The small print, in plain words
- What actually spends a credit
- One credit comes off when a block is forged successfully and saved to your kid’s palette. Conversations that end without a block cost nothing, and neither do our own retries or a block that fails its checks before your kid ever sees it.
- Credits come back every 30 days
- They refill on their own thirty days after the last reset — not on your billing date, which is a far more fragile thing to tie a kid’s month to.
- If you stop paying, nothing is deleted
- Extra child profiles and projects go read-only and wait for you. We do not delete a child’s work because a card expired.
- Why the free tier is real
- A crippled free tier would undercut the whole claim. 15 forges a month is a genuine constraint, and it pushes exactly the habit we want: reuse what you have, mint sparingly.
Start free, with no card. You can move to Family later from your dashboard, and every block your kid has already made comes with you.
