Plans & Pricing
Nativeline offers flexible plans to match how you build. Whether you’re exploring, building your first app, or shipping products, there’s a plan for you.Understanding Bits
Nativeline uses a bits system to measure AI usage. Bits are your monthly AI budget — think of them like data on a phone plan. When the AI thinks, plans, writes code, or debugs, it uses bits. More complex tasks use more bits.How Bits Are Consumed
| Action | Approximate Bits |
|---|---|
| Simple question | 1-5 bits |
| Change a color or text | 10-15 bits |
| Add a simple component (button, field) | 25-40 bits |
| Create a new screen | 30-50 bits |
| Build a complex feature | 40-80 bits |
| Debug stubborn errors | 15-50 bits (varies) |
Why Usage Varies
Bit consumption depends on:- Complexity — More complex features = more AI thinking
- Specificity — Vague requests require more iterations
- Errors — Build failures trigger debugging cycles
- Project size — Larger projects need more context processing

Start with Builder ($25/month)1,000 bits gives you plenty of room to:
- Generate your first app (40-50 bits)
- Add features and make changes
- Experiment freely without worrying about limits

Builder (50)First app generation is typically 40-50 bits. Consider:
- Builder if you just want the app built
- Pro if you want to see and learn from the code
I want to see and edit the code

Pro ($50/month) or higherThe code editor lets you:
- View all generated Swift code
- Make quick edits yourself
- Read logs for debugging
- Learn Swift by doing

Scale ($100+/month)Building several apps or one ambitious project? Scale lets you:
- Choose exactly how many bits you need
- Get priority support
- Access new features early

Example: Per-Message Costs
Here’s what typical messages cost in bits:
Every app is different, so total costs vary based on complexity and how many changes you make.
Managing Your Bits
Checking Usage
Your remaining bits are always visible in Nativeline:- Look for the bits indicator in the toolbar
- A progress bar shows usage percentage
- Warning appears at 80% usage
- Bits reset monthly on your billing date
When Bits Run Low
At 80% usage:- Warning notification appears
- Consider upgrading or being more efficient
- AI features pause until reset
- Your projects remain safe
- You can still open and view your code
- Bits reset on your billing date
Tips to Use Bits Efficiently
Be Specific
“Add 16pt padding and 12pt rounded corners” uses fewer bits than “make it look better”
Use Images
Attach screenshots or mockups — visual context saves iterations
Build Incrementally
Add features one at a time, testing each before moving on
Edit Small Things Yourself
On Pro+, use the code editor for tiny tweaks like colors and text

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to my projects if I cancel?
What happens to my projects if I cancel?
Your projects stay on your Mac in
~/Documents/Nativeline Projects/. You can still open them in Xcode. You just can’t use AI features without an active plan.Can I get more bits mid-month?
Can I get more bits mid-month?
Yes! Upgrade to a higher tier anytime. New bits are added immediately and you’re charged a prorated amount.
Do unused bits roll over?
Do unused bits roll over?
No, bits reset monthly. Unused bits don’t carry over to the next month.
Why did that request use so many bits?
Why did that request use so many bits?
Complex requests with errors use more bits due to debugging cycles. Try being more specific or breaking into smaller requests.
