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

ActionApproximate Bits
Simple question1-5 bits
Change a color or text10-15 bits
Add a simple component (button, field)25-40 bits
Create a new screen30-50 bits
Build a complex feature40-80 bits
Debug stubborn errors15-50 bits (varies)

​
Why Usage Varies

Bit consumption depends on:
  • Complexity — More complex features = more AI thinking
  • Specificity — Vague requests require more iterations
  • AI Mode — Max mode uses more bits per request than Quick or Enhanced
  • Errors — Build failures trigger debugging cycles
  • Project size — Larger projects need more context processing
Specific, clear prompts use fewer bits than vague requests. “Add a blue button with white text” is cheaper than “make it look better.”

Choosing Your Plan

​
Decision Guide

Start with Coffee ($2 one-time)150 bits gives you enough to:
  • Generate your first app (40-50 bits)
  • Make a few changes and tweaks
  • See if Nativeline is right for you
No subscription, no commitment.
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
Most users find Builder more than enough to get started.
Builder (25)orPro(25) or Pro (50)First app generation is typically 40-50 bits. Consider:
  • Builder if you just want the app built
  • Pro if you want to see the code, manage your database, and track version history
Pro is worth it if you’re curious about how things work.
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
Code access requires Pro or Scale.
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
Scale gives you the flexibility to build as much as you need without running out.

Example: Per-Message Costs

Here’s what typical messages cost in bits:
1

First app generation (~40-50 bits)

“Create a task list app with add and complete features”
2

Adding a feature (~25-40 bits)

“Add due dates to tasks with a date picker”
3

Bug fix (~15-30 bits)

“Tasks aren’t saving when I close the app”
4

Design change (~10-15 bits)

“Make the cards have rounded corners and shadows”
5

Quick question (~1-5 bits)

“How do I add a search bar?”
Every app is different, so total costs vary based on complexity and how many changes you make.
Enhanced mode often costs the same or less than Quick mode for the same task — it makes fewer mistakes and needs fewer iterations. It’s the default for a reason.

​
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
At 100% usage:
  • 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 the Toolkit

Drop assets in with # commands instead of describing them — the AI gets it right the first time

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

Billing & Subscription

​
Upgrading

  1. Go to Settings → Plans
  2. Select a higher tier
  3. Confirm the upgrade
  4. New bits are added immediately
  5. You’re charged a prorated amount
Upgrades take effect instantly.

​
Downgrading

  2. Select a lower tier
  3. Confirm the change
  4. Continues at current tier until billing date
  5. New tier starts at next billing cycle
Downgrading from Pro or higher means losing code editor access. Make sure you don’t have unsaved edits before downgrading.

​
Canceling

  1. Go to Settings → Subscription
  2. Click Cancel Subscription
  3. Confirm cancellation
  4. Access continues until end of billing period

​
Frequently Asked Questions

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.
Yes! Upgrade to a higher tier anytime. New bits are added immediately and you’re charged a prorated amount.
No, bits reset monthly. Unused bits don’t carry over to the next month.
Yes! The Coffee plan is a one-time $2 purchase that gives you 150 bits with no subscription. Great for trying Nativeline or quick one-off needs.
Complex requests with errors use more bits due to debugging cycles. Try being more specific or breaking into smaller requests. Also check your AI mode — Max mode uses more bits per request.
Check nativeline.ai for current offers and trial availability.
We accept all major credit cards and debit cards through Stripe.
