Pricing

Starter is free and great for exploring Nowa and building your first app. Launch is for getting a real app live — 5× the daily AI usage, plus publishing to the app stores and the web. Scale is for building seriously every day: double the AI usage of Launch, GitHub integration, premium support — and the lowest cost per AI credit.

Paying yearly gives you a discount — for example, Scale is $59/month billed monthly but $49/month billed yearly, saving you $120 a year.

Yes — upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime under Profile → Your Plan → Manage Subscription. When you cancel, you keep your paid features until the end of your billing cycle, then your account switches to the free Starter plan. Your projects are never touched, and apps you’ve already published to the App Store or Google Play keep running — they live on the stores, not on Nowa. (We don’t refund unused time.)

Never. Everything your app earns — sales, subscriptions, ads — is 100% yours. We’ll just be cheering you on from the sidelines.

Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, Link, Cash App Pay, and Amazon Pay.

Credits are what Nowa’s AI runs on — it designs screens, builds logic, connects data, and fixes bugs from your prompts. Every plan includes daily credits that reset every day, so you can make progress on your app every single day. Launch includes 5× Starter’s daily usage, and Scale doubles that again with 10×.

It depends on the complexity of the task and the mode you use, but on average one credit is enough to build multiple fully functional screens. For example, building one screen with a modern design and full functionality costs around 0.3 credits.

Your credits refill automatically the next day, so you can always keep building tomorrow. Don’t want to wait? Upgrade for a higher daily limit, or — on Launch and Scale — top up with extra credits at $1 per credit. Extra credits never expire: Nowa always spends your daily plan credits first and only uses extra credits once those run out. Tip: if you plan to build heavily with AI, Scale is the most cost-efficient option — its included credits work out cheaper per credit than top-ups. Lighter AI use? Launch plus the occasional top-up has you covered.

Flutter is an open-source technology from Google that lets a single project run everywhere: Android, iOS, web, Windows, macOS, Linux — even embedded devices. It compiles to native code and renders every pixel itself, so your app looks identical and feels silky-smooth on every platform, with the rich, animated interfaces users expect from modern apps. It powers apps from Google, BMW, Toyota, and Alibaba. In short: build once, look great, launch everywhere. Curious? Learn more at flutter.dev.

Yes, fully. Your app is built with Flutter, and you can download the complete source code anytime — clean, scalable code that’s yours to keep, with no lock-in. You can edit any part of it yourself (and add any Flutter package), and on a local project you can even keep Nowa and an IDE like VS Code open on the same project — changes in one appear instantly in the other.

A local project is stored entirely on your own computer instead of the cloud — we can’t access it, so you keep full privacy and control over your data. Local projects also give you a performance boost while building. They’re available on every plan through Nowa Desktop.

GitHub is the world’s most popular tool for tracking a project’s history: every change is saved so you can go back in time, and you can safely try ideas on separate branches. Nowa’s GitHub integration (included in Scale) connects your project to your own GitHub account — your app’s code lives with you, and it’s the key to building with a team.

Connect your project to GitHub and add your teammates to the repository there. Each person then clones it into Nowa — as a cloud project, or as a local project opened just like in any IDE — and everyone can push changes and work on branches. New to GitHub? Their Hello World guide is a 10-minute intro.

No. You describe what you want and Nowa’s AI builds it, while the visual editor lets you fine-tune every detail — layout, colors, logic, data — without writing a line of code. And there’s no ceiling: if you (or a developer you work with) ever want to go deeper, the full code is right there.

Nowa on the web runs in your browser — perfect for starting instantly with zero setup. Nowa Desktop gives you better performance overall and unlocks local projects stored on your own machine. Your account and cloud projects work the same in both.

Sign in to Nowa on the web and you’ll see the option to download the desktop version for macOS or Windows. The installer sets up everything you need — including the Flutter SDK and an Android emulator — so you can build and test right on your computer.

Start with our docs, in-depth guides on the blog, and YouTube tutorials — and our Discord community is full of builders happy to help. Launch includes email support, and Scale comes with premium support — for complex cases we’ll even jump on a 1-on-1 video call.

Use Nowa Desktop — it works with both cloud and local projects. Enable developer mode on your phone, connect it to your computer, and it shows up as a device under Run. Choose it, and your app runs on your actual phone — with every change you make appearing on it instantly.

Nowa Desktop sets up the Flutter SDK for you, and from then on simulators show up as options under Run inside your project (you may need to start the simulator first for it to appear). One note: Apple doesn’t allow the iOS simulator on Windows — but you can still build for iOS from Windows by testing your app inside Nowa itself, then deploying to the App Store through TestFlight.

Yes — with Nowa Desktop, you’ll find the option under Run to launch your app as a macOS app (on a Mac) or a Windows app (on Windows). Every Nowa project can eventually be deployed to all platforms; the only testing limit is that a Windows machine can’t simulate a macOS app or vice versa. Tip: open the same project in Nowa on both, and see how your app runs on each.

One click. Nowa builds your app on our servers — no Mac or extra tools needed, just your Apple and Google developer accounts (those are Apple’s $99/year and Google’s one-time $25, paid to them, not us). It generates the AAB for Google Play or pushes straight to TestFlight for iOS, plus an APK you can install directly on any Android device or ship to third-party stores. Use your own signing keys or let Nowa create them for you.

Publishing to the web is one click: Nowa builds your app and hosts it for you, live at your own link (like yourapp.nowa.dev) — and every update is one click too. Want your own address? Connect a custom domain and your app lives there instead. Prefer to host it yourself? Download the web build files and put them on any service you like — you have both options. (Available on Launch and Scale; every plan can also share a free 12-hour test link to show progress.)
