Blink

Blink is an AI app builder that lets users create and deploy production-ready web and mobile applications from natural language prompts in minutes. Instead of writing code from scratch, users describe what they want and the platform's AI coding agent generates the full application, handling database configuration, authentication, APIs, and automated deployment as part of the build. Every project includes a live URL with SSL and a global CDN, so even the free plan produces a real working app rather than a demo. The platform supports building websites, SaaS products, and mobile apps that can be published to the App Store and Play Store on higher plans. Blink's credit system powers AI interactions, with credits consumed based on the complexity of each request, and production hosting scales with traffic rather than charging a flat server fee, from 50 credits per month at the 10K-visit tier. The free plan grants 5 build credits per day capped at 30 per month, with a database, authentication, APIs, and automatic deploys included, and no credit card required. Paid plans start at Starter for $25 per month with 100 plan credits plus 5 daily refresh credits and no monthly cap, Pro at $50 per month with 200 credits and advanced AI models, Max from $200 per month with 800 to 50,000 credits for heavy users and agencies, and Team at per-seat pricing starting from $40 per seat per month with a shared credit pool. Annual billing saves 50 percent, and users can purchase additional credit packs that never expire. Blink is operated by 1Flow, Inc., a California-based company, and includes features like Blink Claw for 24/7 AI agents, in-app code editing, custom email domains, and 2x machine performance on higher tiers. Blink's development model is designed for speed: projects start from a single prompt, the AI agent scaffolds the application, and users iterate with refresh credits that reset daily, letting builders refine their apps continuously rather than waiting for batch deployments. The platform handles the operational side of hosting with production hosting that scales with traffic, automatic SSL, and a global CDN, and the Max plan's 2x machine performance accelerates heavier workloads. Blink also supports custom email domains, code downloads for portability, and early access to beta features for power users. The pricing FAQ is unusually transparent, explaining exactly how daily refresh credits, plan credits, and purchased packs are consumed and reset, and how the credit-based hosting model charges from 50 credits per month at the 10K-visit tier.
