How much does Softgen cost?

New accounts get 75 free trial credits with no card. Starter is $25 a month for 500 credits and up to ten projects, and Pro is $49 a month for 1,500 credits with unlimited projects, more models, custom domains and one month of credit rollover. Credits top up from $5 for 500, extra project slots cost $3 a year, and older pages still describe a $29 or $33 annual license with a pay as you go wallet.

Does Softgen require human approval before an agent acts?

Full under the Agentic Index verification standard. Softgen publishes public evidence of human approval steps and guardrails, so an agent action can be held for review before it executes. Evidence basis: Plan Mode lets the agent work out an approach while creating or changing no files until the builder moves on, and the builder approves or refines each step. Full version history lets a builder compare versions and revert to any earlier one,. Graded from public evidence only against the Agentic Index 14 point capability taxonomy. No vendor pays for placement.

Can you bring your own model or route between providers with Softgen?

Full under the Agentic Index verification standard. Softgen publishes public evidence of bring your own model and bring your own key (BYOK), and of routing tasks between models or providers rather than being locked to one. Evidence basis: Builders can switch models at any time, and Pro opens more than a dozen, with a models page listing about 30 from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Moonshot, Qwen, Zhipu and DeepSeek, from Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT 6 Sol to Kimi K3 and GLM 5.2, some. Graded from public evidence only against the Agentic Index 14 point capability taxonomy. No vendor pays for placement.

Does Softgen have SOC 2, SSO and role based access control?

Partial under the Agentic Index verification standard. Softgen publishes some public evidence of security and identity controls, but narrower than the full set of SOC 2, single sign on (SSO) and role based access control (RBAC). Evidence basis: Projects have an owner and invited members, sign in runs through Kinde with custom session expiry, and recent changes tightened Git credential handling and sandbox token exposure, while a builder's own Supabase keeps app data out of Softgen. Graded from public evidence only against the Agentic Index 14 point capability taxonomy. No vendor pays for placement.

Softgen is an AI web app builder from Softgen Labs Inc. whose agent asks follow up questions, plans and writes a full stack Next.js app with a Supabase backend, running it in a live sandbox as it builds. Builders iterate in chat or a visual editor, revert to any version, and publish through Softgen or their own Vercel account, with the code in a GitHub repository. Plans start at $25 a month for 500 credits after free trial credits.

Softgen is sold by Softgen Labs Inc., which gives a Las Vegas mailing address, places its terms under Singapore law and describes itself as an Arising Ventures enterprise. It reports more than 186,000 builders, and its showcase lists dozens of small business sites, directories and tools built on it. The product is a browser based builder with chat, a live preview sandbox, a database console, a visual editor and a GitHub repository behind every project.

A builder describes an app in plain English, the agent asks follow up questions and drafts a development plan, and Plan Mode changes no files until the builder moves on. It then writes Next.js code with Tailwind across frontend, backend and database, showing each file change as it happens, and runs the app in a sandbox where the builder clicks through pages and forms.

Supabase is set up with one click, creating the project, credentials, auth and storage, with an SQL editor, CSV import and the option to bring an existing Supabase project in or move it out. Stripe and Resend are added by having the agent write the code, and one click integrations add analytics and marketing tags such as Google Analytics, PostHog and Meta Pixel. Builders choose which files the agent sees, switch models at any time, edit visually without spending credits, and compare or revert any earlier version.

Apps publish through Softgen or the builder's own Vercel account, with custom domains on Pro, and the code lives in a Softgen managed GitHub repository the builder joins as a collaborator and can open in Cursor or VS Code. A console streams browser errors and network events, and thread costs and usage appear in analytics. Softgen names no security certification or single sign on, projects have an owner and invited members, and its terms grant it a perpetual license to use prompts and code to improve and train AI models. There is no public API.

Trial credits need no card, Starter costs $25 a month for 500 credits with GPT 5.1 and Gemini 3.1 Pro, GitHub export and up to ten projects, and Pro costs $49 a month for 1,500 credits with more than a dozen models, managed Supabase backups, custom domains and free collaborators. Older pages still describe an annual license with a pay as you go wallet. It fits solo founders and small businesses that want a standard Next.js and Supabase app built quickly in the browser. It fits less well for teams that need security assurances, automation beyond chat, testing, or terms that keep their code out of model training.

In practice

A property manager describes a tenant portal; Softgen asks about user roles and payments, drafts a plan in Plan Mode, then builds the Next.js pages and a Supabase database with auth, and she clicks through the sandbox before publishing to a custom domain on Pro.

A founder imports an existing Next.js repository from GitHub, narrows the agent's context to the files for a new dashboard, has it add Stripe checkout code, and publishes to his own Vercel account.

A small agency builds a job board from a template, adds Google Analytics and a Meta Pixel with one click integrations, and reverts to an earlier version after a change breaks the listing page.

Integrations & Tool Calling	Full
One click sets up Supabase for a project, creating it and configuring credentials, auth and storage, and the database console adds an SQL editor, CSV import, pause and resume of Supabase projects and a path to bring a customer's own Supabase in or move it out. Apps deploy to Vercel through Softgen or the builder's own account, each project sits in a GitHub repository with private repo import, and one click integrations add Google Analytics, PostHog, Meta and other tags, while Stripe and Resend come in as code the agent writes. Sourceacademy.softgen.ai/fullstack/supabase/supabase-onboardingread 2026-11-08
Workflow Orchestration	Partial
The agent asks follow up questions, drafts a development plan, then writes code across frontend, backend and database while each file change appears as it happens, under Plan, Creative or Standard modes. A design agent and a Project Manager feature are named but not explained, and Softgen describes no subagents, task lists, handoffs or parallel work beyond one agent taking one request at a time. Sourcesoftgen.airead 2026-11-08
Knowledge Grounding & RAG	Partial
Builders choose which files sit in the agent's context, opening or closing them in bulk and searching the file tree, and a context indicator shows how full the window is with token counts per message. Existing Next.js or Vite and React repositories come in through GitHub import and data through CSV, but no codebase index, document library or web research feeds the agent. Sourceacademy.softgen.ai/guides/prompting/context-window-managementread 2026-11-08
Human Oversight & Guardrails	Full
Plan Mode lets the agent work out an approach while creating or changing no files until the builder moves on, and the builder approves or refines each step. Full version history lets a builder compare versions and revert to any earlier one, backed by the project's GitHub repository, a failed AI fix waits for approval before it applies, and the visual editor changes pages directly without any AI action. Sourceacademy.softgen.ai/guides/getting-startedread 2026-11-08
Security, Identity & Governance	Partial
Projects have an owner and invited members, sign in runs through Kinde with custom session expiry, and recent changes tightened Git credential handling and sandbox token exposure, while a builder's own Supabase keeps app data out of Softgen's hands. Softgen names no SOC 2, ISO or other certification, no single sign on and no encryption detail, and its terms grant it a perpetual license to use prompts and code for improving and training AI models. Sourcesoftgen.ai/legalread 2026-11-08
Observability & Auditability	Partial
A console panel streams the preview's browser logs, errors, warnings and network events in real time, the database console shows Supabase logs and optimization tips, and Advanced Mode shows the cost of each thread with usage analytics. A public status page reports service health, but there is no audit log, exportable run history or record of agent actions beyond the chat. Sourceacademy.softgen.ai/developer-tools/console-debuggingread 2026-11-08
Memory & State Persistence	Partial
Project threads persist, and when a thread grows long a builder can choose Summarize and Restart to carry its context into a fresh one. Custom prompts saved in settings can be added, edited and deleted and sync across sessions, but they act as instructions, and Softgen describes no memory the agent builds about a project or a builder's preferences over time. Sourceacademy.softgen.ai/guides/prompting/context-window-managementread 2026-11-08
Deployment & Data Residency	Partial
Apps publish through Softgen or to the builder's own Vercel account, custom domains come with Pro, and the site's FAQ mentions Netlify or the builder's own servers as further targets. A builder can bring an existing Supabase project, which keeps the database in an account the builder controls, but the builder itself runs only as Softgen's hosted service, with no region choice or self hosting. Sourceacademy.softgen.ai/guides/deploymentread 2026-11-08
Prebuilt Agents / Templates / Packs	Partial
Seven starter templates cover a ChatGPT clone, a blog, a store, a job board, project management, a digital marketplace and a SaaS directory, and any project can be remixed into a new one. Every app starts from a Next.js boilerplate, but Softgen offers no catalog of prebuilt agents, workflows or integration packs beyond these starters and the one click tags. Sourcesoftgen.ai/templatesread 2026-11-08
Triggers & Channel Coverage	Partial
Work starts only from a message in the project chat inside the browser builder, where the agent replies with questions or a plan before it builds. No schedule, event, webhook or API starts the agent, and Softgen points builders who want automations after launch to ActRun, a partner service with its own account and billing rather than part of Softgen. Sourcesoftgen.airead 2026-11-08
Model Flexibility & Routing	Full
Builders can switch models at any time, and Pro opens more than a dozen, with a models page listing about 30 from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Moonshot, Qwen, Zhipu and DeepSeek, from Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT 6 Sol to Kimi K3 and GLM 5.2, some with their cost per million tokens shown. Starter is limited to GPT 5.1 and Gemini 3.1 Pro and the trial to Kimi, and there is no bring your own key. Sourcesoftgen.ai/modelsread 2026-11-08
APIs / SDKs / MCP Extensibility	Not documented
No public API, SDK, command line tool or MCP server lets another program create projects, prompt the agent or read results, and the builder works only through its own browser interface. The API reference in Softgen's academy holds a Mintlify sample plant store file rather than a Softgen API, and the GitHub organization offers starters and forks, not a client for the product. Sourceacademy.softgen.ai/api-reference/openapi.jsonread 2026-11-08
Testing, Debugging & Optimization	Partial
Advanced Mode adds terminal access and a build button inside a bug finder, and generated TypeScript types come out correctly typed. Fixing errors depends on the builder pasting console or network errors into chat for the agent to act on, and Softgen describes no linting, automated tests or automatic fix loop that checks an app before it publishes to Softgen or Vercel. Sourceacademy.softgen.ai/developer-tools/console-debuggingread 2026-11-08
Browser / Computer-use	Not documented
The live sandbox lets the builder click through pages, test forms and check the database by hand, and the console panel passes browser errors and network events back to chat for the agent to read. No Softgen agent opens a browser, clicks through the app it built, visits outside sites or drives a desktop, so checking the running app before publishing stays a human task.

Pricing

Free trial credits with no card, or Starter at $25 a month for 500 credits.

Monthly plans sized by credits, with credit top ups and extra project slots; older pages describe an annual license plus a pay as you go wallet.

Trial available

Included quota

Starter includes 500 credits a month and up to ten projects; Pro includes 1,500 credits with one month of rollover and unlimited projects.

What is public

Starter and Pro prices and credits, trial credits, top up prices and rough credit costs per action.

Billing mechanics

Monthly credit plans with top ups, one month rollover on Pro and paid extra project slots.

Cost watchouts

Premium model refactors draw about 50 credits, top up prices differ between the FAQ and the site code, and extra project slots cost extra on Starter.

Variable cost rationale

Plans are fixed credit allowances, but credits per action vary with the model and size of the change, so heavy builders on premium models buy top ups.

Additional watchouts

Several pricing models appear on live pages, and the terms allow training on prompts and code.

Overage / add-ons

Top ups add credits, from $5 for 500, and extra project slots cost $3 a year; a quick edit runs about 5 credits, a full page build about 30 and a premium model refactor about 50.

Sales call required

No, self serve available

Free / trial

New accounts start with 75 free trial credits and no card required; GitHub, publishing and full model choice need a paid plan.

Lowest paid plan

Starter at $25 a month for 500 credits

Commercial notes

Softgen Labs Inc. sells Softgen directly through its website, with ActRun offered as a separate partner service for automations.

Key ambiguities

Monthly Starter and Pro plans sit beside a $3 trial with a $29 annual license on one page and a $33 annual membership with a wallet in the docs and terms.

Cancellation / refund

Monthly plans; the terms say all fees are non refundable while the academy says refunds follow the payment method's timelines.

Support SLA / resale

Pro adds unlimited projects, more models, managed Supabase backups, custom domains, free collaborators and priority support; there is no team or enterprise plan.

Missing data

Annual pricing for the current plans and which pricing model the terms now govern.
