Understanding WeWeb Pricing ​

WeWeb offers two distinct types of plans that serve different purposes - seat plans and hosting plans. This guide explains the differences between these plan types and clarifies some of the key features offered.

TIP

To fully use WeWeb, you'll typically need both a seat plan (to build) and a hosting plan (to publish) unless you're self-hosting your application.

Plan Types ​

Seat Plans ​

Seat plans determine what building capabilities you have access to within the WeWeb editor. These plans control:

  • The number of developer seats (users who can access the WeWeb editor)
  • Access to specific WeWeb features for building applications
  • AI token allocation
  • Code export and self-hosting capabilities

The seat plan tiers are:

  • Free
  • Essential
  • Pro
  • Partner

Hosting Plans ​

Hosting plans determine how you can deploy and share your WeWeb applications with others. These plans control:

  • Where your application can be hosted (WeWeb subdomain or custom domain)
  • Bandwidth and traffic limitations
  • Branding options
  • Application session limits

The hosting plan tiers are:

  • Free
  • Launch
  • Grow
  • Scale

Feature Explanations ​

Code Export & Self-Hosting ​

What it is: This feature allows you to download the code of your WeWeb project and host it on your own infrastructure.

Availability: Available on Essential seat plan and higher

Key benefits:

  • Deploy your application on your own servers
  • No WeWeb hosting limitations (bandwidth, sessions, etc.)
  • Complete control over your application's hosting environment
  • Ability to integrate with your own DevOps processes

TIP

Self-hosting gives you complete control but also means you're responsible for your own infrastructure, scalability, and security.

AI Tokens ​

What they are: AI tokens are used when interacting with WeWeb's AI features to generate content, logic, or designs.

How they work:

  • Each seat plan includes a specific monthly allocation of AI tokens
  • Tokens are consumed when using AI-powered features
  • Different AI operations consume different amounts of tokens

WARNING

AI tokens reset monthly and don't roll over. Plan your AI usage accordingly to avoid running out of tokens before your renewal date.

Seats ​

What they are: Seats represent individual user accounts that can access the WeWeb editor to build applications.

How they work:

  • Each seat allows one user to access the WeWeb editor
  • Seats are assigned to specific team members
  • Different seat plans allow different numbers of seats
  • Some plans charge per seat, while others include a set number of seats

App Sessions ​

What they are: App sessions represent individual user interactions with your published WeWeb application.

How they work:

  • Each time a user visits your application, it counts as a session
  • Hosting plans have different limits on the number of monthly sessions
  • When self-hosting, app session limits don't apply

Price Per Seat ​

What it is: This pricing model charges based on the number of developers who need access to the WeWeb editor.

How it works:

  • You pay for each individual who needs to build applications in WeWeb
  • Different seat plans have different per-seat pricing
  • Some plans include a set number of seats in the base price

Unlimited Seats ​

What it is: Some plans allow an unlimited number of developers to access the WeWeb editor.

How it works:

  • Everyone on your team can build applications without additional seat charges
  • Typically available on higher-tier plans

Export Code & Self-Host ​

What it is: The ability to download your WeWeb project's code and deploy it elsewhere.

How it works:

  • Export your project as compiled code ready for deployment
  • Host on any web server or cloud platform
  • Bypass WeWeb's hosting limitations
  • Available on Essential seat plan and higher

Choosing the Right Plans ​

You'll need both a seat plan and a hosting plan (unless you're self-hosting):

  1. Seat Plan: Choose based on how many developers need to build applications and what features you need access to.

  2. Hosting Plan: Choose based on your traffic needs, custom domain requirements, and white-labeling needs.

  3. Self-Hosting: If you plan to self-host, you can choose any seat plan that includes code export (Essential or higher), and you won't need a WeWeb hosting plan.

FAQs ​

Do I need both a seat plan and a hosting plan? ​

Yes, unless you're self-hosting. The seat plan gives you access to build applications, while the hosting plan allows you to publish them on WeWeb's infrastructure.

If I self-host, do I still need a hosting plan? ​

No. If you export your code and host it on your own infrastructure, you don't need a WeWeb hosting plan. However, you'll still need an appropriate seat plan (Essential or higher) that includes the code export feature.

What happens if I exceed my hosting plan limits? ​

If you exceed your monthly app sessions or bandwidth limits, you may experience throttling or temporary service interruptions. You can upgrade your hosting plan or consider self-hosting options.

Can I mix different plan tiers for seat and hosting plans? ​

Yes, you can choose different tiers for your seat and hosting plans based on your specific needs. For example, you might have a Pro seat plan but a Launch hosting plan.

TIP

When your application is in development, you might need a higher-tier seat plan but can use a lower-tier hosting plan. When launching to production, you might need to increase your hosting plan tier while maintaining the same seat plan.
