Start building with 100 free x1 credits

Start with 100 free credits. No credit card required.

Use your free credits to validate your app idea, check if it is buildable, estimate revenue potential, generate your first app plan, explore design directions, and build your first milestone in x1.

x1 is a guided AI app studio for people who want to turn app ideas into working iPhone apps without starting from a blank codebase or a chaotic prompt thread.

How free credits work

New users get 100 free credits automatically when they sign up for x1. No credit card is required, and the credits do not expire.

The free credits are designed to help you test whether x1 is the right app-building workflow for your idea. They will not usually build a full app, but they can help you validate the idea, create the plan, explore designs, and build the first milestone.

What 100 credits usually can and cannot do

With 100 credits, you can usually…Usually not enough for…
Validate an app ideaA full app build
Run a buildability checkMultiple complete milestones

Credit usage varies based on the complexity of the app, the number of design iterations, and the number of build requests.

What free credits are best for

Free credits are best for answering the questions most app builders never answer early enough:

  • Is this app idea buildable?
  • Is the idea too vague?
  • What should the first version include?
  • What should wait until later?
  • What screens does the app need?
  • How could this app make money?
  • What should the first milestone be?
  • Does x1 feel like the right way to build it?

Example: start with a driveway parking app

Imagine you want to build an app that lets people rent out their driveway as a parking spot during concerts, games, festivals, and busy weekends.

With 100 free credits, you could use x1 to:

  1. Validate whether the idea is realistic to build
  2. Estimate revenue potential
  3. Define the first target user
  4. Generate the first product plan
  5. Explore a few design directions
  6. Build the first milestone, such as onboarding or the listing flow

That is the point of free credits: not to promise a full finished app for free, but to help you get past the blank page and see whether the idea has a real path.

What happens when you run out of credits?

When you run out of credits, you can still view your project, but you cannot generate or build more until you add credits.

An active build pauses until credits are added.

You can continue by upgrading your plan or buying additional credits when available.

Why x1 uses credits

AI app creation has different levels of usage. Validating an idea, generating a plan, designing screens, building milestones, QA'ing work, and making edits all use AI in different ways.

Credits make that usage visible. You start with 100 free credits, then upgrade when you are ready to keep building.

What makes x1 different from a free AI prompt box?

A prompt box will usually start generating immediately.

x1 starts by understanding the app idea.

Before building, x1 validates the idea, checks buildability, estimates revenue potential, asks clarifying questions, and turns the idea into a plan. Then it helps you design and build through milestones instead of trying to generate the entire app in one pass.
