Build your website for free with AI.

You describe a website or app in plain language, approve a plan (we call it a blueprint) that shows what will be built and what it costs in credits, and 9orb builds it. You preview the result, publish it when you're happy, and keep improving it by chatting — describe a change and 9orb makes it. Websites are usually ready in about 1–8 minutes and are hosted by 9orb at their own address, like https://lumiere-nails.9orbsites.com. Apps with sign-in, data or payments are built in an isolated sandbox with tests and an independent AI review (typically 40–90 minutes), then published to their own web service with their own database. 9orb manages all the technical services — you don't need GitHub, Render, Supabase or any other account.

The code generated for you is yours to use, as our Terms of Service describe. Here is exactly where things live today. Each build's code is pushed to a private repository in 9orb's managed GitHub organization. Websites are hosted and stored by 9orb; apps run on their own web service with their own PostgreSQL database, managed by 9orb on its Render infrastructure. If you connect your GitHub account (Settings → Integrations, optional), 9orb invites you to your project's repository as a collaborator with write access, so you can read and clone the code. Moving a repository or an app into your own account is not self-service yet — if you need that, ask us through the contact page.

No. You describe what you want in ordinary language, approve a plan, preview the result and publish it. After launch, changes are made in plain language too. You also don't need any technical accounts — 9orb handles hosting, databases and code storage. If you are technical or later bring in a developer, you can connect GitHub to read and clone the code. But none of that is required to build, launch and run a product.

Two kinds. Websites — landing pages, business and brochure sites, portfolios — take the fast path and are hosted by 9orb with HTTPS and a mobile-friendly layout. Apps with sign-in, data or payments — booking systems, directories, dashboards, customer portals, simple SaaS products — take the full path with their own database, tests and an independent AI review. We are honest about the boundary: native mobile apps, real-time multiplayer systems, heavy data processing, or products whose core is a novel algorithm need traditional engineering. If your idea is outside what can be built well, the plan stage will say so.

You buy one-time credit packs: $9 for 50 credits, $29 for 200 credits, or $79 for 600 credits, by card (Polar) or crypto (NOWPayments). No subscription is required and packs never renew; 9orb Builder ($49/month, 200 credits a month plus analytics, version restore and priority) is optional. Credits do not expire, and new accounts get 30 free trial credits. Typical costs: a website build is 8–28 credits, shown before it starts; a website change is 2 credits. Apps run on their own server and database, so they are part of the 9orb Builder plan, which includes up to 3 apps live at the same time (or you host them on your own Render account, without that limit); an app build reserves 90–280 credits and you are charged only the measured usage (minimum 10) — the rest is refunded; an app change reserves 100 credits and is charged by usage the same way. Websites have no hosting charge. Domains bought through 9orb are paid in credits.

Yes, as an optional extra. You can add your own OpenAI key (starts with sk-, from platform.openai.com) or Anthropic key (starts with sk-ant-, from console.anthropic.com) under Settings. Your keys are used for website builds, ideas and changes, and that usage is billed by the provider directly to you; app builds always use 9orb's AI. Every key you store is encrypted at rest, shown only in masked form after saving, and never sent back to your browser.

It depends on the kind of build, and the rule is shown before you start. A website build that fails is refunded in full. An app build that stops because of an error on 9orb's side is not charged. An app build that runs but fails its independent review is charged the usage it consumed, because that work was really done. In every case you see what happened in plain language, and a failed build never replaces a version that is already live.

Yes — that is the normal way products live here. Describe a change in plain language — "add a testimonials section", "send customers a reminder email the day before their appointment", "make the booking button more prominent" — and 9orb makes it. You see the cost before anything runs: a website change is 2 credits; an app change reserves 100 credits and is charged by the usage it actually needs. Each change is saved as a new version.
