That's a great point. I will be updating the credit page with details like how many credit gives you which project.
Why it is better to use Zolly is simple. We provide you with Visual Editor. Where you can drag n drop images, click to edit text, click to add link.
On other AI builders you need to give prompt to even change a basic text which will eventually eat up your credits but with Zolly AI builds your website and You design it.
Yup, I am getting this complaint a lot. Pushing an update by this week with credit usage details. Which model eats how much credit to generate a specific project.
I’m a solo founder building an AI app builder that lets people generate web apps and websites from a prompt, then visually edit the output.
People are signing up. They’re building things. Usage looks healthy.
But almost no one converts to paid.
I’m trying to understand what’s actually stopping people from paying in cases like this.
Is it trust in AI-generated code? Fear of using it in production? Too much value in the free tier? Or the tool feeling useful but not yet “mission critical”?
For those who’ve built or paid for similar tools:
What finally pushed you to upgrade — or what kept you from doing it?
They were like " We got almost everything for free from building application to edit and then download or publish everything for free" Why would we upgrade to a paid plan.
Honestly, I have been through some of my competitors pricing. I noticed free tier are really good these days. I'm just curious to know what finally made others to upgrade from free tier to paid tier.
Is the user base churning or are you getting multi day active users? Which one will point you in a different direction.
Once the page has been generated where can I host it? The answer will influence your target audience.
And then on pricing what does a credit get me in terms of something tangible - a page, 5 pages?
And for the target audience do they know which model is better? And if so why is it better to use your site than just direct prompt?

I also came here to say that I am unsure of what credits will get me.

Thanks for the feedback

Why don’t you ask them? Customer feedback is the only indicator, we would only be guessing.
Totally agree. I’ve talked to a handful, but responses tend to be vague “just testing”, “not ready yet”.
I posted here to learn how others ran those conversations and what signs helped them tell casual interest apart from real intent to buy.
Ask your customers
Honestly, I did
And few of my early users replied.

Have you checked where do your paid tier offerings stack up to free tier offerings of your competitors?

Weekly (one time) is very confusing naming. Maybe hobby or starter is better.
True. Thanks for the feedback.
Honestly I planned it to keep Starter but it was only for a week. So thought for better understanding to change it to weekly.
But the feedback noted it would be better I guess to change it to Starter from Weekly
