Netlify has introduced a new credit-based pricing model tailored for AI development workflows, aiming to provide a simple and transparent pricing structure that scales predictably. Existing customers can remain on their current plans without mandatory changes, while new offerings include a Personal plan at $9 per month with 1,000 credits and an updated Pro plan at $20 per month with 5,000 credits. The credit-based system consolidates usage into one primary metric covering production deploys, compute, forms, bandwidth, and web requests, facilitating easier tracking and unlimited experimentation. This change reflects the growing and evolving nature of web development, particularly with the rise of AI-driven processes, and seeks to accommodate both new and experienced developers by simplifying infrastructure costs and enabling new features accessible through existing credits.
