TL;DR
- Freebuff Web is a free alternative to Same.new — prompt to deployed full-stack app.
- Same.new typical paid tier: $50/mo (Max). Freebuff Web is $0.
- Auth, database, file storage, hosting, and a paired CLI are included.
- You own the code — eject to GitHub any time.
Same.new generates full-stack web apps from prompts with remix/download flows on paid plans. Freebuff Web does the same job without a subscription or credit meter.
What Same.new costs in 2026#
Same.new tiers: Free (500k tokens), Basic $10/mo, Pro $25/mo, Max $50/mo, Ultra $100/mo. Ultra adds pay-as-you-go beyond 20M tokens at $10 per 2M (per Same.new pricing docs). Most builders who iterate daily land on a paid tier quickly once the free allowance runs out.
