Frequently asked
Questions people ask before they build.
Everything about credits, plans, billing, and building with RudraCoder — from your first prompt to the moment you ship.

Getting started
- Fullstack web apps, mobile apps, and landing pages — described in plain words and generated as real, working projects.
- Built on battle-tested stacks: React, Next.js, Node.js, Express, and PostgreSQL, with modern tooling wired up for you.
- Great for portfolios, marketing sites, dashboards, internal tools, e-commerce storefronts, and simple mobile-friendly apps.
- The AI agent writes real code — not mockups — so what you see in the preview is what you can export, deploy, and ship.
- Credits are your monthly budget for building and editing projects with the AI agent.
- On the Free (Budder) plan you get 50 Credits every month to generate and edit fullstack & mobile projects.
- On paid plans (Sapling) you get 250 Credits, and unused credits roll over month to month.
- You can always see your live balance in the top bar next to your plan name.
- No. Describe what you want in plain language and RudraCoder handles the rest — pages, layout, styling, and basic logic.
- If you do know how to code, you can drop into the underlying files any time and edit them directly.
- Either way, the AI respects your changes and won't overwrite manual edits in later prompts.
- A first draft usually appears in under a minute, depending on how much you're asking for.
- More detailed prompts — with pages, features, and tone spelled out — take a little longer but save you rounds of editing later.
- You can keep refining in chat and every version is saved, so nothing is ever lost.
Building
- Yes. Every build ships clean, organized code with a proper folder structure and separation of concerns.
- Environment configuration (.env), dependency manifests, and basic documentation are included out of the box.
- The output is a standard codebase — no proprietary lock-in — so you can export it as a ZIP and deploy it anywhere.
- You can open the code editor inside RudraCoder at any time to inspect, tweak, or extend anything by hand.
- Yes — that's most of the workflow. Ask for changes in chat ("make the header darker," "add a pricing section") and the agent does it.
- Or use the visual editor: click directly on any element to adjust spacing, color, typography, and text yourself.
- Every edit is tracked, and you can roll back to any previous version if a change goes the wrong direction.
- Yes. Upload a logo, reference screenshots, or a color palette and RudraCoder builds around them instead of picking its own defaults.
- You can lock specific colors and fonts so future edits and regenerations respect them.
- This works across projects — once a brand is saved, you can apply it to any new build.
- Ultra plan customers can request enterprise custom models and API configurations.
- Bring your own keys and endpoints to run the builder on your preferred models.
- Reach out to our engineering team at support@rudracoder.com to get set up.
- Tell RudraCoder what's off and it regenerates just that part rather than starting over.
- Every version is saved automatically, so you can always roll back if a change goes the wrong direction.
- Small fixes are usually a single prompt away — no need to rebuild from scratch.
Editing & Design
- Absolutely. Iterate in chat ("make the hero shorter," "use a warmer palette") and the AI applies it instantly.
- In the visual editor, click any element to fine-tune spacing, colors, and text pixel by pixel.
- There's no separate "design mode" — everything stays in one workspace.
- You can upload existing assets — logos, images, and reference screenshots — and RudraCoder will incorporate them.
- For an existing codebase, export and re-import works best as a starting point that you can then iterate on.
- If you're unsure about the best path, support@rudracoder.com can walk you through it.
Publishing & Exporting
- Open any saved project and hit the Export button in the header.
- Your full project is downloaded as a ZIP file containing all source code, configs, and documentation.
- Unzip it, open it in your favorite editor, and run it locally or deploy it to any hosting provider.
- Sapling and higher plans include unlimited code downloads.
- Yes. Sapling and higher plans let you host on your own custom domain.
- Sapling includes 50 hostings, and Custom plans let you set your own hosting quota.
- Deployment is handled in a couple of clicks from the project screen.
- Every layout RudraCoder generates is responsive by default.
- Preview any screen size — from mobile to desktop — before publishing to check how it looks.
- For mobile apps you can export APK and AAB downloads (2 on the Free plan, unlimited on Sapling).
- Yes — mobile builds can be exported as installable APK and AAB files.
- The Free plan includes 2 APK and 2 AAB downloads; Sapling and higher give you unlimited downloads.
- These are generated from your project and ready to sideload or publish to app stores.
Plans & Billing
- Budder (Free forever): 50 credits/month, watermark, 2 APK + 2 AAB downloads, 2 hostings, and limited access to Luna.
- Sapling (₹699/month): 250 credits, more Luna credits, no watermark, 50 hostings, unlimited code/APK/AAB downloads, and hosting on your custom domain.
- Custom: everything in Sapling with the quota of everything — credits, hostings, downloads — customized to your needs, plus dedicated support.
- See the Pricing page for the full comparison.
- On paid plans, credits never expire — anything you don't use carries over month to month.
- On the Free plan, unused credits expire at the end of the month.
- There's no reason to hoard credits on Sapling: they accumulate as long as you're subscribed.
- Yes. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings.
- There are no lock-in contracts — your plan simply changes at the end of the current billing cycle.

- Yes — reach out to support@rudracoder.com with your account details and order reference.
- Refunds for recent upgrades are handled on a case-by-case basis, usually within a few business days.

Credits & Tokens
- Upgrade from Budder to Sapling to move from 50 to 250 credits per month.
- On a Custom plan you can set the exact credit amount you want to purchase.
- Paid-plan credits roll over, so your balance only grows over time.
- Your live balance is always visible in the top bar next to the coin icon.
- It updates in real time as the AI agent consumes tokens during a build.
- If a build ever runs out of credits, your project stays saved and you can continue as soon as you top up.
- Bigger prompts, more pages, and heavier features consume more credits in a single build.
- Generating brand-new projects costs more than editing an existing one.
- Editing existing projects is usually cheaper than generating new ones from scratch.
