New Plans, Credits, and On-Demand Pricing5 minutes • Magic Patterns Team
New Plans and Pricing

Today, we're introducing a new credit system, on-demand pricing, and restructured pricing plans. These changes take effect on Thursday, April 2, 2026.

For existing customers, you'll be automatically upgraded to a new plan at no additional cost on April 2nd. Your current pricing will be honored through June 30th, 2026 or until your next renewal if you're on an annual plan.



New Credit System

We're moving from a flat "one prompt, one credit" model to usage-based credits that scale with the complexity of each request. We've heard your feedback: it's not fair to be charged the same for "change this color" and "build me a full prototype with 10 pages."

If you use other AI tools, like Cursor, you've probably seen this shift already. Usage-based credits have become the standard across the industry.

We're making usage incredibly transparent. Like today, you'll continue to be able to track your credit balance and usage from the settings dashboard.

Actions that did not require credits previously are staying the same. No credits are needed for "Fix with AI," visual edits, and retries.



On-Demand Pricing

Previously, hitting your credit limit meant you had to literally switch plans. Starting April 2, any paid plan can enable On-Demand Pricing. Any usage beyond your monthly credit limit will be billed at a fixed per-credit rate — no plan upgrades required. You can additionally set up budget limits and alert thresholds to make sure you stay within your budget.

Plans Built Around Features

Every day, we're seeing more product teams replace their legacy workflows with Magic Patterns to become truly AI-native, leveraging features like Agent mode, design systems, connectors, visual editing, and more. This new credit system unlocks a lot of new capabilities.

Starting on April 2, we'll have a set of new tiers defined by features and capabilities, not credit limits.

For Existing Customers

On April 2nd, 2026, every paying subscriber will be moved to the new equivalent plan with your existing pricing honored. No action required on your end.

  • Hobby becomes Starter
  • Pro becomes Business
  • Enterprise stays on Enterprise

Monthly subscribers will keep their current price ($19 or $75) until June 30, 2026. After that, your plan moves to the standard price ($20 or $100, respectively) at your next billing cycle.

Annual subscribers keep their current price through the end of their billing cycle and renew at the new annual rate.

Of course, you can cancel or upgrade to a different plan at any time.

FAQ

What is the value of a credit in the new system?
Credits now map closer to the underlying AI inference costs — input and output tokens, just like other AI tools in our industry. In our beta and internal testing, 1 credit in the old system maps to roughly 10 credits in the new system.
When does my price change?
Monthly subscribers keep their current price ($19 or $75) until June 30, 2026. Giving you time to decide whether to stay, switch plans, or cancel. After June 30, pricing moves to the new standard at your next billing cycle. For Hobby users, that's just $1 more ($19 → $20). Annual subscribers keep their current price through the end of their billing cycle and renew at the new annual rate. You are free to cancel or change plans at any time.
I appear to be only gaining features. Is that correct?
Yes! Every feature available on your current plan will continue to be available on your new plan. You'll also gain access to new capabilities like On-Demand Pricing and budget controls.
How does On-Demand Pricing work after the transition?
On-Demand Pricing is opt-in. After April 2, you can enable it from your workspace billing settings. Any usage beyond your monthly credit allowance will be billed at a fixed per-credit rate. You can set budget limits and alert thresholds so you're always in control.
I'm on an Enterprise plan. Do I need to do anything?
There is no action required. Enterprise organizations on custom plans can always reach out to their account manager or dedicated support team. You can always schedule time here.
