HeyBoss review (2026): is the free plan enough?
AI builder for small business websites, stores and apps
Black Friday: is there a HeyBoss sale?
HeyBoss report card
Weak · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for small-business websites built from a prompt
HeyBoss builds a small-business site, store or landing page from a prompt and includes hosting. But every build and AI task spends credits, payments and a storefront wait for the $39.99 Premium plan, and the free plan stops at 2 public projects. Expect to buy credit packs if the site is more than a few pages.
Who HeyBoss is for
- Fits if you run a small shop and want the site, hosting and email in one subscription
- Works for a one-off landing page you will edit with the free text and colour tweaks
Who HeyBoss is not for
- Tight if you stay free: 70 credits a month, 2 public projects and a HeyBoss subdomain
- Pricey if you sell online, because payments and the storefront start on Premium at $39.99 a month
- Watch out: a full app is estimated at 5,000+ credits, and credit packs run $25 for 500 and expire after 12 months
- Skip it if you need an app that is more than a website, as it is web only with no listed API
- Watch out: the prices shown are for yearly billing, and monthly prices were not read
Why HeyBoss gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for moneyBasic is $23.99 a month on yearly billing, near the dearer quarter of AI app builders ($25), and the store features sit on Premium at $39.99, twice the category's middle of $20.
- CFree plan and trial70 AI credits a month and 2 public projects on a HeyBoss subdomain, with a watermark. You will use that up on one real site.
- CFeaturesBuilds sites, stores and simple apps with hosting, a CRM and email tools. But payments need Premium, workflow automation needs Platinum, and credits run down on big builds.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and it is a web app where the work is describing and building the site, so there is a learning curve.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only. The integrations on record are OpenAI and three domain companies, and no API is mentioned.

Keep HeyBoss, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace HeyBoss you would be making a tool that builds and hosts other apps. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 80 of the 89 other AI app builders grade higher. It costs $287.88 a year.
What you could not
- A tool that builds and hosts other apps.
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. HeyBoss’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.

Worth knowing
