Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.6
GPA, above 15 of the 26 other AI app builders we grade
Hostinger AI Builder creates websites and web apps from a description, and combines Hostinger's earlier website builder and Horizons into one product with two modes. Manual mode is a drag-and-drop editor for stores, portfolios and business sites, while Agentic mode builds through chat and suits web apps with databases and user accounts. It is sold as part of Hostinger's hosting plans, so hosting, a domain and email come with it, and Agentic mode is metered in AI credits.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Hostinger AI Builder, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You can drag and drop in Manual mode, or chat your way to an app with a database and logins in Agentic mode.
- 1
Best for a site with hosting, domain and email on one bill
Hostinger AI Builder puts a site or web app, hosting, email and a domain for the first year on one bill.
- 2
Paid plans start at $10.99 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $10.99 per month at renewal; first 48-month term $2.99 per month, paid upfront.
- 3
You can try it first
Free to try with no card: 5 one-time AI credits for Agentic mode. Paid plans have a 30-day money-back guarantee.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
Manual and Agentic modes
Manual mode starts from an AI-generated site and is edited by drag-and-drop without using credits. Agentic mode builds and changes a project through chat.
- 6
Built-in back end
Agentic projects can add databases, user accounts and file storage without separate services, with data kept on Hostinger's servers.
- 7
Hosting, domain and email included
Every plan includes hosting and mailboxes, and a custom domain is free for the first year. Publishing deploys the site or app to a live URL in one click.
- 8
A 2.6 GPA, above 15 of 26
That is against the other AI app builders we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Hostinger AI Builder 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.

The report card
Best for a site with hosting, domain and email on one bill
Hostinger AI Builder puts a site or web app, hosting, email and a domain for the first year on one bill. You can drag and drop in Manual mode, or chat your way to an app with a database and logins in Agentic mode. But the $2.99 a month is 48 months paid upfront, renewal is $10.99, the plan brings 5 AI credits once, and if it lapses your project and its data are deleted.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Premium renews at $10.99 a month, inside the cheapest quarter of what builders here charge, and that buys hosting, mailboxes and a domain free for a year as well as the builder. The first 48-month term works out at $2.99 a month but is paid upfront, $143.52 in one go. The AI is the thin part: 5 credits, once. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, but you can try Agentic mode with no card at all: 5 one-time AI credits. After that it's a paid plan, with 30 days' money back as the safety net rather than a trial. |
| Features | C | Two ways to build: drag and drop in Manual mode for no credits, or chat in Agentic mode, where projects get databases, user accounts and file storage, plus Stripe and a code editor. But the listing names two gaps: web apps only, nothing native, and if the plan lapses the project goes offline and its data is deleted. |
| Ease of use | B | No rating on record. You describe what you want, or take the AI-made site and drag things about, then publish in one click with hosting and the domain in place. The credit meter on Agentic mode is the one thing to keep an eye on. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | A web app with nothing on desktop or phone, and what it builds is a responsive web app rather than anything native for the App Store or Google Play. It connects to Stripe, PayPal, Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Hotjar. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Hostinger AI Builder is for
- Fits if a small business wants a site, hosting, domain and email on one bill
- Works for people who already host with Hostinger, as its hosting plans include AI Builder
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you hate paying upfront, since the headline rate means 48 months in one go, $143.52
- Watch out: after the first term Premium renews at $10.99 a month, against $2.99 in the first 48 months
- Tight if you plan to build by chat, with 5 or 15 AI credits as a one-time gift, and top-ups cost extra and expire after 3 months
- Not for you if you need a native phone app, because it builds responsive web apps only
- Watch out: if the hosting plan expires and isn't renewed, the project goes offline and its data is permanently deleted
Good to know
Good for
- Small businesses that want a site, hosting, domain and email on one bill
- Non-developers building booking pages, stores or simple web apps
- Existing Hostinger hosting customers, whose plans already include AI Builder
Worth knowing
- Plans are paid upfront; the advertised monthly rate assumes a 48-month term and rises at renewal.
- The AI credits bundled with a plan are a one-time gift of 5 or 15; top-ups cost extra and expire after 3 months.
- It builds responsive web apps only, not native mobile apps for the App Store or Google Play.
- If the hosting plan expires and is not renewed, the project goes offline and its data is permanently deleted.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Hostinger AI Builder 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.
It costs $131.88 a year.
What you could not
- A tool that builds and hosts other apps.
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- It plugs into other products, Stripe, PayPal and Google AdSense among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Hostinger AI Builder’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.
