# Rosebud AI review (2026): is the free plan enough? > Browser-based AI game maker with hosting and code export Checked Nov 13, 2026 ยท graded Nov 13, 2026 by ToolGPA. Rosebud AI is a browser-based platform where an AI assistant named Rosie builds a playable 2D or 3D game from a plain-language description, including code, art and sound. Games are published as links that run in a browser, and higher plans add private projects, commercial rights and code download. Everything runs on one credit system shared across plans. - **Category:** AI App Builders - **Made by:** Rosebud AI (since 2019) - **Website:** https://rosebud.ai - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want to sell what you make on the cheap, as commercial rights start at $30 a month. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing As of Nov 13, 2026, Rosebud AI has a free plan, and paid plans start at $15 per month; billing basis not shown. - **Pricing model:** Free plan - **Free plan:** 10,000 credits per week, hosted games, remixing and basic asset generation. The page says credits refill weekly in eligible regions. - **Free trial:** None listed. | Plan | Price | What you get | | --- | --- | --- | | Free | $0 | 10,000 credits per week in eligible regions, fully hosted, remix and basic asset generation with project limits. | | Indie Dev | $15 per month; billing basis not shown | 100,000 credits a month plus 10,000 daily refresh credits, private projects and a code tab in the browser (desktop). | | 10x Dev | $30 per month; billing basis not shown | 300,000 credits a month, full commercial rights and no Rosebud branding on hosted pages. | | Pro | $50 per month; billing basis not shown | 1,000,000 credits a month, downloadable project code and Windows export for Steam. | | Scale | $100 per month; billing basis not shown | 2,000,000 credits a month, auto-scaling hosting and top-tier asset generation. | Read from https://rosebud.ai/pricing on Nov 13, 2026. Prices change, so confirm with Rosebud AI before buying. ## Key features - **Game from a description:** Rosie asks a few questions, then builds a first playable version with code, art and music. - **Asset generation:** Generates images, sprite animations, sounds, 3D models and 360-degree skyboxes, each using credits. - **Browser hosting and sharing:** Games publish as links that play in a browser, and can be posted to X or taken to Steam through a Windows export. - **Code access:** Indie Dev and higher can view and edit code in the browser; Pro and higher can download the project code. - **Coding agent publishing:** The homepage says games can be published from Claude Code, Codex or Cursor in one command. ## Good for - Making browser games without coding - Developers who want to publish AI-assisted prototypes quickly ## Worth knowing - Commercial rights and removal of Rosebud branding start at the 10x Dev plan. - Code download and Windows export need Pro; the code tab on Indie Dev is desktop only. - Unused monthly credits roll over once and then expire; daily and weekly credits do not stack. - A single edit costs roughly 2,000 credits with the default model and about 20,000 with a premium model, so allowances go faster with premium models. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Rosebud AI makes games in the browser from a description, with generated assets, hosting and a code tab. But a single edit costs about 2,000 credits, commercial rights start at $30 a month, and downloading the code needs the $50 Pro plan. - **Value for money: C.** Indie Dev is $15 a month, but commercial rights and no Rosebud branding start at 10x Dev at $30, and code download at $50. The billing basis is not shown. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A free plan with 10,000 credits a week in eligible regions. At about 2,000 credits per edit, that is a handful of edits. - **Features: C.** Description to game, asset generation, hosting and a code tab. It makes games only, a narrower job than most of the category. - **Ease of use: C.** A web app where you describe the game and iterate. No store rating is on record. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only. Windows export for Steam is on Pro, with 5 integrations listed. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/ai-app-builders ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Rosebud AI 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: 67 of the 89 other AI app builders grade higher. It costs $180 a year. - You could not: A tool that builds and hosts other apps. - You could not: A builder that other people can use without writing code. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Steam, X and Claude Code among them. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## Works with Steam, X, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor **Tags:** AI features, App builder, No-code ## Alternatives - [Replit](https://toolgpa.com/tools/replit): Cloud platform where an AI agent builds, hosts and publishes apps.
