Creators pay. Players don't.
Ludira charges the person creating and iterating the game, not the people helping them playtest it. Every tier — including Free — runs the same rules engine, the same real-time multiplayer sync, and the same live hot-reload rule editing. Credits only meter the AI work that costs real money to run: rules generation, planning chat, and AI-generated art.
Checkout isn't live yet. Paddle billing is still being connected, so the paid buttons below are intentionally disabled — these are the real, decided prices and credit limits, not placeholders. Paid tiers ship with the open beta.
The free plan is not a stripped-down toy version. The limits are about AI usage, not whether the actual playtest works.
Nobody who just wants to playtest your game pays or needs an account.
Same engine on every tier. Nothing crippled or watered down.
Change a rule during a live playtest and every connected player's game updates instantly.
Real-time sync for every tier, so remote playtests don't turn into spreadsheet theatre.
Start free, move up when AI iteration or generated art becomes part of the work.

Credits are Ludira's way of keeping AI use fair without a separate price tag on every button. Simple actions cost a little; heavier generation costs more. For scale: Free's 25 credits/mo covers a handful of AI rule-generations, or a longer planning-chat session to shape your game's design — plenty of room to try the workflow. Uploading and auto-cropping your own art is never metered by credits, on any tier.
On Creator and Pro, unused credits carry over month to month, up to double your plan's monthly amount banked at once. That lets you bank up before a big push, but it doesn't turn into an endless stockpile. Free credits don't roll over — they just reset each month.
These are the decided monthly prices and credit limits for Ludira. Self-serve checkout is deliberately not linked here until Paddle billing is ready — a fake payment button would be a strange way to start a relationship.
No urgency, no countdown, no fake payment link.
A credit is a small unit that meters AI work inside Ludira. Rules generation, planning chat, and AI art each cost a different number of credits, because they cost different amounts to actually run.
Everything else keeps working — playtests, multiplayer sync, live rule editing, and uploaded art all stay available. AI actions wait until your credits reset next month or you move to a tier with more of them.
On Creator and Pro, yes — up to double your plan's monthly amount banked at once. Free credits don't roll over; they simply reset every month.
That's the plan: monthly billing, no long-term contract, cancel and you won't be charged again. Monthly only for now — there's no annual plan. (This describes how billing will work once checkout goes live; nothing charges you today.)
Yes. Free includes the full rules engine, multiplayer sessions, live hot-reload editing, and free uploaded-art auto-crop up to its soft cap. It just doesn't include AI-generated art — that's the one thing too costly to give away.
No. Players joining and playing a game are always free, and they don't need an account just to help you playtest.
Yes. Uploading your own art and having Ludira auto-crop and recognize it is free on every tier — unmetered on Creator and Pro, soft-capped at 50/mo on Free.
