A free workspace is required. Usage and feature rules apply to the workspace, rather than giving every project a separate monthly allowance.
Daily build credits expire at the end of the day. The current free plan also grants 20 monthly Cloud credits and four monthly credits for deployed-app AI. Cloud and AI grants are temporary; usage beyond an available grant draws on general credits.
Free workspaces receive five daily build credits, up to 30 each month. Daily grants expire that day. Monthly Cloud and AI grants refresh at the start of the calendar month; these grants are temporary and subject to change.
