Question 1

How much does Flockbay cost?

Accepted Answer

Flockbay is free, and its hosted AI is free to start: every account starts with free usage on it. You can also build on your Claude plan (Pro or Max) or your ChatGPT account (any plan, Free included) in the app, your own agent over MCP, or your own API key, and you pay the company that runs your model, never Flockbay. Optional plans add more hosted AI and the tools to launch a game: Hobby at $20 a month, Indie Developer at $60 and Studio at $200 a month. Past a plan's monthly usage, on-demand usage keeps building, billed as you go up to a limit you set.

Question 2

Is Flockbay free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Plans add more hosted AI. The app, the Godot editor, Flockbay's tools and Play cost nothing, the hosted AI is free to start, and building on your own Claude, ChatGPT, agent or API key is free. Hobby ($20 a month), Indie Developer ($60) and Studio ($200) add hosted usage, the hosted models of their tier, pictures and sound from that usage, and the tools to launch a game: Video studio, Social posts, playtest links, Steam page drafting and website publishing, with Ads from the Indie Developer plan up.

Question 3

What the AI does

Accepted Answer

Flockbay's AI, on its free hosted model or your Claude or ChatGPT in the chat, or your own agent over MCP, writes GDScript and scenes into your Godot project. It places props, builds rigged 3D models with the modeler, finds Godot plugins for you to install, and playtests the game: a headless run, stdout and parse errors, viewport capture, input events and the live scene tree. You judge the result by playing it.

Question 4

Platform

Accepted Answer

Windows, macOS and Linux: the current release runs on 64-bit Windows with an Intel or AMD processor, on Macs with Apple Silicon, and as an x86_64 Linux AppImage. There is no web version, no browser editor, no browser preview, and no mobile app.

Question 5

Who writes the code

Accepted Answer

Your AI does, and you can: it writes the GDScript into a real Godot 4 project, and Flockbay hosts the full Godot editor, Script editor included, beside the chat. You can open, read and change every file there, in stock Godot or in your own code editor.

Question 6

Where the game runs

Accepted Answer

Output is a normal Godot project in a normal folder on local disk. Games run locally on the copy of Godot bundled with the app. No streaming, no cloud rendering, no cloud building.

Question 7

Pricing

Accepted Answer

Free, AI included. Every account starts with free usage on Flockbay's hosted AI. Or build on your own AI: your Claude plan (Pro or Max) or your ChatGPT account (any plan, Free included) in the app, your own agent over MCP, or your own API key (OpenAI or Anthropic), and you pay the company that runs your model, never Flockbay. Optional plans add more hosted AI: Hobby at $20, Indie Developer at $60 and Studio at $200 a month. There is no team, per-seat, or enterprise plan. Projects and assets are private.

Question 8

AI models

Accepted Answer

Free AI runs on Flockbay's hosted model, which Flockbay picks and the model menu names. On your Claude plan, Flockbay runs Claude Code, and the model menu lists the models and effort levels Claude Code gives you. On your ChatGPT plan, it runs your account's models through the bundled Codex engine. On an API key, it runs any model the key reaches, and an agent over MCP uses whatever model that agent runs.

Question 9

What happens when a plan's usage runs out?

Accepted Answer

Turn on on-demand usage on Billing and Flockbay keeps building on your plan's models. Extra usage is charged at the on-demand rate shown on Billing, after you use it: at about $20 the first time, then each time it reaches about $50, and on the 1st of the month for the rest. You set a monthly limit. At the limit, or with on-demand off, the plan's hosted AI stops until the month renews. Building on your own AI is never affected. If a charge fails, on-demand usage pauses until it's paid; after 14 days unpaid, the plan pauses too. Or upgrade your plan, or wait for it to renew.

Question 10

Who pays for ads?

Accepted Answer

You do. Meta, Google, TikTok or Reddit bills the ad spend to your own ad account, and Flockbay charges no fee on it. Flockbay drafts each campaign in the app, and nothing spends until you press Launch. Ads is a paid feature, available on the Indie Developer plan and above.

Question 11

Is a website for my game free?

Accepted Answer

Building it is. Flockbay, or your own Claude, ChatGPT or agent, builds your game's website in the app from the game's own material; you preview it at desktop and phone widths and can export it as a .zip that runs on any static host. Publishing it on flockbay.app or your own domain is a paid feature, with email signups you export as CSV and views and Steam clicks counted without cookies.

Question 12

What happens when the free usage runs out?

Accepted Answer

Flockbay's hosted AI stops until the free usage resets, every day at 00:00 UTC, and nothing is charged. There are three ways on: wait for the reset; upgrade to a plan, from Hobby up, for usage every month; or keep building on your own Claude or ChatGPT, your own agent over MCP or your own API key, which is free with no Flockbay limit. Images and sound generated on Flockbay's keys still come from the free usage or a plan. Your project stays as it is in its folder whichever you pick.

Question 13

Which plan should I pick?

Accepted Answer

Pick by whose AI you build with and how close the game is to launch. On your own Claude, ChatGPT or agent, Free covers building; Hobby adds a first go at every launch tool (Steam page drafting, devlogs and Shorts, social posts, a website and playtest links), and Indie Developer adds what a launch needs: trailers and ad cuts, Ads, scheduled posts and more of each. Building on Flockbay's hosted AI every day, Hobby keeps a side project going, and Indie Developer gives 3× Hobby's usage and stronger models. A studio, or a big game with several people posting and testing, fits Studio: 10× Hobby's usage, the most capable models, and the most accounts, sites and playtest links.

Question 14

Where does my project go?

Accepted Answer

Nowhere you do not send it. Your game is a folder on your machine, uploaded only to your own GitHub or as a playtest build you share. [Security: what leaves your machine](/security/) says what else does, and where.
