30-day free trial with every feature included. No credit card, no email, no signup - pick the path that fits you and go.
Go from zero to a live site entirely in the browser - no local environment needed. Deploy the starter to Vercel with one click, then the built-in setup wizard walks you through the rest: name your site, connect your database, create your login. You will be signed in and building the same afternoon.
Prefer to start on your machine? Scaffold the full project with one CLI command, or clone the starter and let the same setup wizard guide you locally. Ready for pnpm dev now and any Next.js host later.
Click the deploy button for your database - SQLite or Postgres. Vercel copies the starter to your own GitHub account and puts it online. No settings needed yet.
Open your new site; it takes you straight to /setup. Name your site, connect your database (free to create - the wizard links you there and tells you what to copy), create your admin login, and optionally configure media storage and AI.
The wizard prepares your database and hands you a ready-to-paste block of environment variables. Add them to Vercel's settings and redeploy once. They are secrets - your database credentials and your site's app key - which is why they live in your host's settings, not in code.
DATABASE_URL=your-database-credentials
Open /admin, sign in with the login you just created, and start building. The 30-day trial is already running.
$ npx chaibuilder-app create
pnpm run dev, sign in with the admin account you just created, and the builder is live on your machine.
It is a standard Next.js app; deploy to Vercel, Cloudflare, or your own Node server. The 30-day trial starts when you deploy.
Setting expectations immediately, because the mechanic is unusual for a website builder.
A fully functional 30-day trial of the complete chaipro package. Every feature unlocked, no feature flags, no gated panels.
The starter (Next.js + Payload) is publicly available. You don't register, create an account, or hand over an email to get it.
Not on a button click. Clone the repo, deploy it to your server, and start building. The clock begins the moment your deployment goes live.
Drop a per-year license key into your ENV to keep going. Nothing you built is locked away or hosted by us. Your work stays yours.
The Visual Website Builder
You Actually Own. React + Next.js, low-code, self-hosted. Your data, your infrastructure, every feature included.

Run npx chaibuilder-app create and the CLI scaffolds a Next.js + Payload CMS project with chaipro set up, walking you through configuration - it can even create a local SQLite database so there is nothing to provision. Or clone the starter, run it, and the same /setup wizard from the one-click path guides you in the browser.
