Velork's public launch landed today — and its free tier starts you with 2,000 AI credits. 🦎
Velork is a new IDE for frontend teams: design with AI on a canvas, right next to your code, and ship in the stack you already use. It plugs into the AI you already pay for — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot — or your own API key.
The free Hobby plan ($0) includes 2,000 Velork AI credits to start — about $2 of model usage, per the Plans doc — plus 10 AI images a month, an hour of cloud computer a month, and 30 GB-hours of deployed apps a month. Design, code, agents, Figma pastes, exports — no counters on those; only the AI credits are capped.
Two honest limits. First, the 2,000 is a one-time grant, not a monthly refill — the Plans doc says it doesn't renew. Once it's spent you keep going on your own key, or move to Pro ($10/month billed yearly, $12 month-to-month). Second, today is the public launch — the founder's own words on Show HN: "Today I'm launching Velork!" It was waitlist-only alpha until now, so the free tier is new even if the product isn't. The Hobby plan is listed as free, but new free tiers can change: don't build anything that depends on it staying free.
Bottom line: free to start, 2,000 credits included. If you build frontends with AI, it's worth a look.

Heads up. The 2,000 credits are a one-time grant and do not renew. After they run out you connect your own AI provider or upgrade. The public pricing page also lists 10 AI images a month, 1 hour of cloud computer and 30 GB-hours of deployed apps on Hobby. The plans doc lists different credit amounts for Pro and Team than the pricing page, so those paid-plan figures are not included here.
