Changelog

New

• New Credit System - We've redesigned how AI credits work. Choose from flexible credit tiers: 100, 200, 400, 800, 1,200, or 2,000 credits per month. Pick the plan that fits your usage.
• Credits Roll Over - Unused credits now roll over to the next month. No more "use it or lose it" pressure. Monthly plans roll over for 1 month, annual plans keep rolling until your subscription renews.
• Upgrade or Downgrade Anytime - Change your credit tier whenever you want. Upgrading? You get extra credits immediately. Downgrading? Keep all your existing credits.
• Top-Up Credits - Need more credits mid-month? Buy additional credits starting at $15. Top-up credits are valid for 12 months.

Improvements

• Clearer Credit Display - See exactly how many credits you have and where they come from: subscription credits, rollover credits, and purchased credits.
• Better Billing Portal - Switch between credit tiers directly from your billing settings. No need to cancel and resubscribe.

For Existing Subscribers

If you're already a Pro subscriber, nothing changes for you. Your subscription continues at the same price with the same benefits. You can switch to a new credit tier anytime if you'd like.

New

• Free Unlimited Coding - We've completely removed the 8-line code limit! Code as much as you want, experiment freely, build anything. No restrictions, no timers, no paywalls blocking your creativity.

Why the change?

We believe in encouraging you to use the editor, not restricting it. We're removing friction from the coding experience. Write unlimited code for free, and upgrade when you need AI assistance, private projects, or more than 3 saved projects.

New

• Gemini 3 Flash is Now the Default AI Model - Google's latest Gemini 3 Flash delivers great results at a fraction of the cost. Build entire pages for just $0.05-$0.10 per task. Fast, cheap, and with a massive 1M token context window for complex projects.
• New Recommended Model - Gemini 3 Flash now appears in the recommended models section, right after Claude Opus 4.5. Perfect balance of speed, quality, and cost.

Fixes

• Usage History Now Shows Accurate Costs - Fixed an issue where the "Total spent" in Usage History showed lower amounts than what was actually deducted from your balance. The numbers now match exactly what you paid.

Improvements

• Simpler AI Model Selection - No more confusion with 10+ models. We now show 5 recommended models at the top with plain-English descriptions like "Balanced quality and price" or "Best UI/UX design quality".
• New Default: Claude Sonnet 4.5 - The best balance of quality and cost. Creates beautiful designs without burning through credits too fast.
• Power Users: Other Models - Need something specific? Click "Other models" to access Grok, Gemini, and GPT variants. Collapsed by default to reduce clutter.

Improvements

• Import from AI - Redesigned - The "Import from AI" popover now clearly explains what it's for: importing code from ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, or any AI assistant. Each step has a help tooltip explaining exactly what to do.
• 90%+ Success Rate - Smart content detection now works almost perfectly. Paste any code and Playcode figures out if it's HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, C, C++, Go, or SQL and puts it in the right file automatically.

Improvements

• AI Now Understands All Languages - The built-in AI assistant now fully understands Python, C, C++, Go, and SQL projects. It knows how each language works in Playcode, including entry points, package management, and execution modes.
• Import from AI - Multi-Language - The Import from AI feature now detects Python, C, C++, Go, and SQL code automatically. Paste code from ChatGPT or Claude and it goes to the right file (main.py, main.c, main.cpp, main.go, or main.sql).
• Smarter Code Detection - Improved detection patterns for all supported languages. Python imports, C/C++ includes, Go packages, and SQL queries are now recognized instantly.

New

• Import from AI - New button in the header to easily import code from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI assistant. Just copy the AI's response and paste it directly. Playcode automatically detects whether it's HTML, JavaScript, or CSS and puts it in the right file. No more manually creating files or figuring out where code should go.

Improvements

• Smart Content Detection - When you paste code, Playcode now intelligently detects the content type. HTML goes to index.html, JavaScript to your main script file, and CSS to your stylesheet. Works perfectly with code copied from ChatGPT Canvas.
• One-Click Undo - Made a mistake? The Import panel includes Undo/Redo buttons so you can quickly revert any changes without leaving the workflow.

Fixes

• Assets Lost When Deleting Cloned Projects - Fixed a critical bug where images and other files would disappear from your original project after deleting a cloned copy. The issue occurred because cloned projects were sharing file references with the original instead of creating independent copies. Now when you clone a project or create a new version, all assets are properly duplicated to separate storage locations, ensuring each project's files are completely independent.
• Version Creation Reliability - Fixed an issue where creating a new project version could fail with a timeout error. The version creation process has been redesigned to work reliably without interrupting your current editing session.

Fixes

• Missing Projects After Update - Fixed a critical bug where some users couldn't see their projects after app updates. The issue occurred when internal data structures changed, causing the app to read from empty storage instead of existing data. Projects are now automatically recovered from the server when this situation is detected. No more need to log out and back in.
