What the free tier includes
The free tier is designed for testing Marcus and building a single proof-of-concept. You get one project, which can contain up to 5 pages. The project lives on a Marcus subdomain — something like yourproject.aimarcus.love. You can request up to 20 AI-powered revisions per month, meaning you can iterate on design, copy, and structure without hitting a paywall immediately.
There's no credit card requirement to start. You sign up, describe your project, and Marcus generates the first version. From there, you chat with the AI to refine pages, adjust layouts, or add content. The free tier is genuinely free, not a trial that expires after 14 days.
What you can't do on the free tier
You can't connect a custom domain. The site stays on the Marcus subdomain. You also can't create more than one project — if you need multiple sites, you'll need a paid plan. The 5-page limit is strict; if your project needs six pages, you'll have to upgrade or consolidate content.
The 20-revision monthly cap means you can't endlessly iterate. If you burn through those revisions in the first week, you'll wait until the next calendar month to continue. Exports as a ZIP file aren't available on the free tier either — that feature is reserved for Builder and Studio plans.
Who the free tier is for
The free tier works well for freelancers testing Marcus before committing to a paid plan, founders building a landing page to validate an idea, or anyone who needs a simple 5-page site and doesn't care about a custom domain. If you're launching a portfolio, a single-product marketing site, or a proof-of-concept, the free tier covers it.
It's not meant for agencies managing client work or anyone shipping multiple projects. It's also limiting if you need rapid iteration — 20 revisions sounds like a lot, but if you're experimenting with different messaging or design directions, you can hit that ceiling quickly.
Upgrading to Builder or Studio
If you outgrow the free tier, the Builder plan costs €29 per project per month. It unlocks custom domains, unlimited pages within a single project, and the ability to export your site as a ZIP file. Revisions are unlimited on Builder — you can iterate as much as you need without waiting for a monthly reset.
The Studio plan is €290 per month and covers up to 25 projects. It's built for agencies, freelancers with multiple clients, or anyone managing a portfolio of sites. Studio includes everything in Builder, plus priority support and the capacity to run many projects under one subscription.
How hosting works on the free tier
Your project is hosted on Marcus infrastructure in the EU. You don't manage servers, CDN configuration, or SSL certificates — Marcus handles that. The subdomain is HTTPS by default. Performance is the same as paid plans; the only difference is the domain name.
If you later upgrade to Builder and connect a custom domain, your existing subdomain continues to work. Marcus doesn't break old links or delete your subdomain when you add a domain. You can redirect traffic manually if you prefer, or leave both active.
Why no credit card is required
Marcus doesn't ask for a credit card on the free tier because the plan is meant to remove friction. If you need to test the tool, you shouldn't have to worry about forgetting to cancel a trial or dealing with surprise charges. The free tier is a long-term option, not a trial disguised as a free tier.
This also means you won't get upsell emails pretending your trial is expiring. If you decide to upgrade, you add a card at that point. If you never upgrade, your free project stays live as long as you want it.
Limitations and tradeoffs
The free tier is constrained deliberately. It's meant for one small project, not a substitute for a paid plan. If you need more pages, more revisions, or more projects, Marcus expects you to pay. The 5-page and 20-revision caps ensure the free tier doesn't compete with Builder.
That said, the limits are transparent. You know exactly what you get, and there's no sudden feature removal or forced migration. If your needs fit within one project and five pages, the free tier works indefinitely.
