Is there a free trial?

Yes. The first build starts a free 8-day Pro trial with 300 credits; a card is required but nothing is charged if cancelled before it ends.

Is Founden a website builder?

No. It builds the product customers use, the site that sells it and the back office, and can keep developing it after launch.

What happens when credits run out?

Building pauses until credits refill, though Pro and higher plans can opt into overage billed per credit for cloud credits.

What does the user own?

The domain is registered in the user's name, payments go to their own bank, their own keys are used, and desktop builds keep full source on their computer.

About Founden

Founden is an AI platform that builds and runs software companies from a plain-English description. A user describes the first version, and Founden builds the product, a customer-facing app, a website and a back office, then puts it live at its own web address. Each build comes wired with a domain, email from that domain, sign-in, a Postgres database, payments and subscriptions, cookie-free analytics, scheduled automations, a blog and newsletter, contracts and invoices, and browser automation that can create the company's online accounts.

With Autopilot switched on, the AI keeps developing the software after launch. Examples on the site include starting newsletters, adding paid plans that settle to the owner's bank, and building partner or wholesale portals. Changes can also be requested in plain language. Users can pick from 313 models by 57 labs, and a Mac desktop app runs the engine locally on an existing Claude, ChatGPT or Google AI plan, keeping full source code on disk.

Founden says it is aimed at people who have never built anything online, and reports 1,020 companies built on the platform.
