Pricing

Plans that read as who you are.

Start free and grow into it. Each plan contains the one below it, so upgrading only ever adds — it never makes you relearn the tool. Annual billing saves roughly two months.

Questions

Good to know.

Is there an iOS app?

It's in active development — a phone-first daily driver for logging stages and firings from the studio floor. Claybench is fully usable on the web (including mobile browsers) today; when the iOS app ships it won't be gated behind a separate charge. We'll email you when it's ready for testing.

Can I export my data?

Always. Full export in JSON and CSV, any time. You should never lose your work to a tool you're leaving.

Where do you operate?

Launching in the US and the rest of the English-speaking world (UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand). The EU and beyond follow.

What does the free tier really get me?

A genuinely useful product — the full reference library, basic piece tracking, and a handful of AI plans per cycle. Enough to plan a small batch end to end.

How is this different from a website builder?

A website builder gives you pages. Claybench runs the studio behind them: planning, firing, tracking, and a store that lists itself from your production data.

Do annual plans save money?

Roughly two months free versus paying monthly — and you can switch billing any time.
