Side-by-side comparison
Blink needs Pro ($300 a year up front, or $50 a month) to take real payments, and bills hosting in credits. DoAny sells on its $0 Free plan, and hosting uses no credits.

The facts side by side
On paper the two price ladders look alike: a free plan with 5 credits a day up to 30 a month, and a $25 plan with 100 monthly credits plus 5 a day. The difference is what else those credits pay for and which plan can sell.

| Topic | DoAny | Blink |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | A web app with customer accounts, a database, file uploads, backend functions and Stripe checkout, hosted by DoAny. Annie, one AI agent, researches, builds and keeps working on the company. | Web apps, websites and native mobile apps, each with a database, sign-in and a live address (plan table). Always-on agents are sold separately, per agent (Blink Claw). |
| Free plan | $0 with no card: unlimited companies sharing 5 credits a day, up to 30 a month. Live on yourname.doany.site with HTTPS, and it can take real card payments (DoAny pricing). | $0 with no card: 5 credits a day. Projects are public; the preview link is “Hidden from search engines” (hosting page). No production hosting, domain or live payments (pricing). |
| Paid plans | Pro from $25/mo for 100 monthly credits plus 5 daily credits, up to $2,250/mo for 10,000 credits. Monthly billing only (DoAny pricing). | Starter $25/mo or $150/yr; Pro $50/mo or $300/yr; Max from $200/mo or $1,200/yr. Yearly is “Save 50%”, paid up front (pricing). |
| What credits pay for | AI work: Annie researching, building, writing and making images, plus AI features your customers use. Only successful calls are charged, and hosting uses none. | AI work, plus production hosting, custom domains and code downloads (5 credits on Starter and Pro) (pricing); backend requests past 100,000 a month cost 1 credit per 10,000 (Backend docs). |
| Hosting | Included on every plan and not metered (DoAny pricing FAQ). At zero credits the site stays live; only AI work pauses. | Starter and up. Billed per product in credits, up front, every 30 days: 50 a month for 10,000 visits, up to 500 for 1,000,000 (hosting docs). |
| Taking real payments | Every plan, Free included, once you press Go live and finish Stripe’s verification. | “Taking real payments needs Pro ($50 a month)”, because checkout and webhooks run on Blink Backend (payments page). |
| Testing payments | The editor preview takes Stripe test cards before you give Stripe any details (payments guide). | Live Stripe keys only; test keys are rejected. You test with a 100%-off code on your own card (Stripe docs). |
| Fee on your sales | 0%. DoAny’s standard Terms rule out a revenue share (DoAny Terms). Stripe’s processing fees apply on both. | 0%. Blink “adds no fee on your sales”; money goes to your own Stripe account (Blink payments FAQ). |
| Your own domain | On Pro: connect a domain you own; DoAny shows the DNS records, verifies them and issues HTTPS. DoAny doesn’t sell domains. | Starter and up: 5 credits once on Starter and Pro, included on Max. You can also buy a domain inside Blink, and it renews automatically (domains docs). |
| Native mobile apps | No. Responsive web apps that customers can add to their home screen. | iOS and Android apps on any plan. Builds go to TestFlight or download for Google Play on Max (store publishing docs). |
| Work after launch | Annie posts every day, finds customers and follows up, runs your CRM and answers customers around the clock (DoAny homepage); new recurring jobs start only after you approve them. | An SEO and AI-search audit whose fixes the agent applies, on Starter and up (changelog). Paid outreach, social and research agents, from 180 credits a month each (agents). |
| Leaving | Export your code and data and walk away anytime; your code can sync to GitHub (DoAny homepage). | Two-way GitHub sync on every plan (GitHub docs). The app keeps using Blink’s SDK for sign-in, data, storage and AI (founders page). |
| AI training on your data | DoAny does not train AI models on your data. Data collected through your site is processed on your behalf (DoAny privacy policy). | “By default, we do not use” your conversations, prompts or code to train AI models (Blink privacy policy). |
| Billing terms | Monthly only; cancel anytime. When credits run out, work pauses, with no overage and no automatic recharge (credits guide). | Fees are non-refundable (Blink terms). Auto-reload is optional, and its monthly cap is “No limit” unless you set one (plans and credits). |
Where DoAny is different
DoAny Free can go live with Stripe and take real card payments. DoAny takes 0% of your sales on every plan; Stripe’s processing fees still apply. Blink’s own summary is “Build it free. Charge on Pro” (payments page). If you want to learn whether anyone will pay, that is $300 paid a year up front, or $50 a month, before your first sale on Blink.
On DoAny, keeping the site, its database, files and functions online is included and not metered. At zero credits the site stays live and only AI work pauses. On Blink, each live product uses at least 50 credits a month, so three products use 150 of Pro’s 200 monthly plan credits before you build anything (hosting docs). Every DoAny plan runs unlimited companies on one credit balance, and none of their hosting draws on it.
In DoAny’s editor preview you pay with Stripe’s test cards. There are no API keys or webhooks to set up, and checkout sits on your own page. On Blink you paste your live secret key into Blink, and the test is a 100%-off code on your own real card, after you finish Stripe’s verification (Stripe docs).
Annie researches your idea and your market before building. After launch she posts every day, finds customers, follows up and answers them around the clock. Payments, new recurring jobs and account connections wait for your approval on a card. Blink’s growth tools are opt-in: an audit you run, and agents billed per agent. In the pages we checked, Blink documents no approval step before an agent sends outreach email or posts; its AI CFO agent does promise confirmation before a live trade.
Blink’s edge
A Blink fan would add these, and they are right. Several are things DoAny does not do at all.
Blink builds native mobile apps on any plan. On Max it builds and signs them for the stores: iOS builds go to TestFlight and Android builds download as AAB or APK, and you finish the listing in App Store Connect or Play Console (store publishing docs). In-app purchases run through RevenueCat. DoAny builds web apps only.
Starter billed yearly is $150 for the year, with production hosting and a custom domain for 5 credits (pricing). On DoAny a domain you own needs Pro, $300 a year with monthly billing only. Every paid Blink plan has a yearly price at half the monthly one; DoAny has no annual plan.
Blink’s Visual Editor, added June 6, 2026, lets you click an element to change text, color, layout and spacing (changelog). Every AI turn saves a version you can restore and publish (publish docs). DoAny edits by chat and saves every version, with no rollback screen.
Blink connects the Stripe account you already have, creates promo codes, and sets up Stripe’s customer portal so subscribers update cards or cancel on their own (payments page). Checkout on the sites DoAny builds can’t bring in an existing Stripe account yet and has no coupons or free trials at the moment.
Hosted Blink sites get visitor analytics by page, source, device and country (hosting page). There is no member limit on any plan, Free included, and top-up credits never expire (pricing). DoAny has no visitor analytics dashboard, Free includes 1 team member, and top-ups last 12 months.
Blink imports projects from Base44, Bolt, Lovable, Replit, Emergent and Manus, though users’ logins don’t come across (import guide). Pro adds in-app code editing (pricing), and databases keep 90 days of point-in-time recovery (database docs).
Two more limits matter here. DoAny has no SMS or phone features and no connector marketplace, where Blink’s agents reach 63 connectors and can place phone calls. And the checkout on the sites DoAny builds is Stripe only at the moment and doesn’t handle sales tax or VAT.
Arithmetic on published prices
List prices checked September 27, 2026, US dollars before tax, 12 months. Blink hosting renews every 30 days, about 12.2 times a year; we count 12. Building work is left out: a DoAny credit and a Blink credit buy different work.

| Scenario | Blink | DoAny | Who comes out ahead |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sell from day one, no domain of your own | Pro: $300 paid up front for the year, or $50 × 12 = $600 billed monthly. Hosting uses 50 of Pro’s 200 monthly credits. | $0 on Free: live on yourname.doany.site, takes real card payments, and hosting uses no credits. | DoAny, by $300 against Blink yearly or $600 monthly. |
| Sell on your own domain | Pro: $300 yearly or $600 monthly, plus 5 credits once for the domain. | $300 ($25 × 12) on Pro, which a custom domain needs. | A tie at $300 if you prepay Blink for the year; DoAny by $300 against Blink billed monthly. |
| A site that doesn’t sell, on your own domain | Starter: $150 paid up front, or $25 × 12 = $300 billed monthly. Hosting uses 50 of its 100 monthly credits. | $300 on Pro. | Blink, by $150 a year if you prepay. A tie billed monthly. |
| Three products, selling, no domain of your own | Pro: $300 paid up front for the year, or $50 × 12 = $600 billed monthly. Hosting uses 3 × 50 = 150 of 200 credits a month. | $0 on Free for all three companies, which share 5 credits a day, up to 30 a month; hosting uses no credits. | DoAny, by $300 against Blink yearly or $600 monthly. |
| Three products, selling, on your own domains | Pro: $300 yearly. Hosting uses 3 × 50 = 150 of 200 credits a month, plus 15 credits once for the domains. | $300 on Pro, which the domains need; all three companies share one credit balance. | A tie at $300 on Blink yearly. Blink leaves 50 plan credits a month for building; all of DoAny’s credits go to AI work. |
| One product at 200,000 visits a month, selling, own domain | Pro: $300 yearly, plus hosting top-ups: 485 top-up credits, $121.25 at the docs’ $0.25 ($421.25 in all) or $194 at the pricing page’s $0.40 ($494). | $300 on Pro; hosting uses no credits. | DoAny, by $121.25 to $194. |
At 200,000 visits a month, hosting costs 240 credits against Pro’s 200: 45 credits short in the first month and 40 in each of the next 11, or 485 in all.
Blink’s pages give two top-up prices. Its pricing page sells top-ups at $40 per 100 credits, while its plans and credits docs list $25 per 100. We show both. The same two pages also disagree on the Max ceiling (20,000 or 50,000 credits a month) and on what happens to a live app when credits run out.

Before you prepay a year
Getting paid
Both send customer payments to a Stripe account in your name and add no fee of their own. The differences are which plan can charge, how you test, and who handles the keys.
You paste the live publishable and secret keys from your Stripe dashboard. Blink creates the products, prices, webhook and customer portal, and checkout opens on Stripe in a new tab. Checkout and webhooks run on Blink Backend, which is why real payments need Pro (payments page). Selling inside store apps needs Max.
When you go live, customers pay through direct charges on your own Stripe account, a Stripe Express account DoAny opens for your business. You are the merchant, checkout shows your business name, and Stripe pays your bank on its normal schedule without DoAny touching the money. No keys are pasted anywhere, and taking payments uses no credits.
Ask Annie for checkout. The approval card shows “Set up payments” and “Not now,” and nothing is wired until you press one. On Blink you paste your live Stripe keys into the product first.
The editor preview runs in test mode, so you pay with Stripe’s test cards before Stripe sees your details (payments setup guide). Blink accepts live keys only, so its test is a 100%-off code on your own card.
Press Go live in the Payments panel, pick your country and complete Stripe’s verification. You can sell on the Free plan; Blink charges only on Pro. The selling online chapter has the full steps, from first product to first payout.
Switching
For other places to go, and what each one costs, see the Blink alternatives guide.
Connect a GitHub repo; Blink’s GitHub sync works on every plan, Free included. A ZIP download costs 5 credits on Starter and Pro and isn’t offered on Free.
Download each table as CSV or JSON from the Database tab (database docs). The code export leaves out secrets, so write down every API key your app uses before you leave.
Hand Annie the code and the table exports: DoAny imports both, so nothing starts from scratch. Code written for Blink’s SDK needs its sign-in, data, storage and AI calls moved to DoAny’s backend; keys go into DoAny’s Secrets vault. Check the preview, then run a test purchase with Stripe test cards.
Customer passwords don’t move, so customers sign in again or reset their password. Checkout on a DoAny site can’t take over an existing Stripe account yet: going live opens a new Stripe Express account, so decide how current subscribers move before you switch off Blink’s checkout.
A domain you bought in Blink moves out with an auth code from its Transfer tab (domains docs). Connect it in DoAny’s Domains panel on Pro: DoAny shows the DNS records, verifies them and issues HTTPS. Records proxied through Cloudflare’s orange cloud aren’t supported, so switch proxying off.
Deactivate hosting within 25 days of the last renewal and Blink refunds the unused credits pro rata (hosting docs). Then cancel the plan; you keep access until the end of the period you paid for, per Blink’s pricing, with no refund.
Common questions
It depends on whether you sell. For a site that doesn’t take payments, on your own domain, yes: Blink Starter billed yearly is $150 for the year, against $300 for DoAny Pro. To take real payments, Blink needs Pro, $300 paid a year up front or $600 billed monthly, while DoAny Free takes real card payments for $0 on yourname.doany.site. Selling on your own domain, a year costs $300 on both if you prepay Blink. Prices checked September 27, 2026.
No. On any Blink plan you can build a plans page and connect Stripe, but Blink says taking real payments “needs Pro ($50 a month)”, because checkout and webhooks run on Blink Backend. DoAny Free can go live with Stripe and take real card payments. Neither takes a cut: Blink adds no fee on your sales, and DoAny takes 0% of your sales on every plan; Stripe’s processing fees still apply on both.
On Blink, production hosting is paid in credits and renews every 30 days. If a renewal fails, visitors see “This app is temporarily paused” and the app goes offline after 7 days, according to Blink’s hosting docs; its pricing FAQ says projects stay deployed. On DoAny, hosting is included and uses no credits, so the site stays live at zero credits and only AI work pauses until you top up, upgrade or get tomorrow’s daily credits.
No. DoAny builds responsive web apps that customers can add to their home screen, not native store apps. Blink builds iOS and Android apps on any plan. On Max, from $200 a month, it builds and signs them for the stores: iOS builds go to TestFlight and Android builds download for you to upload to Google Play. You also need Apple’s $99-a-year and Google’s one-time $25 developer accounts. If you need a store app, Blink is the better fit.
Not on the Free plan. Free projects are public, and Blink’s collaboration guide says anyone can see a public project in Blink and remix it into their own copy; private projects start on Starter, $25 a month or $150 a year. Blink’s privacy policy says that by default it does not use your conversations, prompts or code to train AI models. DoAny does not train AI models on your data.
Sync your code to GitHub, which works on every Blink plan, or download it as a ZIP (5 credits on Starter and Pro), and export your tables as CSV or JSON. DoAny imports existing code and database records, so hand Annie both instead of starting over. Secrets, customer logins and your Stripe connection don’t move with the export: customers sign in again, and payments start on a new Stripe Express account. Then point your domain at DoAny on Pro.
