Hostinger AI Builder

Easiest and cheapest way to build AI apps and websites

Best value

Budget-conscious beginners building simple, database-light sites who are comfortable with a 48-month prepaid term — not yet the right tool if your app needs a robust backend or you want month-to-month flexibility

Good Fit If You're...

Getting your first website or app online affordably

Hostinger AI Builder bundles hosting with the AI builder — no separate deployment step, no separate provider bill. Just build and it's live.

Small business website with basic AI generation

If you need a business website with a few pages, contact form, and maybe a blog — the builder handles this well and the bundled hosting means one bill, one provider.

Testing whether vibe coding is for you

The low promotional first-term rate makes it cheap to try, though the 48-month prepaid commitment (no month-to-month option) is worth weighing before committing — especially if your project needs a real database with reliable dev/production sync.

Pricing

PlanPriceCredits
Premium$10.99/mo

Cloud Startup$25.99/mo

Hidden costs to be aware of:

  • Merged with Hostinger's Website Builder into a single product, 'Hostinger AI Builder', on Aug 18, 2026 — Horizons is now this product's AI/agentic mode; previous Explorer/Starter/Hobbyist/Hustler monthly plans are discontinued
  • No month-to-month billing anymore — all plans require a 48-month prepaid term; prices shown are the post-intro renewal rate (48-month total divided by 48)
  • Steep first-term promo pricing: $2.99/mo (Premium), $3.99/mo (Unlimited), $7.99/mo (Cloud Startup) for the initial 48-month term, before renewing at the listed prices
  • No free tier found on the current pricing page — down from the old plan's 5 free AI credits

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • +Hosting, SSL, and CDN bundled with the AI builder — no separate deployment step or provider to manage
  • +"Click-to-isolate" element editing: click any element on the page, it highlights, and you type instructions to change just that piece
  • +Security baked into the hosting layer — ISO/IEC 27001:2017 certified, GDPR compliant, with DDoS protection, malware scanning, and a WAF included
  • +Builder interface supports over 80 languages

Limitations

  • -No native database — apps that need one must connect to an external service like Supabase, and reviewers report the dev and production sides don't reliably stay in sync (one hands-on review burned 68 of 200 monthly credits and 29 separate database queries without ever shipping a working app)
  • -Independent reviews score it around 4.0–4.6/5, with the recurring critique being that the missing native database "overshadows Horizons' strengths" otherwise
  • -Browser-based apps only — no native mobile app output
  • -All plans now require a 48-month prepaid commitment with no month-to-month option — a bigger upfront ask than most competitors, and a real change from the old plan's monthly billing
  • -Tied to the Hostinger ecosystem and limited to simpler applications relative to dedicated AI app builders
