Pineify Free vs Paid: Access and Usage Limits
The free visual builder lets you evaluate a limited rule-building workflow. Paid plans add coding and research features with specific usage allowances. Free builder access is not the same as unrestricted AI access, and a lifetime plan does not mean unlimited usage.
Compare the task, the plan, and the allowance
Choose the lowest plan that includes the workflow you need, then check its current limits. Account-specific trial or promotional credits are separate from a paid monthly allowance. Prices shown here follow the current standard plan configuration; coupons, taxes, eligibility, and checkout terms can change the amount payable.
How It Works
- 1
Start with a small visual-builder rule and confirm the available indicators, conditions, and export workflow fit your task.
- 2
For AI coding, inspect the plan’s model access and allowance in your account. Do not assume a fixed number of generated scripts per credit.
- 3
For research, journaling, or optimization, check the feature matrix. Advanced and Expert do not have identical access.
- 4
Review current billing terms before purchasing or upgrading. A more expensive plan does not establish better trading results.

Example Research Tasks
Visual builder evaluation
Example question
“Can I explore the builder before choosing a paid plan?”
Illustrative response
Yes. Start with the limited free visual builder. Check the actual limits in the editor; do not confuse a visual rule workflow with an unlimited AI-coding trial.
Coding usage
Example question
“How much AI usage does each paid plan include?”
Illustrative response
Plus: 500; Advanced: 1,000; Expert: 3,000 credits per month. Usage depends on the selected model and request. Pine Model message limits are separate from credit-metered usage; check the current account display.
Research and journaling
Example question
“Do I need Expert for the Finance Agent or journal?”
Illustrative response
Advanced includes the Finance Agent, Stocks & Options Picker, Trading Journal, Strategy Optimizer, and Backtest Report. Expert adds Market Insights, Market Screener, Analyst Ratings, and MCP access, with larger allowances. Verify the feature you need rather than assuming all research starts at Expert.
