How much does Bricklayer cost?
The editor is free. You bring your own AI, and that can be free too. Here is where costs can come from.
Updated November 8, 2026
Bricklayer Editor is free. There is no subscription or account to buy.
Where costs can come from: your AI
Bricklayer uses an AI provider that you choose, and that provider has its own pricing. You can stay completely free:
| Option | Cost |
|---|---|
| OpenRouter free models in Bricklayer chat | $0. An optional one-time $10 credit purchase raises the daily limit, and those credits never expire. |
| Codex on a free ChatGPT account | $0, with usage caps |
| Antigravity CLI | $0 with a Google account, with weekly rate limits |
| Ollama (local models) | $0, but it needs a capable computer |
If you already pay for Claude or ChatGPT, Bricklayer can use what you have.
Watch for API-key options that look like free sign-ins. For example, Codex offers both Sign in with ChatGPT (included in your plan) and an API key option (paid per use). They look almost identical on the setup screen.
Every free option, compared honestly: Build without paying for AI.
