The first question everyone asks
When people in Bangladesh hear "free", the first question is: where is the real catch hiding?
That is a fair question. So here is the plain arithmetic with nothing hidden: which jobs finish completely for free, where you start paying, and exactly what the money is for.
What is free every day
There is a daily count of free AI tokens, up to 400,000, and it fills up again every day. Whatever you spend, the next day you get the whole amount again.
What you can do inside this count:
- Build a site, an app or a tool
- Change it as many times as you like: "make the colour green", "add a section", anything
- Publish and share it at an address in your own name (your-name.banglacodes.app, up to three sites at once)
- Chat, translation, study, CVs, formal letters and applications
- Ordinary AI pictures
One honest point: this is a ceiling, not a promise. If everyone crowds in at once, the sharing rules can trim heavy users a little, so that everyone gets something.
The job that finishes fully for free
A student makes a CV and downloads the PDF. Done.
A freelancer builds a portfolio site, publishes it, and sends the address in their own name to a client. Done.
A teacher makes a quiz and gives students the link. Done.
None of these three cost any money, and none was left half done. The free level is not "for looking". You can really finish work with it.
Where money is needed, and why
Three places. All three are separate things, and taking one does not require another.
One: keeping a site live on your own domain. The address your-name.banglacodes.app is free and fully working, only the end of the name is ours. If you want the site on a domain in your own name, it is ৳6,999 once, for life. That includes SSL, the order form working and the inbox. There is nothing month to month.
Two: premium Models. Ordinary work goes well with the free Model. And if no free Model can do a build at all, that day the build is done at our cost by a Premium Model, up to 3 times a day and 12 times in all on one account, and you pay nothing. Beyond that, if you always want a better Model for complex apps or long code, you need a Token pack, starting from ৳199. Bought Token stay in your account until they are used.
Three: big plans for shops. If you need many orders a day or many pages, there is Business at ৳14,499; for auto-replies to customers, order SMS or the courier file, Commerce at ৳23,999. A small shop does not need these. Lifetime hosting alone can take orders.
The mistake that happens most
Many people assume they must buy both Token and hosting, or the site will not run.
In fact they are two separate things, and taking one does not require the other: Token is the cost of building, and hosting is the cost of keeping the site live. Hosting is bought directly with money, in one step, by bKash, Nagad or card. If you already have enough Token in your balance you can pay with that too, but you never have to buy Token first to get hosting.
If you do not need a shop or your own domain, you do not need hosting. If you do not need a premium Model, you do not need a Token pack.
Exactly what you get when you publish for free
Many people have a wrong idea here, so let me say it separately. A site published for free is not a cut-down version. It is a real site:
- The address is in your own name: your-name.banglacodes.app, good enough to print on a card or put in a bio
- You can keep three sites live at once, each with 5 pages
- It installs on the phone's home screen, and an app built for offline use runs without internet after it has been opened once
- A real Android app in one tap: a .apk to install on a phone and an .aab for the Play Store, the first app free (10,000 Token for each build after that)
- Carts, notes, settings or scores stay in the browser, and outside scripts run too
- A small "Made with BanglaCodes" badge sits at the bottom, and it goes away after any purchase
- A published site never disappears on a timer, no matter how long you leave it alone
None of these need money.
What does not happen for free
One thing needs to be said clearly, because this is where people are surprised.
The site can be seen, it looks good, it can be shared. But when someone writes something in the contact form and sends it, it does not reach you. Storing form submissions is part of hosting.
Another point: the free share link (banglacodes.app/p/...) and the published address are not the same thing. The share link is run separately for safety, so install, offline and browser storage do not work there. If you are giving it to someone permanently, give the published address.
So if the site is only for showing (a portfolio, a CV, an invitation card), free is enough. But if orders or messages are supposed to come from the site, you will need hosting. Where they are stored and how to handle them is covered separately in the post on the order inbox.
How to get more free tokens
Beyond the daily count you can get some more free Token: by using it day after day, by referring a friend, by sharing what you built. How much each gives is set out step by step in the post on ways to get free Token.
These are small, but they add up. And they cost not a single paisa.
What it comes to after five years
This is where the real meaning of a one-time price shows.
Ordinary hosting has to be paid year after year, and the price can go up at each yearly renewal. If you pay a one-time price, five years later it is still that one time.
The full table of costs, with domain and design, is laid side by side in the post on the cost of a website.

Questions and answers
Do the free Token really come back in full every day? Yes, the daily count starts fresh each day. Even if you spent it all yesterday, you get the whole amount again today. Just remember it is a ceiling, so in a very busy hour the share of heavy users may drop a little.
Can I start without a card? Yes. No card or payment details are needed to start, and if you want to stay on the free level they will never be needed. You pay only when you decide yourself to take hosting or Token.
Can a site built for free be moved to my domain later? Yes. The site stays as it is, and when you take hosting it is placed on your domain. You do not need to build it again.
Does everything stop when the Token run out? No. When the daily free count is finished, new work stops for that day, but everything built before keeps running and published sites stay open. You can start again at midnight Dhaka time. If you do not want to wait, the limit card itself has a "Use your own free key" button: put a free Google Gemini key in Settings, press "Back to where you were", and your text stays in the box, so you just send it again.
How long do bought Token last? As long as they are not spent. Once you buy them they stay in your account, and nothing like a cancellation at the end of the month happens.
Is the ৳6,999 for hosting per site? Yes, the price is for one site, and for life for that one site. If you want two sites for two separate businesses kept live separately, you need hosting for each.
When do I need the Business or Commerce plan? Business when many orders or messages come in a day or you need many pages. Commerce when you must send customers auto-replies, order SMS or a courier file. A small shop does not need these at the start. Lifetime hosting alone can take orders.
Will I get more free work if I have my own API Key? Yes. If you add your own Key in Settings, the cost of that Model goes to your own account, not to our daily count. The easiest is a free Google Gemini Key: in the "Providers & API keys" part of Settings, press "Get key", tap "Create API key" with your own Google account, then put it in under "Add key". Google's own free limit does still apply. For people who do a lot of work, this is a useful path.
Do sites published for free show ads? There are no ads. There is only a small "Made with BanglaCodes" line at the bottom, that is all. It goes away after any purchase, even the ৳199 Token pack.
In short
- 400,000 free AI tokens a day, filled up again every day
- Building, changing and publishing are all inside that count; three sites live for free, at your-name.banglacodes.app
- You pay in three places: your own domain (৳6,999, once), premium Models (from ৳199), big plans
- On the free plan, form submissions do not reach you, that is part of hosting
- There is no monthly bill, and bought Token stay until they are spent
