My AI app builder has users, not buyers – why?

I’m a solo founder building an AI app builder that lets people generate web apps and websites from a prompt, then visually edit the output.

People are signing up. They’re building things. Usage looks healthy.

But almost no one converts to paid.

I’m trying to understand what’s actually stopping people from paying in cases like this.

Is it trust in AI-generated code? Fear of using it in production? Too much value in the free tier? Or the tool feeling useful but not yet “mission critical”?

For those who’ve built or paid for similar tools: What finally pushed you to upgrade — or what kept you from doing it?

Is the user base churning or are you getting multi day active users? Which one will point you in a different direction.

Once the page has been generated where can I host it? The answer will influence your target audience.

And then on pricing what does a credit get me in terms of something tangible - a page, 5 pages?

And for the target audience do they know which model is better? And if so why is it better to use your site than just direct prompt?

Weekly (one time) is very confusing naming. Maybe hobby or starter is better.
