Building & editing

The core creation features, designed for both editors and developers. Everything you need to build, extend, and style pages without leaving the visual surface.

Visual builder

The core surface for building pages visually. Content changes never need a deploy.

Custom blocks

Developers add blocks for functionality beyond the built-ins; they surface natively inside the builder for editors to use.

Extensible builder UI

Extend the builder interface itself with custom panels and controls.

Design tokens

Reusable design tokens for consistent styling across the site (built on Tailwind CSS).

Theme system

Themeable presentation across the whole site, so a re-skin isn't a rebuild.

Data binding

Bind content and data into page elements.

03

Content & media

Content operations are covered end to end, from multilingual publishing to media management and external CMS connectivity.

Multilingual

Build and manage content in multiple languages.

Media manager

Organize images and other media assets in one place.

Image editor

Edit images without leaving the builder.

Connect external CMS

Payload CMS ships out of the box and is fully swappable for any CMS you prefer.

04

Collaboration & workflow

Teams can work in parallel, safely.

Multi-user editing

Multiple editors work at once; page locking prevents conflicts.

One-click publish

Push changes live in a single action.

Preview mode

Review unpublished changes before they go live, built on Next.js draft mode.

Revisions & restore

Full page history with restore to any previous version - no edit is a one-way door.

05

Access & platform

The platform-level features that make the rest safe to hand to a team.

Role-based access control (RBAC)

Configure roles and permissions for editors and teams, so the right people edit the right things.

Full feature set, no tiers

Every license unlocks everything. Plans differ by domains and branding, never by features.

AI assistant

Edit by chat.
No coding required.

An in-builder chat panel that edits content, creates and edits sections, and helps with SEO and theming — all in plain language.

Ownership by Design

Own everything you build

01

Own your data

Bring your own database - Postgres, SQLite, or any supported storage. All website content, registered users, and actions live in your database. ChaiBuilder has no access to any of it.

02

Own your infrastructure

ChaiBuilder is delivered as code you deploy on your own stack. You host it, you run it - there is no vendor-hosted runtime for your site.

03

No feature tiers

Every license unlocks the entire product. Plans differ by domains and branding, never by features. There are no feature flags and nothing to upgrade into.

Ownership isn't a plan tier or an add-on here - it's the architecture.

Simple yearly pricing. Every feature, every plan.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does the free trial work?
It's a 30-day trial with no credit card and no email required. Create your project with
npx chaibuilder-app create
, deploy to your server, and the trial starts on deploy. There are no refunds, so use the trial to validate fit before buying.
What does the license actually cover?
Licenses are perpetual within a version window: valid through the end of your year and eligible for any
chaipro
version released in that window. When it expires, renew to stay current or keep running the last eligible version.
What's open source and what's paid?
The open-source core (
chaicore
) is a basic Next.js website builder: visual builder, SQLite page storage, and rendering. The paid
chaipro
package adds a set of Pro extensions on top: roles, revisions, multilingual, redirects, media management, advanced AI, multi-tenancy, and more.
Can I use a different CMS?
Yes. Payload CMS ships wired in out of the box, but there is no coupling between Payload's tables and ChaiBuilder's. Swap in any CMS you prefer.
How does Bring-Your-Own-AI work?
The AI assistant runs on Vercel AI Gateway or OpenRouter out of the box, and you can configure any custom provider via ChaiBuilder config. Usage stays under your own provider account.
