Choosing a model
Buildprint supports multiple AI providers and model families. The available models change over time, so use the model picker in the chat composer as the current source of truth.
The all-around best model and best value option for Buildprint users is currently OpenAI's ChatGPT/Codex plans, which start at $20/mo. GPT-5.5 delivers the best results on Buildprint, and the ChatGPT plans offer the best value for money in terms of rate limits and quality.
Providers
Depending on your workspace configuration, Buildprint can use:
Buildprint-managed models.
OpenAI or ChatGPT-connected models.
Claude-connected models.
Gemini-connected models.
OpenRouter bring-your-own-key
Each team member may need to connect their own provider account unless your workspace is using a shared provider or Buildprint-managed credits.
Current model guidance
Use the model picker labels as the source of truth for:
Whether a model supports building.
Whether it is recommended for planning, building, UI work, or browser testing.
Provider connection requirements.
Cost or credit behavior.
Any model-specific limitations.
As of now, Buildprint supports OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, OpenRouter, and Buildprint-managed options, including both editing-capable and planning-only models.
Cost
Costs depend on provider, model, workspace billing, and whether you use your own provider subscription or Buildprint-managed credits.
For predictable usage, connect the provider account your team already uses or choose a Buildprint-managed model whose credit behavior you understand. For heavy Build mode work, monitor usage in the provider or billing UI.
