Laying out screens, wiring the hardware, previewing with simulated sensor readings and saving your work are all unmetered and always will be. The only thing counted is a code generation: one complete build of your project's source files.
Prices in GBP. Credits are shown inclusive of tax; Pro is quoted excluding it, and Stripe adds whatever is due for your country at checkout. Both are one-off payments taken through Stripe - no card details ever reach this site, and nothing recurring is ever set up, so there is nothing to cancel.
Creating and editing screens · adding widgets and styles · configuring the display, touch controller and pins · adding sensors, buses and I/O expanders · variables, formulas and automations · preview mode · validation and the hardware check · saving, opening and duplicating projects · downloading a project as JSON · browsing and cloning from the gallery.
Pressing Generate code and getting your source files back. Downloading the same result as a zip immediately afterwards is part of the same generation, not a second one - and a build that fails validation is never charged.
A free account gets 15 code generations per month. The month is a rolling 30-day window that starts at your first generation of the period, not the 1st of the calendar month - the app shows the exact date it rolls over. Unused generations do not carry into the next window. Without an account you get 5 generations in total, which do not reset.
£2 buys 10 credits, and one credit is one code generation - 20p each. Credits are spent only after the monthly allowance is gone, so buying a pack early never wastes one, and they never expire. Buy as many packs as you want.
£49.99 paid once removes the counting entirely: unlimited code generations, for ever, with no monthly allowance and no credits to buy. It also raises the storage limits to 50 saved projects and 30 screens each. It is a purchase, not a subscription - there is no renewal and nothing to cancel.
The plans above are priced for one person with one card. If that is not the shape of what you need, there is a person at the other end of an email rather than a form that goes nowhere.
Accounts are one per person and credentials are not to be shared - so a team of eight wants eight of them, billed once, with one invoice rather than eight card receipts.
If your finance department needs a quote, a PO number, a VAT invoice or a signed supplier form before anything can be bought, say so and it will be sorted out.
Bench work that regenerates dozens of variants a day does not fit an allowance designed around building one panel. Tell us roughly how much and we will price it as one thing.
The server is a normal Node and MongoDB application, and with billing switched off it runs unmetered. If your designs cannot leave your network, this is the answer - ask about terms.
Teaching a lab or a module with thirty students on one campus connection is exactly the case the free tier handles worst. There is a better arrangement for it; just ask.
Support with a response time attached, a board preset for hardware you sell, or terms your procurement people can actually sign. If it is reasonable it is probably possible.
Email admin@lcdwizard.online with a rough idea of how many people and how much use, and what your procurement process needs to see. That address is the central contact point for everything commercial - pricing, invoicing, licensing and support.
Email admin@lcdwizard.onlineNothing is deleted and nothing is locked. You keep designing, previewing and saving; only the Generate button waits until your monthly allowance rolls over or you buy a credit pack.
On a rolling 30-day window from your first generation in the period, not on the first of the month. The app shows the exact date. Unused generations do not roll over.
Your monthly allowance is always spent first. Credits are only drawn on once it is exhausted, so buying a pack early never wastes it. Credits do not expire and carry across months.
No. Both credits and Pro are single payments that set up nothing which renews, so there is nothing to cancel and no card kept on file by us.
Credits, until you expect to buy more than about 25 packs. Below that, pay as you go; above it, Pro costs less and stops you thinking about it. There is no wrong order: buying Pro later does not waste credits you already hold, and unused credits simply stay on the account.
Neither. It is bought outright and stays on the account. If we ever change the price, accounts that already have Pro are unaffected.
Yes. Open the designer and use it as a guest - you get 5 code generations with no account at all, and the output is a complete, compilable project rather than a sample. They do not reset, and they are counted against your connection rather than your browser - so clearing cookies does not start them again, and on a shared office or campus connection you may find they have already been used. A project is limited to 3 screens without an account, 5 with a free one and 30 on Pro. An account is what gives you a monthly allowance, saved projects and the gallery.
Email us and we will credit the generation back. The exports are checked against every board preset before release, but vendor pinouts change between board revisions, which is why every preset carries a note telling you to verify it.
Saved projects are stored on the server so you can open them from another machine - that is the point of an account. You can delete any project, and deleting your account removes them all.
The server is a normal Node and MongoDB application. If billing is not configured it simply runs unmetered. Get in touch if you want to run it internally.
No card, no email address: 5 code generations to see the real output. An account makes it 15 a month, £2 buys 10 more whenever you need them, and £49.99 once removes the limit for good.
