## About Us

21st.dev helps teams bring craft and taste back to digital products. We empower developers to build products that reflect their team's own taste instead of the LLM model's. Our platform enables you to craft with AI while maintaining your unique design vision and brand identity. 

Founded by Serafim Korablev and Sergey Bunas, we're building the best way to create UI components — with Magic MCP for AI generation, and 21st.dev as the home to share, remix, and evolve them. We were featured in an a16z article about the future of AI-powered development and are backed by leading investors.

## Credits and Pricing Model

21st.dev uses a transparent, usage-based pricing model with credits:

- **Credits are calculated based on actual AI model usage** - simple requests cost fewer credits than complex generations
- **Real-time cost visibility** - hover over any message to see its exact credit cost
- **Fair and transparent** - you only pay for the AI resources you actually consume
- **Predictable monthly limits** - each plan includes a set amount of credits per month
- **No rollover** - unused credits don't carry to the next month, keeping pricing simple

### Credit Usage Examples:
- Simple text request: ~0.05-0.1 credits
- Component modification: ~0.2-0.4 credits  
- Complex component generation: ~0.5-1.0 credits
- Site cloning with AI: ~2-5 credits

This model ensures pricing reflects the actual complexity and resource usage of each task, making it more transparent and fair compared to fixed-generation pricing.
