Coding · pricing
Choose Zalcro if you build apps with AI coding tools and want an architecture doc, phased plan and ready-to-paste prompts or tickets before you start prompting.
Zalcro is a planning tool, and its pricing turns on how much of each plan you get to see. Starter is free with no card needed, but it allows one architecture generation per month and unlocks only the Phase 1 plan, its tickets and the first prompt of the Prompt Pack. Builder removes that cap: unlimited generations, the full plan, all tickets and all prompts, for $19 per month.
Paying annually brings Builder to $15 per month, billed as $180 per year, which the pricing page says saves $48 against monthly. A Teams plan with workspaces and repo ingestion is listed as coming soon, with no price. Prices checked on 2026-09-29.
