Free to start. Pay what fits.
One price. Everything Crumb knows about not letting the spiral win. The free version is yours forever: one project, Creative mode. When you need more projects or want Nerd mode unlocked, pick the plan that fits how you work. Both unlock everything. No features held hostage.
If you'll use Crumb for more than 4 months, the one-time plan is cheaper. The Tutor add-on is $5/mo on both plans either way.
App + Tutor bundled. Cancel the Tutor in Settings anytime to drop to $4.99/mo for the app alone. No penalties, no hard feelings.

Hiring someone to build the thing you're describing starts at $1,500. That's a freelance contractor at $75/hour, 20 hours of work, one tool.
Crumb is $39.99. One-time.
Every plan, free included, comes with Starters: 100 ready-to-build project prompts you pick at New Project, each one asking the right questions first so there's no wrong assumptions before Claude starts. Paid plans add Scrooge mode, an off-by-default toggle that routes your work to the cheapest model that can still do the job well, typically saving around 70%. And Crumb Tutor teaches you as you work with short lesson-style tips, right where you're building.
Free tier forever. Try Creative mode with no card. Upgrade only if it earns it.
