Your Vibe-Coded App Deserves Better Than a Credit Tax
Credit-based AI builders charge per generation. When free tiers expire, real costs emerge. Deploy your vibe-coded app on real infrastructure, no credits, no counter.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a credit tax in AI app builders?
A credit tax is the cumulative cost of credits consumed during debugging, refactoring, and fixing AI-introduced bugs. Each generation or edit costs credits, and debugging loops can burn 60-150 credits without shipping anything new.
Can I migrate an existing vibe-coded app to OSC?
Yes. Your existing code continues to work. You provision the services you need via Claude Code and the OSC MCP server, update your environment variables, push your repo to GitHub, and deploy via My Apps. No rebuilding required.
Does OSC charge per generation or per infrastructure action?
No. OSC has no credit counter. You pay a flat monthly subscription (free tier included, Personal at €15/month, Professional at €69/month). There is no per-generation charge, no debugging tax, and no hosting surcharge.
What open source services can I run on OSC?
OSC offers 200+ production-ready services including PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis-compatible Valkey, MinIO object storage, Meilisearch, analytics tools, transcoding services, CDN, and more. All are unmodified open source you can self-host at any time.

Vibe Coding Meets Open Source Deployment
AI writes the code. But where does it run? Vibe coding tools generate applications in minutes — yet deployment remains the gap. Open Source Cloud bridges that gap with zero lock-in infrastructure that AI agents can provision directly.

AI agents can now deploy infrastructure through conversation. But most platforms lock you in the moment you deploy. OSC is the only platform where vibe deploy means zero lock-in — every service is unmodified open source you can take anywhere.
