Hostinger AI Builder Price India 2026: Rs. 149 a Month, Renews at Rs. 449

Hostinger's AI website and app builder - the product that merged its website builder with Horizons, as its own FAQ explains - sells on three plans. Every figure below was read from hostinger.in/horizons on 5 October 2026.

Entry is the Premium plan at Rs. 149 a month. The card qualifies it in one line: "Get 48 months for Rs. 7,152 (regular price Rs. 28,752). Renews at Rs. 449/mo."

Two things are doing work there. The term is 48 months - four years, not one - and the page states elsewhere that "All plans are paid upfront. The monthly rate reflects the total plan price divided by the number of months in your plan." So Rs. 149 a month is Rs. 7,152 charged once. Every 48-month total on the page divides exactly by 48 to its advertised rate.

Each card prints its own renewal figure, so the step-up can be read straight off the page rather than discovered in year five.

Premium goes from Rs. 149 to Rs. 449 a month - up 201%. Unlimited goes from Rs. 249 to Rs. 649 - up 161%. Cloud Startup goes from Rs. 599 to Rs. 1,599 - up 167%. Those are our arithmetic over Hostinger's published rates.

Over a second 48-month term the renewal rates come to Rs. 21,552, Rs. 31,152 and Rs. 76,752 against first-term bills of Rs. 7,152, Rs. 11,952 and Rs. 28,752. The entry plan's second four years cost three times its first four.

There is a second way to read the Premium renewal that matters more at checkout: Rs. 449 a month to renew Premium is 80% more than the Rs. 249 a month it costs to start on Unlimited - the bigger plan, with unlimited websites and ecommerce. Introductory ladders and renewal ladders are set independently, and on this page they cross.

This is the clause most likely to catch someone out, and Hostinger states it plainly in its own FAQ: "All paid plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee, as long as fewer than 30 credits have been used."

Set that against the page's own estimate of what building costs: "a simple business page usually takes 5-10 credits" in Agentic mode, where each action through the AI chat spends them. At 10 credits a page, three or four pages can take you past the 30-credit line while the 30 days are still running.

The free trial is separate and smaller: "both building modes can be tested for free, no card required. For conversational building, you get 5 free AI credits to start."

There is a way to build without spending them. "Manual mode doesn't use AI credits" - the drag-and-drop editor - and the page notes you can "edit text and images manually and directly in the content editor, no prompting needed". If the refund window matters to you, that is where to spend the first 30 days.

Two clauses in the FAQ answer this, and they point in opposite directions. The hard one: "if your hosting plan expires and isn't renewed, your project will no longer be accessible and all data will be permanently deleted."

The offsetting one: "what you build is yours. You can edit or export the complete source code at any time and take it with you", and "if you ever want to move elsewhere, you can export your code and self-host it on any other platform."

So the exit exists, but it has to be taken before the plan lapses, and the plan in question is a four-year prepaid one whose renewal costs roughly three times what the first term did. Export is the step to diarise, not to improvise.

One limitation worth knowing before you buy: "Hostinger's website and app builder doesn't currently support building native mobile apps for the App Store or Google Play. What it does build are web apps" - responsive, but not publishable to an app store.

• Read the renewal, not the struck rate. Premium renews at Rs. 449 a month against Rs. 149 now - a 201% step-up, printed on the card.
• Check the cross-over. Renewing Premium at Rs. 449/mo costs 80% more per month than starting Unlimited at Rs. 249/mo.
• Spend your first 30 days in Manual mode if you want the refund intact. The guarantee holds only "as long as fewer than 30 credits have been used", and a simple page is 5-10.
• Budget credits as a running cost. Live AI features consume them on every visitor interaction, not just while you build.
• Export the code before the plan lapses. Hostinger says the project "will no longer be accessible and all data will be permanently deleted" if it is not renewed.
