Rosebud makes game creation genuinely accessible: a prompt produces a playable web game in minutes, and chat-based iteration plus a code tab let you go further. Its pricing has climbed — Indie Dev is now $15 — and the useful rights are tiered: commercial use and unbranded pages start at 10x Dev, and downloadable code at the $50 Pro plan, with Rosebud's own terms and pricing page disagreeing slightly on commercial rights. Ideal for learners, game jams and quick prototypes; for a commercial release, budget for Pro and plan to move into a full engine eventually.
What we found
Rosebud AI is a browser-based AI game maker. You describe a game in plain language and its assistant, Rosie, writes the code and generates the art, producing playable 2D and 3D web games that you keep refining by chatting, edit in a code tab on desktop and publish on Rosebud's hosting. Other users can remix projects unless you make them private, and the company also markets the tool as an AI web app builder. Rosebud says more than 2.5 million games have been made on it. Its name comes from the money cheat code in The Sims.
Rosebud AI, Inc. was founded in San Francisco in 2019 by Lisha Li, went through Y Combinator's summer 2019 batch and, according to Forbes, has raised $9.9 million; its listed angel investors include Andrej Karpathy, Ilya Sutskever, Jeff Dean and Adam D'Angelo. Vladimir Glazachev became chief executive in April 2026, with Lisha Li remaining on the board. Rosebud says it was named to the Forbes AI 50 and CB Insights AI 100 lists in 2024.
Pricing is by monthly credits, with no annual option shown. The free plan is for personal, non-commercial use under Rosebud's terms, and its allowance is not published. Indie Dev costs $15 a month for 100,000 credits, hosting, private projects, better asset generation and a browser code tab, with unused credits rolling over once. 10x Dev, at $30, gives 300,000 credits, full commercial rights and no Rosebud branding, and Rosebud says it can produce games that could go to Steam or the App Store. Pro, at $50, gives a million credits and downloadable project code; Scale, at $100, gives two million credits with auto-scaling hosting. Rosebud's terms say paid users may use their creations commercially, while the pricing page ties commercial rights to 10x Dev and above, so check before selling a game made on Indie Dev.
It suits hobbyists, students and indie developers prototyping web games quickly; larger productions will still need a conventional engine.
