Do I need to buy a plan or spend money to take part in the 5 Day Challenge?

No paid plan is needed. Everybody in the challenge has an account that lasts through the whole challenge, and you can build everything the challenge covers on it.

Besides the entry fee, the only thing you need to buy is a domain name (about $10 for a .com). Your challenge account comes with $10 loaded, and phone numbers are $2 each. You need one phone number to follow along. You build your website with your 200 free AI credits and create images for it with the built-in AI image generation. All of that fits inside what is allotted for the challenge.

If you plan to build more than the challenge covers, such as other websites and apps, consider taking a paid plan sooner so you are not paying for AI assistant credits as you go. The Founders Plan includes $297 of AI assistant credit every month.

The add-on offers shown during the challenge, such as the Snapshot Library, the marketing skills and the AI ranking kit, are separate from any plan.
