PlugThis

Describe a Chrome extension, get real Manifest V3 code in minutes

What it is

PlugThis is a web tool that builds real Chrome extensions from a plain-English description, generating actual Manifest V3 code, a working backend, and Chrome Web Store assets like icons and screenshots. There is no free plan: pricing starts at $9.99 a month for one extension with unlimited chat-based refinement, though a launch promo code currently discounts the pricier Builder tier.

What you get free vs paid

Verdict

Where it wins and loses

Pros

Ships a genuinely working Manifest V3 extension, not a mockup, with an optional real backend (Supabase-backed login or database)
Generates Chrome Web Store listing assets (icons, screenshots, copy) alongside the code, so publishing isn't a separate project
You own all the generated code with no lock-in
Every change is versioned, and early Product Hunt reviewers reported shipping working extensions in about an hour

Cons

No free tier at all: the cheapest plan is $9.99 a month with no way to try it without paying
The Starter plan covers only one extension; you need the pricier Builder tier for three
It's a brand-new launch (July 2026), so the long-term reliability of the generated backends is still unproven

If you have a clear idea for a Chrome extension and don't want to touch Manifest V3 by hand, PlugThis is the fastest route to something you can actually submit to the store, but skip it if you were hoping for a free tier to test the water first.
