Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a credit card for the Free plan?
No. The Free plan does not require a credit card. Basic monitoring also works without an account. A free account is required for backend-powered AI features like Chat, Fix plans, Failure Reviews, AI pre-commit messages, and AI Welcome Back recaps.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contracts and no lock-in. Cancel from your account settings.
Is there a $1 start offer for Pro?
Yes. New Pro and Ultra subscriptions start at $1 for the first 2 days. After that, Pro renews at $12.99/month and Ultra renews at $29.99/month.
Does the $1 start offer apply when upgrading from Pro to Ultra?
No. The $1 start offer is for new paid subscriptions. Existing in-app Pro to Ultra upgrades follow the normal upgrade flow on your current subscription.
What happens when I hit a Free plan limit?
Local supervision keeps working: Command Center local actions, Activity receipts, basic Safety, deterministic Validate Session, manual checkpoints, checkpoint guidance, MCP-lite metadata tools, and local prompt generation remain available.
Free AI limits currently include:
- AI chat: 10/day
- Pre-commit AI message: 3/month
- Verification/recovery prompts: limited local generation
What is the difference between Pro and Ultra?
Pro removes the main AI workflow limits and unlocks AI Investigation plus premium chat presets.
Ultra is the heavier-use, early-access tier for routing and higher investigation capacity. Some Ultra capabilities are already rolling out, while others are still clearly marked as rolling out or coming soon.
Does Use in Commit overwrite my existing draft commit message?
No. When an AI commit message is ready, Use in Commit sends it to the VS Code Source Control commit box and opens Source Control, but it does not overwrite an existing draft.
How does Welcome Back work?
Welcome Back appears after a meaningful away period, currently around 30 minutes by default, when meaningful activity happened while you were away. On Free, the AI recap portion is quota-gated at 1/day, while local recap behavior can still appear.
Do you offer team or enterprise plans?
Team features are not part of this release. Contact us for enterprise inquiries.
