The whole CLI is MIT and free forever — including the drift check and the CI workflows. What you pay for is being told when a rule goes stale, and being able to hold a whole fleet to one standard.
Paddle takes the payment, remits the tax and issues the receipts. “Paddle” is what appears on your card statement, not our name. Prices shown include VAT where it applies — the figure above is what your card is charged, and checkout itemises the tax inside it before anything is taken. Checkout opens as an overlay on this page; there is no card form of ours anywhere.
Subscribing emails a licence key. CI uses a separate credential (APB_TOKEN) that only reports drift — never your source.
Advisories. When a vendor in your stack changes something — an API removed, a support line ending, a default flipped — your generated rules keep telling your assistant the old thing, confidently, until somebody notices. Pro is a curated feed of those changes, matched to the technologies you actually selected, with the vendor's own source and the date a person last checked it.
Eleven today, written by hand against the highest-traffic technologies, each checked against the vendor's own documentation on the day it was written. The commitment is four to six a month. We would rather tell you the number than imply a feed that fills itself.
You see that they exist. check tells you how many apply to your stack and how severe they are, free, forever — the text and the sources are the paid part. Nobody's build fails over an advisory they cannot read.
The CLI keeps working — it is MIT and already on your machine. check still reports drift, upgrade still refreshes, the corpus you have keeps working. What stops is being told: no advisories for your stack, no drift gate in CI, no refresh PRs. You go back to finding out the hard way.
One person who can read the fleet and publish packs. Repos are unlimited — you are never charged per repository, and adding the twentieth repo costs nothing.
Rule packs and the fleet dashboard, neither of which makes sense for one person. A pack carries your team's own standards into every project it generates — the built-in rules cover 35 technologies, not how you write code. The fleet dashboard ranks every repository your organisation owns by how badly it is currently misleading its assistant.
Team is priced for teams, and both of its features are about more than one person and more than one repository. The minimum lives on the price in Paddle, so what you are quoted and what you are invoiced can never disagree.
Chat and --idea spend real API budget, and a trial is a stranger spending it. The free tier is the alternative: not a sample of the product, but the whole CLI, complete, with a small allowance of the hosted parts.
Only if you connect the GitHub App, and only as a pull request you review. Copying the upgrade command is always the primary route — we do not push to anyone’s repo by default.
Which modules you selected, the generator version, drift counts and generator-owned paths. Never source code, file contents, diffs or environment variables. The itemised list is on the Connect screen, both columns.
The CLI is MIT and public. Whether the server that answers --idea and advisories is published — MIT, source-available, or closed — has not been decided. We would rather say that than imply either.
Paddle-hosted checkout, as an overlay on this page. Paddle is the merchant of record — they handle the tax and issue the receipt, and “Paddle” is what shows on your card statement. The price you see is the price charged; VAT is carved out of it, not added to it.
The allowance is checked before a request is made, so a run over the line costs nothing and fails instantly. Neither of these is styled as an error — you have not done anything wrong.
check always tells you how many advisories match your stack and how severe they are — that part is free and always will be. What a subscription adds is what each one says, the vendor's source, and the date it was verified. A build never fails over text the same report refuses to show you.

Free includes three --idea proposals and three chat messages a day. The count resets at 00:00 UTC and nothing else is affected — the wizard, check, ci init and upgrade have no allowance at all.

The key is valid but the subscription behind it ended, so advisories and the CI drift gate stopped. Nothing local changed — the CLI you already have keeps working, and check still reports drift exactly as before.
402 subscription_inactive · key ends … 4f2a
Everything local — the wizard, check, ci init, upgrade — keeps running regardless. The three genuine failures are documented on the --idea docs page.
Install nothing, sign up for nothing. Subscribe later, when you want to be told the day a rule stops being true.
