Important Notes on Beta & Future Pricing
1. 100% Free During Beta
The development preview has no checkout or credit-card requirement. Use the client release status to check which installation and compatibility gates are still pending.
2. Local-First & Permanent Free Tier
Chat to API follows a local-first architecture. Your original database and decryption keys stay on your device. If you enable remote access, authorized query results, including returned chat content, pass through the cloud relay. Even after commercialization, single-device local API and MCP access will remain permanently free.
3. Exclusive Early-Adopter Benefits
All users who register and use Chat to API during the beta preview will automatically receive exclusive lifetime early-bird discounts when commercial tiers launch.
The project is in development preview. The plans, limits, and prices above describe the proposed commercial release; they are not currently enforced paid entitlements.
