Yes! Pro comes with a 14-day free trial. No credit card required to start. You can upgrade to a paid subscription anytime during or after your trial.
Your data is always yours. If you downgrade, you'll retain access to your projects but some Pro features will be limited. You can export all your data at any time.
Yes — all plans use Bring Your Own Key (BYOK). You create a free Anthropic account, generate an API key, and add it to your OuterBot settings. This means you pay Anthropic directly with zero markup from us.
Most AI coding tools charge $20–50/month and mark up API costs 2–5x. OuterBot charges only for the platform, and you pay Anthropic directly at their published rates. Full transparency, no hidden costs.
In VS Code, AI tools like Claude Code can ignore context injection — MCP tools are optional, hooks don't always fire, and instructions get skipped. In the Web IDE, we control the entire stack: context is injected on every turn, pre-flight checks run before every file write, and sessions persist across restarts. The "never lose context" promise is guaranteed, not hoped for.
Yes! Students and educators get 50% off Pro. Contact us with your .edu email address to receive your discount code.
Absolutely. Upgrade or downgrade at any time. When upgrading, you'll get immediate access. When downgrading, changes take effect at the next billing cycle.
Yes. OuterBot is local-first - your code and data stay on your machine. Cloud plan data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We never sell your data.
