Yes, it really is free! It’s not a trial and it’s free forever. Bito’s Free plan comes with 20 AI requests per day, the ability to handle requests in many spoken and coding languages, the use of templates, and many other features.  We will continue to improve this plan and you never have to upgrade to a paid plan.   

On the Free plan, you get limited access (20 AI requests per day) to GPT-3.5 and similar models (such as OpenAI GPT-3.5 and Anthropic Claude Instant and some of Google’s new models).  On the 10x plan, you get 400 GPT-4 requests per month, unlimited access to GPT-3.5 and similar models. Bito chooses the model we think will provide the best combination of speed and quality for you.  

There is no catch.  We provide Bito free of charge because it helps drive usage and awareness of Bito and some of our users do upgrade to our paid plans, maybe even you!  You might even introduce Bito to your colleagues at work.  But until then, please go nuts on our Free plan.  Many other great services on the web such as Gmail or Postman or Snyk also have Free forever plans.  

In our Free plan Bito provides you access to GPT-3.5 and other similar models (such as Anthropic Claude Instant).  Bito chooses which model to use based on the task you are performing, and what will provide the best speed and quality of output.  In our Paid plans you have access to GPT-3.5, but also the best AI models available in the world such as GPT-4 and Anthropic’s Claude v1.3 model which can handle contexts up to 100,000 tokens and is particularly adept at consuming entire files or directories.  You will have a toggle in the UI, similar to ChatGPT Plus, which allows you to choose between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 when you are using our paid plan.    

On the 10x plan, you get unlimited access to GPT-3.5 and similar models (such as OpenAI GPT-3.5 and Anthropic Claude Instant and some of Google’s new models).  Also, you also get 400 requests monthly included to the GPT-4 model and other Best in Class models (such as OpenAI’s GPT-4 or Anthropic’s Claude v1.3 which can handle contexts up to 100,000 tokens). You will have a toggle in the UI, similar to ChatGPT Plus, which allows you to choose between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4.   When you exceed your 400 GPT-4 requests, each request counts as an “additional request” and you are billed USD$0.10 per request, at the end of the month.  For example, if you had 450 GPT-4 requests in the month, your first 400 are included, and then your additional 50 would cost you $5 more for the month.   

Each request you make to Bito when you have the toggle set to GPT-4 will count as an additional request, once you exceed your included 400 monthly requests.  This is each request, not each chat session.  For example, if you have 4 requests in one chat session that would cost US$0.40 (4 x $0.10 per request). 

When you sign-up for a paid plan, you will be billed for the current month.  For example, if you signed up on July 10th, you would be charged for the month of July, pro-rated for the two-thirds period of July you are actually signed up (July 10 – July 30th).  Then, in early August, you would be charged for any additional requests you had in July (see above if you have questions about “additional requests”) and also charged your base monthly fee for the month of August for your 10x plan.  To continue the example, in early September you would be charged for any additional requests you had in August, and charged for the month of September.   

Yes, you can do this.  Please login at https://alpha.bito.ai and if you are an admin you can invite more users or add them to your account.  You will be charged based on what plan they are subscribed too, all users in a given workspace must be on the same plan.  

You are NOT charged different amounts for the length and complexity of AI requests.  All requests are charged the same price.   

The Free plan allows you to try out Bito’s capabilities to understand your codebase, but you are limited to the use of GPT-3.5, 2 repos per month, and those repos cannot be larger than 10MB in total size, including code and non-code artifacts (such as images) in the repo. On the 10x plan, Bito can index and search across repos of unlimited size.  All of the indexes are stored locally on your machine, and Bito never stores your code on its machines or uses it for training.  

On Bito’s free plan, users can utilize up to 100 AI Code Completions each month, with a daily limit of 10 completions. In contrast, subscribers to the 10X plan enjoy unlimited access Code Completions. Code Completions have 2 different flavors. The first flavor is that as you start typing a line of code, Bito will use AI to automatically and quickly complete your line of code.  Bito will take into account parts of your current codebase, so it knows your functions, libraries, and objects.  The second form of Code Completions will allow Bito to complete entire blocks of code, functions, or classes based on a comment in your code file you provide Bito.   

Sorry, but you can’t purchase features a-la-carte. We’ve carefully designed our plans to align with different phases of your software development journey.  If you want a specific feature, there’s a good chance you’ll benefit from what’s on the next tier up.  That being said, our pricing plans are relatively new, and we will continuously review them.  Please reach out to support@bito.ai if you have any suggestions.  

Today, we only offer monthly plans.  Because our paid plans are new, we want to get feedback, before offering annual plans.  We hope in late 2023 or in 2024 to offer annual plans. Please reach out to support@bito.ai if you have any suggestions.  

Absolutely, you can cancel, downgrade, or upgrade your plan at any time.  If you do cancel your paid plan will be valid until the end of the month.  We do not offer refunds.
