Frequently Asked Questions
How do the plans work?
Our plans are feature-based with pay-as-you-go token usage. Each plan includes free credits to get started, then you pay only for what you use. Base provides project-wide AI assistance, Build adds external datasource control, and Beyond includes all AI models and MCP tool integration.
What are the free credits?
Every plan includes free credits when you sign up: Base ($5), Build ($10), and Beyond ($20). Build and Beyond plans also include additional credits when you upgrade ($5 and $10 respectively). These credits cover your initial usage and help you explore BB's capabilities.
How does token pricing work?
After your free credits, you pay transparent, provider-based token costs. Token usage varies by task complexity and model choice. You can monitor usage in the app and set spending limits to control costs. Credits are purchased in $5 minimum increments and expire after 12 months.
What's the difference between external datasource read-only vs read-write?
Read-only (Base plan) lets BB pull context from your Notion, Google Docs, GitHub, and other external sources. Read-write (Build and Beyond plans) enables BB to actually update your external datasources—edit Notion pages, update Google Docs, manage GitHub issues, and more.
Can I change my plan later?
Yes! Plan upgrades are immediate with prorated billing. Plan downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing month, so you keep your current plan benefits until then. All plan changes can be made through the desktop application.
What is local-only mode?
Local-only mode lets you use Beyond Better without a BB account by supplying your own LLM API key. With Ollama integration, you can even run completely offline. This mode includes filesystem access and MCP tool integration but not external datasource connections. Learn more about local-only mode.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards via Stripe. Enterprise customers can arrange for invoice payments. All prices are in US dollars. No credit card is required for signup—you can explore BB with free credits first.
