Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a subscription?

Nope. The free tier is free forever with your own API keys. Pro is a one-time $29 purchase. Cloud token buckets never expire. We hate subscriptions as much as you do.

What's the difference between BYOK and Cloud?

BYOK means you configure your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini API key and pay the provider directly. Cloud means we handle all the LLM calls — you just buy token buckets from us.

Can I use it commercially on the free tier?

The free tier is for personal projects. For business use — whether consulting, internal tooling, or team environments — you need the Pro or Team license.

What happens when my token bucket runs out?

ShellAI will prompt you to purchase more tokens. We never automatically charge you — every purchase requires your explicit action.

Do cloud tokens expire?

Never. Token buckets don't have an expiry date. Use them at your own pace, whether that's a week or a year.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, absolutely. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all paid purchases with no questions asked. Just email hello@shellai.dev.

Is there a student discount?

Yes! Email us from your .edu address for a 50% discount on Pro licenses. Students and academics get the full product at half price.

What support do I get?

Free tier: GitHub Issues and our Discord community. Pro & Team: Priority email support with a guaranteed 24-hour response from a human. Enterprise: dedicated support engineer.
