# Pricing

What Cactus costs at launch: every team starts on Pro, free for 14 days, then keeps Pro at 100 USD a month or moves to Lite at 30.

Every team gets 14 days of Pro free, then keeps it or picks Lite.

## How it starts

### Day 1: Connect GitHub

Cactus reads the repositories you pick and writes your help site and What's New.

### Days 1 to 14: Pro, free

All of Pro, no card. Customers ask Cactus on your site, and every push updates the pages it touches.

### Day 15: Pick a plan

Keep Pro or move to Lite. Until then your help site stays up and Cactus pauses.

## Plans

### Pro: 100 USD a month

For teams that ship every day. The fastest models we run.

### Lite: 30 USD a month

For teams shipping a few times a week. Open models on Cloudflare. Same pages and answers, slower.

## Questions

### Do I need a card for the trial?

No. You add one when you pick a plan.

### What happens when the trial ends?

Your help site stays up, and Cactus stops writing and answering until you pick a plan.

### Do teammates cost extra?

No. Invite the whole team.

### Can I switch plans later?

Yes, either way, any time.

### Is our code used to train models?

No. The [privacy page](/privacy) says who else sees what Cactus reads.
