About

Codebuff is an AI coding assistant designed to work directly in the terminal and help developers make changes across an entire codebase. It indexes project structure quickly, understands dependencies and patterns, and generates code edits that fit the existing repository context.

The product is positioned for developers who want higher-quality output and faster iteration on coding tasks, with support for multi-turn workflows and precise, surgical changes. It integrates into existing terminal-based workflows with a simple global npm install and works across tech stacks without special environments.

This page does not show any free tier, free credits, or trial period, so there is no defensible monthly value to assign. The cheapest paid option is $100/mo, but without a concrete free allowance there is nothing to compare against; a credit card is also not explicitly waived.

What's included in the free tier

Verified

  • 500 free credits monthly, with pay-as-you-go billing after the free credits are used.
  • Credits are consumed based on task complexity, so simple queries use fewer credits than complex changes.
  • Visibility into how many credits each task consumes before running it.
