Codebuff’s pricing page states a capped recurring free tier of 500 free credits monthly, then pay-as-you-go at 1¢ per credit after the free credits are used. Using the rule for free_credit/free_tier signals, the conservative monthly free-tier value is 500 × $0.01 = $5.00/month. The page does not explicitly say no credit card is required, so no_cc_required is false.

What's included in the free tier

  • 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.
