What does it cost?

The listed option is free to use. Hosting or model usage may still cost money.

The MIT app is free to install. Ollama or LM Studio can provide local inference without a paid API; models and their licenses are separate downloads and local hardware is required. Hosted provider calls can incur the provider’s own charges. Application license: MIT. This does not grant the license for separately downloaded model weights; check a model's license and compatibility independently.

Provider pricing checked 3 Nov 2026.

Model license and local hardware

Local inference can avoid a paid model API when this app is connected to a compatible local model. The app license does not license model weights. One example is Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct-GGUF, whose separate weight license is Apache-2.0; compatibility and download requirements depend on the app’s supported runtime. Other models may have different terms. Model downloads, storage and local hardware are separate costs.
