Pricing

Simple, calm pricing for developers.

Birdor is being built in public. While we're still shaping the product and platform, most tools are free to use. As we add more advanced features and APIs, pricing will stay:

  • predictable and easy to understand
  • developer-first (no dark patterns or surprise bills)
  • fair for both indie builders and small teams

Early access · All tools are currently free

During the early stages of Birdor, all foundation tools (JSON, URL, JWT, and more) are free for personal and commercial use, with no login and no credit card required.

When paid plans launch, core utilities will remain free. Paid tiers will focus on advanced capabilities like hosted APIs, higher limits, and team features — never on locking away basic functionality.

Pricing philosophy & FAQ

Will the free tools stay free?

Yes. Foundation tools like JSON formatters, URL parsers, and other client-side utilities are meant to be part of the public utility layer of the web. They will remain free and accessible without an account.

What will you charge money for?

Paid plans will focus on things that consume real infrastructure cost: hosted APIs, automation, team features, and higher limits. In other words, you pay when Birdor is doing ongoing work for you in the background — not just when you open a tool once in a while.

How do you avoid surprise bills?

Birdor will ship with clear limits, soft caps, and alerts. The goal is to keep billing boring, predictable, and transparent. If a plan isn't a good fit, it should be obvious from the docs and dashboard — not from a scary invoice.

I'm an indie dev / student. Will there be discounts?

Yes. Birdor exists to support individual builders. There will be generous free tiers and likely discounted or extended Pro plans for students, indie developers, and open-source maintainers.
