It's Codebuff Launch Week — Day 1: Usage-based Pricing
Hooray for Launch Week! Stay tuned each weekday for the launch of something brand new
Hey everyone!
Welcome to the first-ever Codebuff launch week! I’m super excited to ship something awesome everyday.
Usage-based Pricing
Today, we’re announcing pay-as-you-go pricing!
Instead of locking yourself into another monthly subscription, you can just buy credits and use them incrementally. That means you can top up with just $5 at a time, or optionally enable auto-top up.
Usage-based pricing was a top user request that we heard on a near-daily basis. Users want to control their spend and not waste money on credits they won’t use.
Additionally, you’ll continue to get free monthly credits. New accounts get 500 credits ($5 value) per month for free forever. Referring new users will get you 250 credits ($2.50 value) per month each! And all previous referral credits have been maintained. Free credits reset each month.
However, credits you purchase will never expire. You can sleep easy! Note that Codebuff passes on the actual cost of the API’s, plus a small margin.
Bonus: New website, checkpoints, choose your --model, browser logs
We shipped quite a few things since our last newsletter! I’ll highlight some here.
Snazzy new website
Check it out, it’s awesome. The new logo is a cute terminal character.
And if you scroll down, the competitors section is pure gold!
Checkpoints
Ever wish you could go back and tweak your prompt? Now you can!
Charles, our first hire, has built out a full checkpoint system so you can always undo changes and reset the conversation back to an earlier point.
Choose your own --model
You can start codebuff with your favorite model by providing it as a command line arg. This model will be used as the main coding agent!
While it’s fun to experiment with different main models, we do recommend sticking to the more well-tested modes: normal codebuff without any arguments, --lite, and --max.
Reading browser logs
Are you vibe-coding a website? Ever hit upon a console error that you had to copy and paste into Coebuff? No more!
Now Codebuff can check for console logs and errors and fix issues for you. This can even be used to debug issues if Codebuff inserts console.log() statements and checks the results.
This tool helps close the loop to allow Codebuff to do even more of your web development.
That’s all for now — see you again tomorrow for Day 2 of our Launch Week!
Cheers,
James
