Start free. Upgrade when you need more.

Same tools on both. Solo is for one developer who pays for it themselves. Business is for when your company pays. It adds an invoice and puts your bug reports and feature requests first.

Free needs an account. You get the tools in development builds and in Desktop, with limits. Your AI can also read the screen, tap and run flows through the MCP. It can run Buoy Optimize too, with no cap on speed tests or sims. Paid plans add the full MCP, higher limits, more controls and release builds. Flutter works in debug builds only.

Yes. Solo is free while you study. Make a free account, then email support@buoy.gg from that address and name your school or bootcamp. We upgrade your account by hand, and you don't need a card.

You get the paid features free for 14 days. You add a card to start, and nothing is charged until day 14. Cancel from your dashboard before then and you pay nothing.

If you keep your plan, the first charge is on day 14. If you cancel, you go back to Free. Paid features lock, and your data stays.

Yes, from your dashboard. Cancel during the trial and you pay nothing. Cancel later and you keep paid features until the end of the time you paid for.

Yes. For 30 days you can email us for a refund, and we won't ask why.

Yes, and it's not a sale. Outside a short list of high-income countries, Solo is $12 a month or $120 a year. Checkout applies it based on where you are, and it stays when you renew. Business is the same price everywhere, because a company pays for it.

Yes, and you don't need to call us. Pick your seat count on the Business card and checkout prices it for you. Seats 1 to 9 are $60 each, seats 10 to 19 are $50 each, and seats 20 to 49 are $45 each. At 50 seats or more, email support@buoy.gg for one flat price that covers everyone. Ask us for SSO and one place to manage seats.

No. Solo and Business come with AI credits each week. Solo gets about 500 asks a week. Business gets about 1,000 asks a week per seat, and the team shares them. The free trial gets about 200 asks once. Ask Buoy isn't on the Free plan.

You pick Claude Haiku 5.5 or GPT-6 Luna. Claude is the default. GPT uses fewer credits. If your pick is down, the other one answers. Change it in the app or on your dashboard.

Your credits come back every Monday. Until then, you can use your own AI key.

Yes. Buoy's servers never receive the data your app captures. Your app contacts Buoy to check your account, and React Native sends optional install telemetry during development. If you turn on Desktop sync, captured data goes to the sync broker you set up. AI features send it to the model you choose. Hosted Ask Buoy sends your chat through Buoy's AI server to Claude or GPT.

Anyone who can open Buoy in your app, including sensitive values in requests, storage and app state. Limit who can open it and protect actions on your server. Check exports and AI chats before you share them.

Yes, if you lock it down. With Solo or Business, some React Native tools run in release builds. Limit who can open Buoy in your app, and check special actions on your server. Release sync needs its own setup step. Flutter tools run in debug builds only.

It can. Some tools keep recording while the menu is closed. The cost depends on which tools you install, your app's traffic, how much data it keeps and your sync setup. Measure it in your own app on real devices.
