Pricing
Pay for the tool, not for your own AI usage
Every plan uses your own AI provider key, so your usage is billed at cost by the provider and never marked up by us. That is why a licence costs as little as it does.

Your AI costs
What you actually pay your provider
An interview is mostly listening. CoderCue only sends text to your provider, and it sends the same opening context every time — which is exactly the pattern provider prompt caching is built for.
A cache hit costs roughly one fiftieth of a cache miss on DeepSeek. Because your playbook, instructions and knowledge base sit at the front of the prompt and never change mid-session, the tenth answer in a round costs a small fraction of the first. In practice a full session lands in the low cents, and you can see the cached and uncached token counts in the session status line.
How the two costs split
- Us — the app, the offline transcription, the playbooks and the invisibility. A flat monthly price, with nothing renewing.
- Your provider — the AI tokens, billed to your card at their published rates, with no margin added by us.
- Nothing else — no transcription service, no storage service, no per-minute audio charge.
If you stop paying us, you have lost nothing but the app: your provider key, your sources and your session history all belong to you and stay on your machine.
One key, one machine
Your licence activates on a single computer. The first activation binds it to that machine, and the same key cannot run on a second one at the same time.
Move it when you upgrade
Replacing or rebuilding a PC is normal. Release the old machine and activate the new one yourself — no ticket, no waiting for support to reset anything.
Offline grace period
Your entitlement is cached locally, so a venue with hostile wifi cannot end your session. The app only needs to reach the licence server occasionally.
Instant delivery
Your key is emailed the moment payment clears — no waiting for a human, no manual fulfilment queue, at any hour.
Nothing renews behind your back
You buy a key for one month. There is no recurring billing, no stored card and nothing to cancel — when the term ends you decide whether to buy another.
Expiry means free mode, not lockout
When a licence runs out the app drops to the free plan rather than refusing to open. Your history, sources and settings stay exactly where they were.
Billing questions
Before you buy
Anything not answered here is answered by a human in the Discord server — ask before you buy and you will get a straight answer.
All questionsWhat is the difference between Standard and Invisible?
Standard is unlimited live assistance with everything except the invisibility layer. Invisible adds screen-capture exclusion, so the window cannot be seen in a recording or a screen share on the same machine. Both include every playbook, the knowledge base, unlimited sessions and unlimited history.
Is it a subscription?
No. You buy a licence for a fixed term — one month at a time — with no recurring billing and no card kept on file. When the term runs out the app drops to the free plan and you buy another key if you want to carry on. Nothing renews behind your back.
How do I activate my licence?
Your key arrives by email the moment payment clears. Open CoderCue, go to Settings, paste the key and press Activate. The first activation binds the licence to that machine.
Can I use one licence on two computers?
A licence activates on one machine at a time. If you replace or rebuild your computer you can move the licence to the new machine yourself from the licence page — the previous machine is released automatically.
What happens if I am offline for a while?
Nothing. CoderCue caches your entitlement locally and keeps working for a grace period without reaching the licence server, because an interview should never stop because the venue wifi dropped.
Do you offer refunds?
No — licences are sold as final sales. The free plan exists so you can decide before paying rather than after, and anything we get wrong — a duplicate charge, a key that never arrived, a key that will not activate — is put right in full. Rights you have under your own country's consumer law are unaffected.
