Why BYOK

We don't markup AI.

Most AI tools charge 3–10× what Anthropic/OpenAI charge. We think that's broken. distro passes through AI at cost — you bring your own key and pay the provider directly.

Prefer not to manage keys? Every paid plan includes managed AI credits. Overages billed at provider cost plus 10% (just infrastructure).

Pricing FAQ

Ask us anything.

Billing, limits, refunds, taxes, enterprise — straight answers.

[email protected]
Yes — upgrade takes effect immediately (prorated). Downgrade takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle so you keep what you paid for. No switching fees, no waiting periods.

Start free.
Upgrade when it's obvious.

We'd rather you hit real limits than a fake paywall. Free forever for one app. Paid plans when distribution becomes a habit you can't live without.
