FAQ

The short answers that matter.

Everything else lives in the docs.

Buying

Launch and license

When can I buy it?
Sales are not open yet. The commercial build opens only after local release acceptance and operator launch approval.
What will it cost?
The planned individual subscription includes a 14-day card-required trial, then $20/month or $200/year, or €20/month or €200/year, plus applicable tax. AI-provider subscriptions and API usage are separate.
What happens if I cancel or a payment fails?
Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period. Failed renewals receive a seven-day warning grace. After access expires, CrazyToad becomes read-only so you can view history, manage billing, and export data; security-only updates remain available.
How do I report a bug or request a feature?
Raise an account-scoped ticket in the app or web portal. Support is best effort with no guaranteed response or delivery time.
Setup & providers

Install, models, servers

What OS does it run on?
Windows is the launch target.
Is this the same as Claude Code?
No. A single CLI is one worker; CrazyToad is the coordinating brain that runs many workers in parallel.
Do I need separate AI subscriptions or API keys?
Yes. CrazyToad does not include AI compute. It coordinates the provider subscriptions, API keys, CLI logins, and local models you configure.
Can it use local models?
Yes. Local Ollama lanes live in Accounts and can be routed for jobs that fit.
Can I run agents on my own servers?
Yes. A one-line install turns your own Linux box into a hardened agent — confined to a workspace, non-root, behind a deny-list and a cost cap. Run it on as many of your own hosts as you like.
Privacy

Local-first posture

Does CrazyToad send my code anywhere?
CrazyToad has no product-usage analytics. Code, prompts, and files stay local unless you deliberately send them through a configured AI provider, remote agent, support report, or other integration. The account service records commerce and entitlement reliability events, never your code or feature usage.
