Nearly every feature included. Pay mainly for how much you build.
There are almost no locked features here. Free, Starter, and Pro all come with nearly everything Tendril does. The main difference is how much building you can do each month. The one exception: bringing an existing project you made elsewhere into Tendril is a Starter or Pro feature, while on Free you create new projects from scratch.
Free Tier
Free Forever
- About 15 to 25 runs a month- a run is one round of asking Tendril to build or change something — bigger requests use a little more. A comfortable amount to try Tendril or keep one project moving. Daily limit refills every day; monthly limit refills on the 1st.
- Bring your own AI, or use your Claude subscription- works with Claude, GPT, or Gemini. Sign in with Claude Pro or Max, or add your own key. You pay your AI provider at their normal rates; Tendril never adds a markup.
- Run several projects side by side- build with up to 5 projects active at once.
- Remembers every project you build- the more you make, the smarter Tendril gets at your style and decisions.
- See your app run live and point at what's wrong- circle anything off and describe the fix in a sentence.
- Checks and fixes its own work, then suggests next steps- each project is reviewed before it's called done, and arrives with one-click improvements.
- Connect GitHub and your own tools- save your work, push it back, and plug in extra tools you use. Bringing in an existing project you made elsewhere is a Starter or Pro feature.
- Your projects stay on your computer- the only thing that ever leaves is what the AI you chose needs to see to do its work, sent straight to that provider. We never track your code or what you build.

Nearly every plan gets every feature
The main difference between Free, Starter, and Pro is how much you can build each month, not what you can build. The one feature difference: bringing an existing project you made elsewhere into Tendril is a Starter or Pro feature. If you reach your limit, your work pauses and picks back up after the next refill. Nothing else ever locks.
How much building per month
Free is about 15 to 25 runs.
Starter gives several times more headroom (about four times Free). Pro gives far more, effectively unlimited for one person.
How much you can build in a day
Each plan has a daily amount that refills every day, plus a larger monthly amount.
Higher plans simply give you more of both.
When you reach your limit
Your daily limit refills the next day and your monthly limit refills on the 1st.
Reaching a limit never takes features away. You can keep browsing, editing, and reviewing everything you've built.
Proven in a 120-run head-to-head test
We ran the same building tasks across 120 runs: Tendril against a single top AI working alone, on easy, medium, and hard tasks. On the easy and medium tasks the two came out close. On the hard one, Tendril pulled well ahead, and across all the tasks its quality was about 47% higher overall.
