Question 1

How much does Bike4Mind cost?

Accepted Answer

Individual is $15/month and includes $10 of usage as a transparent Balance (real dollars, not credits). Team is $20 per user/month with a shared Balance pool. Enterprise is a custom flat license deployed in your own AWS, with bring-your-own model keys at 0% markup. There is no free tier.

Question 2

Does Bike4Mind use credits or dollars?

Accepted Answer

Dollars. Bike4Mind retired credits in favor of a transparent Balance shown in real dollars — every model and API call shows its actual cost, you set a hard spend ceiling, and the markup falls as you scale (20% to 10% to 5%), or 0% if you bring your own keys.

Question 3

Is there a free tier or free trial?

Accepted Answer

No free tier — by design. Bike4Mind focuses entirely on paying customers so resources aren't spent chasing freeloaders. Agents and bots are welcome to try (see bike4mind.com/agents); production use just needs a key. Individual access starts at $15/month, and you can run real code with no account on the in-browser Python demo at bike4mind.com/features.

Question 4

Can I self-host Bike4Mind / does my data leave?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bike4Mind deploys in your own AWS account with full source. Your data never leaves your cloud, you hold the encryption keys, and inference can run on AWS Bedrock or self-hosted open-weight models so no third-party model vendor is ever in the data path.

Question 5

Is Bike4Mind open source?

Accepted Answer

Bike4Mind is open core: source-available today under FSL 1.1, converting to Apache-2.0 in two years, locked by a published covenant so it cannot be quietly relicensed. You can read it, run it, and self-host the whole thing.

Question 6

Can I bring my own API key (BYOK)?

Accepted Answer

Yes — bring your own model provider keys and pay 0% markup. Use your keys or ours; the more you use, the lower the rate.

Question 7

What AI models does Bike4Mind support?

Accepted Answer

60+ models across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, and Meta, plus any open-weight model you self-host via Ollama. Switch between them mid-conversation through one interface.

Question 8

Is Bike4Mind HIPAA, SOC 2, and GDPR compliant?

Accepted Answer

Bike4Mind is architected for regulated workloads: deployed in your own AWS (or GovCloud), PHI never leaves your cloud, your KMS keys, full audit logging, and no prompt or response retention. Compliance is operated as a continuous program; request the security package for BAA terms and current SOC 2 status.

Question 9

Does Bike4Mind have an API and a CLI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is a REST API, a published command-line tool (npm i -g @bike4mind/cli), and MCP support as both host and server. See bike4mind.com/for-developers and /agents.

Question 10

Can I import my ChatGPT and Claude history?
