Free forever. Pro keeps it alive.
The free build is fully functional and reproducible from source — it is not crippled to sell you Pro. Pro funds the upkeep and gets you a maintained build plus a direct line to the person who makes it.

Everything in Free, plus:
- The maintained, always-current build — latest Chromium and the newest anti-detection patches, kept up to date for you.

Straight talk about what you're paying for.
Clearcote is a Chromium fork. Keeping it current with upstream, porting the anti-detection work to every new version, testing it, and building for two platforms is a lot of ongoing effort — mostly mine. $49/month pays for that. You get a build that stays up to date without you lifting a finger, a handful of patches I don't publish, and a direct line to the person who builds it. That's the whole deal — no lock-in, no dark patterns, and the free build stays open and reproducible.
Pricing questions
Is the free build crippled to sell Pro?
No. The free build has full engine-level fingerprint control and is reproducible from source. Pro is a maintained build + support + a few private patches — not a paywall on core features.
Is the Pro build reproducible?
No, and I won't pretend otherwise. Pro includes a few patches I don't publish, so it can't be rebuilt from public source. The free build stays 100% open and reproducible.
What does “direct email support” mean?
You email me, the owner, and I answer — build questions, detection issues, integration help. Not a ticket queue.
How does concurrency work?
Pro is unlimited concurrent instances. Each running browser leases a slot from the license server and releases it on close; there's a live meter in your dashboard.
Can I cancel?
Anytime, from the billing portal in your dashboard. You keep access until the end of the period.
