Question 1

How much does Bike4Mind cost?

Accepted Answer

Professional is $30/month with a transparent credit Balance included — honest math, 10,000 credits ≈ $10 of real model spend. Team is $100/month flat for up to 4 seats with one co-mingled Balance pool the whole team draws from — no per-seat tax. 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

Credits, with honest math printed in the open: 10,000 credits ≈ $10 of real model spend. Every model and API call draws from a transparent Balance, 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. Professional access starts at $30/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 the Business Source License 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, self-host the whole thing, and build and sell your own products on it — the only thing off-limits is a competing hosted Bike4Mind service.

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.
