OWNERSHIP. PRIVACY. CONTROL.

Your code.
Your work. Your control.

Build with confidence, with clear ownership, protected provider keys, and a workspace you manage.

Your work stays yours.

You retain ownership of the code and content you bring to Bidtry. We do not claim ownership of your projects.

About your work

Protected provider keys.

Provider API keys are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Connect your tools using a separate Bidtry website key.

Manage your keys

A workspace you control.

Your account has a separate workspace for provider keys, conversations, and usage. Choose free access or connect your own providers.

Choose your connection

Know what you share.

Your prompts and attached content are sent to model providers to generate responses. Their terms and data practices apply. Choose what you share, keep secrets out of prompts, and review generated code before using it.

A FEW THINGS, CLEARED UP.

Good questions.
Simple answers.

Who owns my code and work?+

You retain ownership of code and content you provide to Bidtry. Bidtry does not claim ownership of your projects. AI-generated output remains subject to the model provider’s terms and any third-party rights. Review generated code and content before using or publishing it.

What can I use for free?+

Create a free account to use the available Bidtry-sponsored models without adding your own provider API key. You can use them in Playground and through compatible clients with your Bidtry website key. The dashboard shows the current free selection; it does not include every provider’s paid model or subscription.

What does unlimited mean?+

Bidtry does not impose a daily request cap on sponsored model requests. Provider rate limits, service capacity, account access, and model availability still apply. This is not a guarantee of uninterrupted or error-free service.

Can I use my own provider API key?+

Yes. Add your provider key in your private dashboard. When it has a ready model, your own provider access takes priority and sponsored access turns off automatically. Your provider’s pricing and limits apply. Keep using your separate Bidtry website key in coding tools and SDKs.

How do I get started on Mac or Windows?+

Open How to install from the menu. Choose your coding app and operating system, then follow the copyable instructions. Mac users use Terminal; Windows users use PowerShell. Linux is supported too. You can also start in Playground without installing anything.

How do I keep my API keys safe?+

Keep your API keys private. Enter provider keys only in your Keys page, and use your separate Bidtry website key in trusted coding tools. Avoid putting keys in public repositories, screenshots, or shared chats. Review code and terminal commands before running them.

Which coding tools can I connect?+

Bidtry provides setup for Claude Code, Codex, Cline, Continue, Aider, Cursor, OpenCode, and other compatible tools. Install your chosen client and follow its setup guide.
