Switching
A free tier designed as a hook removes the thing you will eventually need, so the moment the business starts working is the moment the software starts costing. That is not a price. It is a toll on growing.
The Free Gate is a real free operating relationship, with no card and no trial. Paid plans add named operating packs, and say exactly which ones before you pay.
A free operating relationship that is real rather than a countdown to a bill.
What you use on the Free Gate stays free. Paid plans add named operating packs. Driftless does not sell AI tokens.
A boot check stops the product from starting if the free tier is ever priced above nothing, and running out of credit falls back to an answer rather than a paywall.
Use the part you assumed would be paid.
You were never charged, so there is nothing to unwind.

The Free Gate tier is free, permanently, and you do not need a credit card to start. The Free Gate is $0 forever. No credit card is required.. Paying for a higher tier buys more volume and more leverage — it never unlocks a capability we were holding back.
If it turns out not to be for you, you have paid nothing and there is nothing to cancel.
