- Plan, fork, and direct Zide Assist work, searching session history and reviewing changes before they land.

- Upgrade when more workspace capacity, higher Zide Assist volume, or included monthly AI credits are needed, and keep the perpetual license earned after 12 continuous months.
Check before committing
- Amounts are shown with a $ sign but no named currency on the pricing page, so they are recorded as observations, not as currency-named facts.
- The perpetual license earned after 12 continuous months does not replace the subscription for ongoing updates, AI services, credits, and other subscription-based features.
- Annual prices ($100, $220, $695, $2,375) are billed annually and give a lower monthly price than monthly billing.
