Tier comparison

Bridge ships five tiers. Every higher tier is a strict superset of the lower ones — no feature is removed when you upgrade.

Free — a notes app with a graph that helps you see what you've been thinking about.
Discover — Free, plus an AI that connects related notes into themes for you.
Build — Discover, plus turn this idea into a plan in one tap.
Refine — Build, plus a co-pilot that edits your plans through chat, with your approval on every diff.
Refine LTD — Refine, forever, one payment.

¹ Free can open one chat once you've added your own API key.

BYOAPI: what your subscription buys

Bridge's subscription is an access fee for the workspace — not an AI markup. You supply your own API key from Anthropic, Gemini, or OpenAI. AI charges go directly to your provider account at their standard rates. No middleman markup, no surprise bills from Bridge.

The Free tier is genuinely free: no AI runs on it by default (no expansion, no clustering), so your only cost is your time. If you add your own API key, you can open one ask-only chat — that uses your key, just like any AI feature.

Bridge is one entitlement

If you buy Refine on web and sign into the mobile app, you get Refine on mobile. If you buy Build on iOS and sign into the web, you get Build on the web. One entitlement, surfaced everywhere.
