FAQ

Frequently asked questions about pricing

What does "founding pricing" mean?

Founding pricing is the rate available to early supporters of Recursive. Your subscription renews at the price you signed up at, for as long as you keep it active. Standard pricing applies for new subscribers later.

Do I have to pay for commercial use?

No. You are not required to pay for a commercial license, however if you are using Recursive for work in an organization we encourage you to purchase a commercial license to keep Recursive independent and 100% user-supported.

What is your refund policy?

We offer full refunds within 7 days of purchase with no questions asked for Remote Access. Supporter and Commercial licenses are non-refundable.

Do you store, access, or process user data?

Recursive runs locally on your machine. Your code, sessions, and project data never leave your device unless you explicitly use Remote Access, which is secured with end-to-end encryption.

What does the Supporter license grant?

A Supporter license activates Recursive during Early Access, gives you ongoing access to beta builds, and includes every update released during your year. Supporters play a vital role in helping Recursive remain 100% user-supported, free from investor influence.
