Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Contral for free?
Yes! The free plan includes 100 AI messages per day, 5 code explanations, and auto-fix — enough for casual learning. You can also bring your own API keys for unlimited usage on any plan.
What is BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)?
BYOK lets you use your own API keys from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google. With your own keys, you get unlimited usage regardless of your plan — you only pay the provider directly.
Why Contral over Cursor or Copilot?
Cursor and Copilot write code for you. Contral teaches you to write code yourself — with AI explanations, learning paths, and deep dives. You build real projects while actually understanding what the code does. Plus, BYOK means you can use it for free with your own keys.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time from the billing portal. You'll retain access until the end of your current billing period. No questions asked.
How long does the launch discount last?
The 50% off monthly and up to 70% off annual pricing is available for the first 100 users only. Once all spots are claimed, prices go back to full. Grab it while it lasts.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept credit/debit cards, UPI (India), PayPal, and local payment methods in 50+ countries.
Is my code safe?
Contral runs entirely on your machine. Your code never leaves your computer — AI calls only send the relevant context snippets, and you can see exactly what's sent.
