Simple, honest pricing
Pro at $9/mo unlocks password-protected pastes. Everything else — the REST API, the MCP server for Claude, all paste durations, folders, and public profiles — is free, forever.
Share code that shouldn't be public. Pro adds password-protected pastes — the rest (unlimited documents, 5 MB per paste, premium image export, Collections when it ships) is gravy on top. Every developer feature that makes CodeThis useful at your terminal stays on Free.
No account? You can paste immediately — anonymous pastes are kept for 7 days, then auto-delete. Try it now →

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about CodeThis pricing.
No — you can paste and share immediately without an account. Anonymous pastes are stored for 7 days. Create a free account to keep pastes for longer (up to forever via the "Keep forever" toggle).
Pro's headline feature is password protection — share code with a client, colleague, or open PR reviewer without publishing it to the open web. On top of that, Pro lifts the limits (unlimited documents, 5 MB per paste) and unlocks premium image export (3× retina, WebP, custom backgrounds, no watermark). Free still covers the everyday developer workflow: public, unlisted, and private pastes; folders; public profiles; the REST API; and the MCP server for Claude.
Yes. Cancel from Settings → Billing. Your Pro features remain active until the end of the billing period, then the account moves back to Free.
Yes. Every registered account can create API keys for the REST API and MCP server. Free accounts get 2 keys, Pro accounts get 20. Both are subject to rate limits; Pro gets a higher ceiling.
