plottypus is a live reviewer for your Claude Code sessions. Free trial, no card. Paid plans are not open yet; when they open, INR 3,299 a month for 25 hours of review, hard-capped, with cancelling in one click.

Effective 22 October 2026. Version 2026-10-22.

Status, 22 October 2026: the free trial is open and no payment is taken. The monthly plan is not on sale; the sections about it apply only once we open it. If your trial ends before then, write to hello@plottypus.com.

Who you’re dealing with#

plottypus is operated by Lay Sheth. These terms are an agreement between you and Lay Sheth (trading as plottypus), an individual and sole proprietor in India, Siddharth Nagar, Indore 452009, Madhya Pradesh, India (“we”, “us”). Contact for everything: hello@plottypus.com.

Outside India, once Paddle is live, Paddle.com is the merchant of record and the seller to you, and Paddle’s buyer terms apply to the purchase. We still provide the service under these terms. Paddle is not live yet.

You agree to these terms by ticking the box at sign-up. The privacy policy explains how we handle your data.

Who can use it#

• You must be 18 or older.
• Until Paddle is live, we sell only to buyers in India. We don’t sell to people in the EU or UK yet.
• If you sign up for a business, you confirm you can bind it, and “you” includes the business.
• You can’t use plottypus if the law where you live forbids it, or if we closed your account before for breaking these terms.

Your account#

• One account per person. Don’t share your sign-in or machine tokens.
• Keep your email current; billing and service notices go there.
• You’re responsible for what happens under your account and on machines you connect. Tell us at once if you think someone else is using it.

What plottypus does#

• You install the plottypus CLI and connect a machine. The CLI adds hooks to Claude Code there and sends your session’s events to our server: prompts, tool calls and output, command lines and output, file contents before and after edits, diffs, and subagent prompts and reports.
• Our server reviews the session with an AI model from Anthropic. The reviewer can ask your machine to read files inside the session’s folders and run only read-only git diff, log, blame and show. It can’t run any other command.
• Findings show in the dashboard and are sent back into your Claude Code session.
• What is sent, where, and for how long is in the privacy policy.

What you control: pause a machine (plottypus pause), keep a folder out (plottypus exclude <path>), disconnect a machine in the dashboard or with plottypus logout (it stops sending; its sessions stay until you delete them, and deletion runs 7 days after you ask, with undo until then), or run plottypus uninstall to remove the hooks, stop the CLI, revoke its token and delete its local files. The binary stays until you delete it.

Limits of the service#

• The review is done by AI and can be wrong. It can miss bugs and security problems, flag things that are fine, or suggest changes that break your code.
• We don’t promise it will catch any bug, vulnerability or mistake. It is advice, not an audit, certification or security test.
• You stay responsible for your code: what you write, run, merge and ship, and whether to act on a finding.
• Keep folders you must not share out of review with plottypus exclude <path> or a .plottypusignore file; files your .gitignore ignores are never read.
• We provide the service as is, with reasonable care, but no uptime promise and no service level agreement. We’ll tell you before removing something you pay for.
• plottypus depends on Claude Code and on Anthropic. If they change or stop working, parts of plottypus may stop. If that stops the service, we refund you (see Suspension and termination).

Free trial#

• 7 days or 10 hours of review, whichever ends first.
• It starts when your first machine connects.
• No card or payment details needed.
• It never turns into a paid plan by itself. When it ends, reviews stop and nothing is charged. You keep access to the dashboard and your data, for the periods in the privacy policy.
• One trial per person.
• The monthly plan is not on sale yet. If your trial ends before it opens, write to hello@plottypus.com.

The monthly plan#

Not on sale yet. This section applies once we open it; until then nothing can be bought or charged.

Price. INR 3,299 a month in India, to be charged through Razorpay. That is the total: no GST is charged, because we are not GST-registered, and our invoices show no GSTIN. Outside India, USD 39 a month through Paddle plus any tax Paddle adds at checkout, once Paddle is live; until then checkout will accept INR only.

Hours. Each month includes 25 hours of review. An hour is one hour of session time that plottypus watches and reviews, as metered in your dashboard. At 25 hours, reviews stop until your next billing date. We never charge for extra hours, and there are no extra charges. Claude Code itself keeps working. You can set a lower cap in Settings. Unused hours don’t carry over.

Renewal. Your plan will renew every month on the date you subscribed, at the same price, until you cancel. You will agree to this with its own checkbox when you subscribe, and we will email you the price, the renewal date and how to cancel.

How we will charge. In India you will set up a UPI Autopay or card mandate at checkout, with your bank’s extra authentication. Your bank will show a mandate of up to INR 3,299 a month. We will charge the first month at once, then on each renewal date. You will get a pre-debit notice at least 24 hours before each charge, and you can stop that charge or the mandate from it. If a payment fails, we may retry for up to 7 days; reviews pause if it still fails.

Cancelling. One click, once plans open: Dashboard → Billing → Cancel plan. It will stop all future charges and cancel the Razorpay mandate (or the Paddle subscription); you won’t need to contact your bank. You keep your plan to the end of the paid period, and we email a confirmation.

Refunds. See the refunds page: a full refund within 14 days of your first payment, for any reason.

Price changes. We email you at least 30 days before a price change. A price increase applies only if you agree. If you don’t, your plan ends at the end of the paid period and nothing more is charged. A decrease applies from your next renewal.

Founding members. If you paid for a founding seat before 14 October 2026, you bought a one-time seat in a product we no longer offer. Your founding refund promise stays as it was. We’ll email you to choose a full refund, or credit for the full amount you paid, taken off your monthly plan until it is used up. Until you choose, nothing is charged.

Acceptable use#

You agree:

• to send only code and data you have the right to share with us and with Anthropic for review, and to follow your employer’s or client’s rules before connecting a machine that holds their code;
• not to connect, or to pause or exclude, repositories with secrets you can’t rotate or other people’s sensitive personal data (such as health, financial or government ID data);
• not to use plottypus for anything unlawful, or anything Anthropic’s Usage Policy forbids;
• not to probe, overload, reverse-engineer or get around the limits, caps or security of the service, or use it to build a competing product;
• not to resell, share or sublicense your account or hours.

Your code and data#

• You own your code and your findings. We claim no rights in them.
• You give us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to copy, store, send and process your session data only to provide the service to you, for as long as the privacy policy says we keep it.
• We don’t train models on your code or session data, and we don’t sell it. Model training is turned off in the Anthropic account that runs the reviews. Unless you turn it off, we keep your reviewed sessions and code to improve plottypus (next point).
• Help improve plottypus (on unless you turn it off). The switch is shown, on, when you connect a machine; you can turn it off there, later in Settings, per project, or with plottypus share off. While it is on, you give us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to copy, store and use the session records, code snapshots and commits you share, only to test, evaluate and improve plottypus, for as long as the privacy policy says we keep them. We never sell them, never publish them, never share them except with the providers that run plottypus (such as AWS and the review model), and never use them, or let anyone use them, to train a third party’s general AI model. We may publish results that show none of your code or prompts. Turning it off stops new sharing; deleting what you’ve shared, or your account, ends this licence for what is deleted. You still own your code.
• While sharing is on for code that belongs to your employer, a client or anyone else, you confirm you’re allowed to share it with us for this purpose. If you’re not sure, turn sharing off for that project or check with them first. If you own code that someone shared without permission, email us and we delete it.
• Product metrics. We record content-free metrics about how the service runs: counts, timings, versions and outcomes, with paths hashed and no code, prompts or file contents (see the privacy policy). They are part of the service and stay on while your account is open.
• Ratings. When you mark a finding Helpful or Not a problem, or rate a review, we may use that rating and any note to improve plottypus.
• The data processing addendum is part of these terms for every customer. For personal data in your sessions that you or your organisation control, we are your processor.
• You’re responsible for having a lawful basis to share any personal data your sessions contain.

Services we rely on#

• Claude Code runs on your machine, on your own Anthropic plan. We never touch your Claude login. Anthropic’s terms for Claude Code apply to your use of it.
• Anthropic provides the model. Until our first paying customer, reviews run on Anthropic’s consumer Claude service under our own account. Before we take the first payment, they move to Anthropic’s commercial API or Amazon Bedrock. Details are in the privacy policy.
• Other providers are on the subprocessors page.
• plottypus is not made, endorsed or sponsored by Anthropic. “Claude” and “Claude Code” are Anthropic’s trademarks.

Our property#

The plottypus software, site and brand are ours. You get a personal, non-transferable right to use the CLI and the service while your account is open. We may use feedback you give us freely.

Suspension and termination#

• You can stop any time: cancel the plan, then delete the account in Settings.
• We may suspend or close your account, with notice where we reasonably can, if you don’t pay, break the acceptable use rules, use the service for fraud or harm, break these terms seriously or repeatedly, or if the law, a court or a provider we depend on requires it.
• If we close or suspend your account for any reason other than your breach or non-payment, we refund the unused part of the month. That includes a provider we depend on stopping the service.
• When an account closes, we delete its data as the privacy policy says. Download your data first if you want it.

Disclaimers and liability#

• As far as the law allows, we give no warranty that the service will be error-free or uninterrupted, fit for a particular purpose, or that findings will be correct or complete.
• As far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, lost data (unless we caused it by not taking reasonable care), or losses from acting or not acting on a finding.
• Our total liability for all claims is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.
• Nothing here limits liability the law doesn’t allow to be limited, such as for fraud, or your rights as a consumer under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 or the laws of your country.

Law and disputes#

• Indian law governs these terms. Courts at Indore, Madhya Pradesh have jurisdiction. This doesn’t affect your right to complain to a consumer commission where you live or work.
• Consumers in the EU or UK keep the protection of their country’s mandatory laws and can bring a claim in their local courts.
• Please contact the grievance officer first; most problems are faster to fix that way.

Changes to these terms#

• The version is at the top. We keep every earlier version and send it on request.
• For a change that hurts you (price, what’s included, cancellation, liability, data use), we email you at least 30 days ahead and ask you to agree again. It applies to you only if you agree. If you don’t, your plan ends at the end of the paid period, and we refund any prepaid unused period beyond that.
• Small fixes, like typos, clearer wording or new features, take effect when published.

Contact and grievances#

• Email: hello@plottypus.com
• Address: Siddharth Nagar, Indore 452009, Madhya Pradesh, India
• Grievance officer: Lay Sheth, same email and address

We acknowledge every complaint within 48 hours and resolve it within one month.

General#

These terms, the DPA, the privacy policy (which describes how we handle data and is not a contract you agree to) and the checkout screen are the whole agreement. If one part is unenforceable, the rest stays. Not enforcing a right isn’t giving it up. You can’t transfer this agreement without our consent; we may transfer it to a successor who takes over the service, and we’ll tell you.
