Your AI tier. Versioned. Locked. Honored.
Dovetail commits to your pricing tier in writing -- no deprecated models, no walls that appear overnight, no workarounds required.
300M ChatGPT users hit the same wall
The problem
Every AI platform makes the same play: launch a free tier, build your workflow around it, then deprecate the model and shove access behind a $20 wall. You adapt. You find a workaround. You open another tab. Then it happens again. The problem is not the price -- it is that the commitment was never real.
“free models are deprecated and shoved behind $20 walls”
How it works
Dovetail issues a versioned pricing contract: your tier, your models, locked to the date you committed -- enforced by a public changelog, not a marketing promise.
Pick your tier
Choose the access level that fits your workflow -- every tier is documented, dated, and version-controlled the moment you commit.
Your tier gets locked
Dovetail writes your tier to a public commitment log with a version hash -- no quiet deprecations, no retroactive changes.
Honor, not hope
If Dovetail ever changes what your tier includes, you are grandfathered in or your money comes back -- promise once, honor forever.
Different becauseChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini reserve the right to move models behind higher tiers at any time with no versioned commitment. Dovetail does not -- your tier is a dated, public record, not a subscription agreement designed to be quietly revised.
What's inside
- 01
Version-locked tiers
Every pricing tier is issued with a version number and a commit date. What you pay for on day one is documented and honored indefinitely.
- 02
Public commitment log
Every change to any tier is published to a human-readable changelog with a hash. No quiet updates. No retroactive rewrites.
- 03
Deprecation protection
If a model in your locked tier is retired, Dovetail provides a direct equivalent at no additional cost -- or issues a full refund.
- 04
Hedge-free workflow
Stop maintaining backup accounts across competing platforms. Your Dovetail tier is the only tab you need open.
- 05
Tier portability
Your version-locked access travels with your account across devices, teams, and API integrations without renegotiation.
Built for
Priya, 34, senior ML engineer
Priya builds internal tooling on top of AI APIs and relies on consistent, predictable access to specific model tiers. She has been burned three times in 18 months -- once by a deprecated free tier, once by a mid-cycle price hike, once by a model pulled without notice. She is not hopping platforms because she is disloyal. She is hopping because she is done being betrayed.

Questions
When you commit to a tier, Dovetail records the exact models and access limits in a versioned entry on a public log. That entry cannot be altered retroactively. If we ever reduce what a tier includes, existing tier holders keep the version they committed to.
Dovetail sources from multiple providers. If a model is deprecated upstream, we substitute a directly equivalent model at no cost to you. If no equivalent exists, you receive a prorated refund or a free upgrade.
The free tier is versioned like every other tier. If we ever change what free includes, existing free users keep their current access. We will not deprecate free and shove it behind a wall.
Terms of service are written to be revised. Our commitment log is append-only and publicly auditable -- every change is dated, hashed, and attributed. It is closer to a git history than a legal document.
The Founder tier locks in access to the full model catalog at the lowest monthly price Dovetail will ever publicly offer. Founders also get a direct voice in which models get added next.
Yes. Monthly tiers cancel without penalty. The Pre-Order one-time purchase includes a 30-day money-back guarantee with no questions asked.
Pre-Order holders receive a full refund. Monthly subscribers receive a prorated refund for the unused period. The commitment log is open-sourced before any shutdown so the record of promises stays public.
Why this exists
Dovetail exists because AI pricing commitments should be versioned and honored, not revised quietly when revenue targets change.
With 300M users affected by a single platform's paywall decision, the demand for a committed alternative is no longer speculative.
Built by engineers who got burned one too many times and decided to build the contract they wished existed.
