One ladder, from free local scans to team governance.

OpenThunder Desktop and the OpenThunder CLI are free, local tools for individual developers. They scan your repositories and give you software-ownership insight right on your own machine. No account is required for free local scans, and because they run locally your code stays with you, nothing is sent anywhere unless you explicitly upload or connect a repo.

OpenThunder Desktop / CLI stays free. Local scanning and the software-ownership tools that run on your machine are free for individual developers, with no account required. The paid layers are the cloud offers: the one-time Repo Snapshot ($45), Repo Ownership Pack ($99), and Guided Repo Handoff ($199), plus OpenThunder Cloud subscriptions (from $19/month) and Repo Mastery.

OpenThunder Cloud is the paid cloud governance and history layer for teams. It adds repo history over time, shared dashboards, governance, scheduled scans, pull-request gates, an AI Security inventory, and team controls. Plans are Solo Cloud ($19/month), Team Cloud ($199/month, 10 seats), Business ($499/month, 25 seats), and Enterprise ($999/month, 50 seats). Cloud features require cloud processing, so a repo you want analyzed must be uploaded or connected.

Repo Snapshot is the $45 one-time, proof-of-concept cloud report: one repo, one cloud scan, one ownership report, with 7 days of access. It includes an architecture / code-health / security / AI-security summary, top risks, recommended cleanup missions, a Repo Mastery starter map, a Handoff summary, and an exportable report. It's a starter, it does not include full Repo Mastery.

Repo Mastery is the cloud-only human understanding and onboarding layer. It turns a codebase into guided learning, readiness scores, and ownership proof, so a developer genuinely understands a repo, not just reads it. It runs in the cloud (it is not bundled into the downloadable app) and it contains the Handoff workflow. The $45 Snapshot gives you a Repo Mastery starter map; full Repo Mastery is the subscription layer.

Handoff is a workflow inside Repo Mastery for transferring repo ownership, packaging the context, risks, decisions, and next steps a new owner or team needs to take over confidently. It is not a standalone product. If you'd like it done with you, Guided Repo Handoff ($199 one-time) is a guided walkthrough with prioritized risks and next-sprint recommendations.

Skills Tech Talk is the communication and practice layer. OpenThunder and Repo Mastery reveal what's in a codebase; Skills Tech Talk helps you explain, defend, and present it, in interviews, reviews, system-design discussions, and stakeholder conversations. It's the final step of the ladder, available as Talk Pro or as part of the Skills Tech Professional Bundle.

You explicitly connect or upload one repository, OpenThunder runs a single cloud scan, and you get an ownership report you can export and share, with 7 days of access. Because it is a cloud report, it requires cloud processing, so the repo has to be uploaded or connected. It's a one-time $45 purchase for one repo, with no subscription.

With OpenThunder Desktop / CLI, your repo data stays local, scans run on your machine and nothing leaves unless you explicitly upload or connect a repo. For cloud offers (Repo Snapshot, Repo Ownership Pack, OpenThunder Cloud, Repo Mastery), the repo you choose is processed in the cloud so the report or dashboard can be produced. You decide which repos, if any, are ever uploaded.

Only what you explicitly choose to upload or connect. Local scans stay local and never upload automatically. When you use a cloud offer, the specific repository you select is uploaded or connected for that cloud processing. Please only upload code you are authorized to share.

Yes. You can request deletion of repo data you've uploaded to the cloud. Local Desktop / CLI scan data never left your machine, so there is nothing on our side to delete for free local scans.

It depends on the offer. Desktop / CLI is free with no time limit. Repo Snapshot ($45) includes 7 days of access to your report. Repo Ownership Pack ($99) includes 30 days. Guided Repo Handoff ($199) includes 30 days plus a 30-minute call. OpenThunder Cloud and Repo Mastery are subscriptions, you have access while your subscription is active.

Follow the ladder: start free with Desktop / CLI, buy a $45 Repo Snapshot for a shareable cloud report on one repo, step up to the $99 Repo Ownership Pack or a $199 Guided Repo Handoff for a deeper or guided result, then subscribe to OpenThunder Cloud (Solo $19/mo → Team $199/mo → Business $499/mo → Enterprise $999/mo) for history, governance, PR gates, and the AI Security inventory. Add Repo Mastery for learning, onboarding, and Handoff, and pair with Skills Tech Talk Pro or the Skills Tech Professional Bundle. Upgrade any time from OpenThunder's site.

Yes. OpenThunder Cloud and Repo Mastery are subscriptions you can cancel; you keep access through the end of your current billing period. The one-time offers (Repo Snapshot, Repo Ownership Pack, Guided Repo Handoff) aren't subscriptions, so there's nothing to cancel, and Desktop / CLI is free.

Desktop / CLI (free): local scanning and software-ownership tools. Repo Snapshot ($45, 7 days): 1 private repo, 1 cloud scan, architecture/code-health/security/AI-security summary, top risks, cleanup missions, a Repo Mastery starter map, a Handoff summary, and an exportable report. Repo Ownership Pack ($99, 30 days): a deeper report and a fuller Repo Mastery starter pack. Guided Repo Handoff ($199, 30 days + a 30-minute call): a guided walkthrough with prioritized risks and next-sprint recommendations. OpenThunder Cloud (Solo $19 / Team $199·10 seats / Business $499·25 seats / Enterprise $999·50 seats, monthly): repo history, dashboards, governance, scheduled scans, PR gates, AI Security inventory, and team controls. Repo Mastery (subscription): guided repo learning, onboarding, readiness scores, ownership proof, and the Handoff workflow.

No. OpenThunder helps you identify and govern risk in your code and your AI-assisted changes, but it is not a security certification. Any compliance-readiness signals it surfaces are aids for your own process, they are not a legal certification or a formal audit.

No. OpenThunder helps you find, understand, and govern risk, but it does not guarantee that your code is secure. Security is an ongoing practice; OpenThunder is a tool that supports it, not a guarantee of any particular outcome.
